Field portrait session [Templeton Child Photographer]

You’ve seen Tessa recently on my blog when I photographed the family Christmas portraits. I was really looking forward to this mini session with Tessa to celebrate her last birthday. This is about the only time of year I’ll go hiking through a field (no snakes this time of year). And right behind their house is this field that I knew would be perfect. And perfect it was! Thankfully we both had on boots to go exploring. It was a cloudy and windy day which made for great lighting, even though it was dark clouds overhead. Little did I know how much I would laugh as she took me all around the field. Mom and Dad stayed home and let us have our time together to do the session.

I just adore Tessa’s momma Caroline. Why? Well, because Caroline gets “me” and trusts me and lets me shoot and do my thing, knowing she’ll be pleased with the results of my artwork. I LOVE THAT! That lets me be creative, to not be limited. Oh, and she loves black and white images which are my favorites to produce. Thank you, Caroline. Looking forward to visiting you soon.

Picking just a couple “sneak peeks” wasn’t really an option. So here are a handful of my faves.

The Perez Children [Paso Robles Photographer]

These are the cute children who live a couple doors down. I have actually wanted to photograph them for some time, but it just hasn’t happened until last week. I’m thinking I might have to ask them to model for me in the future to try out some new locations and lighting. Such cuties.

Sorry for the absence and being behind on posting to the blog, but this is the busiest time of the year. If you’re waiting for your order, it will be here soon, but the labs are getting very backed up and taking at least a week longer than normal. Please bear with me and trust me, you’ll have your orders in plenty of time for Christmas.

You’ve seen the boys many times. I adore them. They make me laugh. As I photograph them, their dad always makes them laugh. How you ask? Umm, well, I usually don’t know because he stands behind me doing crazy things. I do know that I had a cow pie being held above my head this evening. I know that Zachary has his dad’s funniness, as he made his cousin laugh hysterically at times and her laugh is infectious!

Anyhow, the boys’ cousins were visiting from out of state and we did a short little session the other evening out at the property.

If you follow my blog at all, you know I absolutely love black and white images. There is just something about them. ♥

If I could steal this truck and take it with me to all my sessions, I would. Isn’t it awesome?

I was excited to photograph the boys in summer, with their tans and asked Mom if they’d be up for no shirts. Thank you, boys, for doing this shot for me.
