I know it’s really cliche to talk about the weather. But up here in Practically Canada we are experiencing a weather phenomenon. Temps are still hitting 40˚s during the day. There’s no snow on the ground. Heck, I’ve only worn a coat once or twice this fall. Today a scarf and a flannel button down were all the outerwear I sported. So…I’m talking about the weather. Never in the years have I lived here have I been able to shoot outdoors {fairly} comfortably so late in the season.
Just a few weeks ago I was blessed to spend on of the more chilly mornings {note a couple red noses} photographing the beautiful Trondson family. Even thought I’ve known them for a few years, this is our first session together. I so enjoyed this opportunity to get to know them better–especially the chance to talk to these precious kiddos!
These turned out to be kind-of-sort-of industrial family photos. I love using these brick and metal walls as a back drop. And as a side note–since lots of you are asking what to wear in your Christmas photos–I love what this family wore to their session!! Greys, white, black and blue jeans. They look classic and classy–but not matchy matchy. They’ve struck a great balance, and they look fabulous. This family is absolutely beautiful!
Oh, and can I just add that I absolutely love snapping a few photos of just mom and dad together?! These moments are so special. I love photographing couples whose love and marriage have matured. These two are just so adorable!
Eventually, the littlest of the bunch got a little fussy and fingers began to grow icy. So instead of insisting that we make kidcicles, we moved our party inside where we finished the session. And, as you can see by these smiles–it was a good choice. {Oh, and how sweet is this shoulder shot?! She’s a momma’s girl, which is just about the cutest thing in the world.}
Thanks Trondson family! I had a wonderful time with you and can’t wait for you to see the rest of your images!
