This month wasn't necessarily my favorite, but the shots I got are because of who they contain. September in the south means 'fall break' from school, and since we were hanging at home this year, I took each of the kids on a date for a meal of choice and a photo shoot, styled by them. I loved loved loved my time with each of them!
First up was Eli. He chose to have only one 'outfit', but we did take the hat on and off a few times. Unfortunately, there was a huge pop up storm that chased us back to the car 10 minutes after we started. I still got a few keepers before the raindrops hit. It was just before sunset, and there were loose clouds all around, but still enough warm sun peaking through.
Because rain was the theme all week, I had to take time when I could get it, meaning Ruby's shoot ended up being mid-morning on an overcast day instead of at sunset. We had total cloud cover, but mostly bright, even light for this shoot.
Maddux joined us and agreed to wear something 'fun' so I could include her in some photos too.
Of course, some of my favorite shots from that session are of the interactions between these closely-bonded sisters.
Last, but far from least, was Maddux's turn. I love her faux glasses, and had so much fun shooting her just being her. She is a beauty, inside and out, and she is growing up before my eyes. This shoot was during 'the golden hour' before sunset, but it was overcast and dark. I had to give a big bump to the ISO even in the middle of the field where we had the most light.
