This family is friends with the family who participated in my last paint fight session, and loved the photos so much, they wanted to schedule one of their own. That’s where the similarities end. This mom had a beachy vision, and we went back and forth on phone and text as she described how she was mixing paints to create different shades of blue. I think the colors came out fantastic, and look great in the mason jars so the color can be seen (note: we figured this was safe because we were on the sand and a dropped bottle would have plenty of cushion, luckily we did not test this theory). I also love how mom went for a more dressy yet casual styling for the family and wasn’t afraid to get a pretty dress dirty! I am happy to report that after some scrubbing, the kids’ clothes are paint-free!
I love a good posed family portrait, but I really love a session with some sort of activity that allows me to capture a family’s interaction, and this one had plenty! It was especially meaningful for me as a photographer to know that these little beauties model. They have tons of gorgeous photos, and have worked with many photographers, and chose me for this session. That was both humbling and motivating, and I did not take lightly the opportunity to work with them to bring out their natural family moments. It was a pleasure working with you ‘A’ family, and I hope to get you in front of my camera again soon!
