I have a knack for doing outdoor portraits in the cold as of late. Granted, winter has a lot to do with it and we are in the middle of January, but we've had so many warm days this winter that you would think I would be able to have a little luck and hit some of them when I do an outdoor shoot. But never fear, those in front of the camera were tough and still managed to look great, despite the 25 degree temperature!
I spent the morning photographing some long time friends and now neighbors and their new little boy. These were shot as in a lifestyle/photojournalistic fashion which is how I prefer to shoot families (as opposed to more traditional posed "look at the camera and smile" shots). I try to capture not only life as it happens for real, but also the surroundings, especially with children. Little ones grow up so fast and it's always hard to remember how small they once were. Hopefully these guys will be able to look back one day and remember him growing up in their quaint little cottage. Here are a few of the shots! If you want to see more, check out a quick slideshow.
I had a portrait shoot this morning that was scheduled to be outdoors. When I looked outside first thing this morning I saw blue sky and knew it would be a great day for shooting. Little did I know that it was 6 degrees (F) with the wind chill!
These gals were troopers to hang on for as long as they did. We shot fast, though, to get them out of the cold and back in the heat!
