A Day in the Life | Canton Texas Family Photography

christina — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:41:12 +0000

A new session type (a day in the life) + a very very chilly morning (in the 20s) + one awesome family = yummy chocolate chocolate chip cookies and a fun morning by all.

Day in the Life sessions differ from the traditional portrait session in that they are documentary style instead of posed portraits. The sneak peeks I’ve chosen are the ones where Noah’s not being adorable directly at me and the camera (I have a ton of those too)!

Noah’s peeking in the oven to watch the cookies bake …

Additionally, with the Day in the Life sessions, the only lighting sources are what are avaialble — overhead lighting in your home and any outdoor lighting sources that we can open the curtains/mini blinds and let in. No flash, no strobes.

The only edits done to these images were black and white conversions (the original color images were white balanced prior to conversion). As these are ‘capturing the moment’, no retouching or exposure edits are made.

Many thanks to Scott, Melody, Charles, and Noah for yet another great session!

If you would like to capture a ‘day in the life’ with your family in lieu of the traditional family session (or as a portion of a full portraiture session), contact me for details.

Michael, Melinda, and Tristan – Part 2 | Canton Texas Family Portraiture Photography

It was tough picking out sneak peeks from this session … the last location we ventured to didn’t even make it into the sneak peeks!

This was actually supposed to be of just Michael and Melinda, but Tristan decided to crash the shot

… the entire family

… and Michael teaching Tristan how to skateboard. I have a feeling I’m in a bit of trouble as Michael promised Tristan his own after these portion of the session!

Last month I sneak peeked several of Tristan’s images with the promise of more from the entire family. Since the images for their holiday cards have been chosen, its time for entire family’s sneak peeks …

The whole family …

If you enjoyed Tuesday night’s sneak peeks of Tristan … prepare for more cuteness overload!

… so many canvas worthy images — I’m gonna have a tough time in the spring deciding which one of these to order as another sample canvas for the collection!

The Sign Says It All! | Canton Texas Childrens Photographer

Oh goodness — I wish all of you could have been there in person to witness the first 15 minutes of this session. Its actually their annual family portrait session, but I have so many of Tristan alone that he is not only getting his own blogged sneak peeks, but his own gallery. I couldn’t imagine him topping last year’s antics, but was I wrong! I’ll post the rest of the family session in a few weeks … but I can’t sit on these that long!

More sneak peeks from Tristan’s part of the session coming up on Thursday …
