Can be so beautiful!!!

Today I worked on taking some shots of my kiddos with the snowy trees in the background. It was cold, and Caroline initially wasn’t too excited about the whole thing.

However, a little goofiness from Daddy and a few songs from Mommy and everyone sat still and even giggled a bit.

And we got some very nice shots!!

I love natural light. LOVE it. But as we approach the depths of November and December, our available natural light is becoming less and less, “available”.

Fortunately, a big, bright window during a snowy afternoon, can still pour in enough light for some beautiful portraits!

Still beautiful even when the subject gets a tad crazy….

Since I am finding myself stuck indoors so often now, my photographic opportunities have become MUCH harder. And, as usual, my youngest gets quickly annoyed at my requests to, at least, stand still for a shot.

I am getting a little creative though – like asking her to look at me THROUGH the barbie house. That was a little more exciting for her, and resulted in a pretty nice shot!

I also try to capture her just lying around enjoying the tough life of a 3 year old.

And sometimes I can distract her by telling her to “Look outside! Is Daddy coming?!”, yes, I am a sneaky one..

But sometimes, the most I can muster is a plead to just stand still for 1.2 seconds. Eye contact is optional.

Unfortunately, although she is only 3, she is quickly becoming wise to my antics. I think my days are numbered.

Fall just has to be the absolute best time for photos. The vibrant colors make an amazing backdrop. And sometimes just a roll in the leaves can lead to a gorgeous portrait!
