Breaking a Sweat

I don’t know if it’s because I’m new at photography, or if it’s because this particular family are friends of mine, but the nerves struck again as I attempted my first family session. I’m really glad that they were okay with a newbie like me taking their pics to help commemorate the 70th birthday and the 1st birthday of two of its members.

I tried having the shoot in the early evening in hopes that the high sun would start to dip, giving relief of the 30+ degree weather smoldering the earth that day. With the absence of clouds, and bedtime beckoning the little gaphers, I worked up a sweat trying to avoid squinting eyes and harsh contrast.

My two kiddo’s tagged along and I think my lil’ guy was too distracted by a certain someone’s beauty and cuteness that he wound up in some of the pics but hey, I’m a little biased with my viewfinder.
