8. Dad’s playfulness with the kids
9. The whole family’s energy, spunk, and beauty
Thanks for welcoming me to your home and spending a beautiful summer evening with me!
Talk about luck. After scattered thunderstorms all day long, the clouds parted about 15 minutes before our session, and we had the most beautiful light for the rest of the evening. And it’s a good thing too, since this family lives in Colorado, and was only in the area for a short time. It was now or never!
I had a blast running around with these kids – catching frogs, finding feathers, watching dragonflies, playing tag…perfect activities for the summer solstice!
Thanks to all of you for a fun family portrait playdate!
I’ve been working quite a bit over the past few weeks on my website – I’m moving to just one site, rather than having the blog and the website portfolio gallery separate. So this is it! When you hit www.gwendolynwaite.com you’ll come to a landing page which looks like this, rather than a splash page where you choose between the blog and the site. I think this is cleaner, easier to navigate, and far simpler. All of my portfolio galleries can be viewed by clicking on the link above in the brown navigation bar named “galleries” (pretty straightforward, huh! I’m all about making it easy!)
Take a look around and let me know what you think. Hope you like it too!
Here’s a photo I shot recently of a Japanese Maple Tree (I think!) – enjoy.
My final tip in my series of how to take better photos of your kids!
This week’s tip: Get down to your child’s level.
You’ll feel much more that you’re interacting with them in the photo, rather than towering from above.
Sit down on the ground with them. Play. Tell them jokes. Sing a song. See the world from their point of view.
And here’s one I took while playing on the floor with my little guy and our abundantly patient cat.
Yes, he has purple slippers.
Yes, they used to be his sister’s.
Classy, huh.
Hope to see you at my WiseMamas discussion this Thursday June 10, 2010 at Health Foundations Family Health and Birth Center! This event will include an informal presentation on how to take better photos, a question and answer session, and a goodie bag for each registered attendee!
