one little monkey…

…jumping on the bed. I just found the jumping photos as I was prepping the blog post from this family’s portrait session. The six year old and I got to have a little hangout as my son would call it. He jumped on the bed when no one was looking. Nothing like letting off some energy for an active kid and these are the real moments that make for some pretty cool images. And also a great addition for a signature album. They aren’t in this client’s gallery as I typically show 25-40 images in a gallery. If a client orders an album, I end up adding images not in the gallery to help tell the story of the day. I am asked about this quite often and thought I would share it in this blog post.

Back to this lovely family’s portrait session. We finally got a date down after some sickness in the early months. As luck would have it, PG&E randomly decided to turn off power that day. The family decided to roll with the punches after some back and forth and it turned out to be a great decision. Mom was worried about not having lights working. That wasn’t an issue as I work with natural light. The main issue would have been a freezing house which wasn’t the case and the little five month old was such an amazing little model too. The family will forever remember the day of the shoot and have that story to tell 🙂
