Family Session: Zambrana

When you are a new photographer (yes photographing for two years and I still consider myself new!) you learn a little bit more each session.   

Having a toddler myself, I sometimes don't realize just how difficult it is to photograph younger kids!  My son is so accustomed to being in from of the camera that taking photos has become a way of life for him but when I come across kids that are not used to all the photographic attention, I meditate on ways to make a session better.

This session was destined for disaster but we made the best of it!  First, the location we originally had picked closed an hour and a half before we even got there.

Then, our second location was flooded by the weeks of rain!  It didn't help that there was an event going on the part of the park that wasn't flooded. 

We overcame some minor obstacles and more than one of us walked away with wet knees but in the end I think the final result was great!

I chose to only show the black and white versions of the photos because I am in love with the way they came out!
