Slowly but surely I am getting caught up on my blogging. I have always had the theory that if I shoot it, it gets blogged no matter how long they take to go up as is the case with Jorja & Travis’s shoot. This was another of my free shoots that I gave away to build my kids portfolio this past spring. Jorja was the flower girl in her Aunt Liz & Uncle Dan’s wedding that I shot last fall (their photos can be found HERE & HERE). When I was looking for kids to do photo shoots with it just made sense to do one with these two. We headed over to the Kids Castle in Doylestown which is about as kid friendly as you can get. It is a massive 8 story wooden playground with a slide that goes from the top level to the bottom. Yes, I was conned by a small child into going down it incase you were wondering. Don’t worry it was fun, just not made for people over 3 feet tall! Since kids don’t have much of an attention span for sitting still during a photo shoot, and who can blame them with a playground like that next to them, we did the shoot in small bits with lots of play time in between.
The picture on the bottom right is one of my favorites from the whole shoot. We asked Jorja to give her brother a hug and she leaned down and have him a kiss instead. It was so cute!!
How can you tell when the kids are getting bored with doing pictures? See example A below haha…
Portrait sessions don’t always have to be stiff poses with backdrops, some of the best pictures happen when you just let kids be kids.
Watch out CJ I have a feeling you are going to be chasing the boys off with a stick when this girl gets older!
Thank you Jill for letting me borrow your adorable kids for a few hours to get some great pictures! Keep an eye for more of these two as I am doing a large family shoot for them next month.
