It has been a while since I have had a sunrise session. Getting up early was so worth it for these beautiful photos.
Why a sunrise session?
You know I love when the sun is low and I also love using backlight on my subjects. It happens that the tree line at this park that I had in mind for photos is to the East. Behind me is a parking lot. Time of day really can make a huge difference in your photos!
So excited for these two to welcome their first born soon!
Golden hour in a pretty Ohio field and a gorgeous family.. the stuff dreams are made of!
I think location scouting takes up about 30% of my job as your photographer! So.. when I found this gorgeous field a few years ago, I was soooo excited. The perfect location at sunset makes a huge difference for your photos. There are so many factors that we photographers take into consideration including light, backdrop (sorry, I don’t want to photoshop power lines out of all of your photos!), versatility through the seasons, and seclusion.. and this location never disappoints for photos.
I am so honored this beautiful family asked me to photograph this special time for them! Enjoy a glimpse into a full session with me!
Photos at sunset are always my favorite. You cannot beat the magical light and golden glow. It was such a joy to see these guys again for their family photos!
I am blogging this session about a year and a half after the photos were taken. When I showed the photos to my friend pictured here with her children, she said:
“[I] love this so much!!!! So wonderful to look back on this time. [My daughter] weaned shortly after that session so I'm glad we got some with her as well. [My son] weaned last summer-my youngest at three and a half. I'm happy and sad at the same time that my nursing has come to an end. ..I'm so proud of my nursing journey with each of my kids, and that they chose when to wean, and that we'll have pictures to tell stories and pass on knowledge of breastfeeding beyond infancy and motherhood. It's giving me all the feels right now!!!"
I am so happy that we took these photos for her. Are you nearing the end of your breastfeeding journey with your child(ren)? Documenting it can help so much with the process of weaning.. I know it has helped me. It helps to just know you cherished it and took the time to have photos taken that you will always be able to look back on.
