The B Family

It was such a pleasure to work with the B Family!  We met through out kids playing Summer sports together – it was super fun to get to know them even better during their session!  We connected this past Fall and hit several places I love: downtown Haddam, an old farmstead, a hay field and a great place to catch the sunset!

As can happen in any family, some individuals were game to have pictures taken, others…well, not so much.  That was the case here, but I am thankful to say everyone rose to the occasion, responded positively, and provided some wonderful memories through pictures for their family!  I even heard later that everyone actually had a good time.  🙂

Here are some family pictures to start off with:

These two boys were a blast to have in front of the camera!  I loved watching their personalities emerge as we interacted – they whipped out the serious look, the silly face and true smiles during the course of their session.

Pulling aside just M and K for some pictures was a highlight!  It has been rare for them to have pictures taken together, so I enjoyed locking in some sweet memories for them!  🙂

 We did out best to capture some of the Fall color which had started appear.

(I am eating up this color since it is now winter and everything is stark and bare!)

We took a few shots of this handsome fellow in his football jersey and then had some fun with a random idea that had come to mind: playing with silly string!

As requested, we concluded this session with some silhouette pictures!  (Twist my arm to take them!  Goodness, I have a weak spot for sunset pictures – with people or without, both are amazing!)

Thanks for entrusting me with your pictures, B Family!!!

The K Family

When it comes to larger family sessions, I usually know some of the members involved but not all of them.  This is one thing I absolutely love about large family sessions – I get to meet the people I have heard stories about!  (selfish, I know!)  It is awesome to put a face with their names and get to know them personally!  That was exactly the case with the K family…I knew Mr. and Mrs. K but met their kids, in-laws and grandkids for the first time as we gathered for their session!

Thanks for contacting me, M, and asking me to capture these memories for each of you!  I loved every minute!

These two were great to work with…we caught a variety of them busy and at play.  🙂

This miniature tractor was awesome!  As you scroll down you will see it is a smaller version of their Grandpa’s!

As long as the family desires to do so, I really like to take pictures of the couples present…these three sets were super fun and had such great backdrops/lighting for their pictures!

I love the lighting in this barn and thought this picture of M turned out really nice.  We wrapped up our time together with a picture on their deck and a visit to the combine!  BTW, have you seen a common colored thread throughout these pictures?  Yep, it is their favorite!  🙂

C – Senior 2014

This guy was so super easy to work with!  He whipped out the smile or serious face as needed, had some fun along the way, was game to try a few ideas I had and didn’t get upset with me when his freshly polished car ended up dusty from the dirt roads I took him down.  (It was a GOOD THING we took some pictures of him with the car before heading down those dirt roads!)

It was awesome to work with C and I am excited about sharing some more of his pictures with you!

We started out at this cool, old station – love all of its character!

We rolled through Haddam and took a few quick shots along the way before stopping for some pictures with C’s car!

To document C’s time with the football team, we took these pictures at the ball field:

This is the part where I took C down a dirt road and his car ended up totally dusted in the back.  Just for fun he struck a pose to say, “Look what you did”.  🙂  It was kind of fun to be able to write his name in the dust though.

We were keeping an eye on the sun as we caught these images…we had a special sunset picture in mind!

And here is the pictures we were hoping to capture with the setting sun.  🙂  Love it!

C, I thoroughly enjoyed getting to work with you and wish you all the best as your graduate high school and move on to the next thing in life!
