IN THE PARK

 

 

What can I say, these two siblings had bounds of energy and the park setting allowed them to freely express this... often in a rough and tumble kinda lovin' way:) The sun was just an hour from setting when we started and the light was beautiful and warm but still quite sharp which is typical for this change in season time of year. I've posted just a few from our session, mostly in black and white, with a couple at the end to show their gorgeous colouring.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MISS J

 

 

It was close to sunset on a mild day and we got some very warm, sweet photos.

This is a new location and we had so much fun "finding the light"...

not easy when the park was full of walkers and dogs off lead.

 They were fascinated (the dogs that is) with Miss J

 and managed to leave a huge amount of slobber

 on our clothes and my reflector.

Note to self...BRING WET WIPES!!

After taking some photos amongst the trees, we saw these huge, sticky spider webs...

needless to say we moved far

far away to a more grassy open area by the water...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And just in case Miss J's serious expressions fooled you, I've added

 just two of the many funny poses

 she struck at every

possible opportunity,

 yes she is one serious clown at heart!

MISS A

 

 

 

It was overcast

 and rainy

 but

 despite that

we

 had a lot of

 fun.

She was a real trooper and put up with the creepy crawlies

even after seeing the spider webs run thickly from tree to tree.

 I was so glad we never actually saw the size of its maker, urghhh.

 She did not feel like smiling,

which was fine with me...

I like her serious expressions.

AFTER SCHOOL



 

We had a wonderful ten minutes together for photographs.

She wanted

to

 go out with her friends

 and had spent all her pocket money,

so she earned more by cooking us

 a lovely dinner of chicken with mushroom sauce and veggies and

 while that was simmering away on the stove,

 she sat for me

 so I could test the light! 

She earned every dollar don't you think?..

.and I'm loving that late afternoon light that comes through our sliding doors.

 Next time I hope to try it closer to sunset!
