Noah, Laci and Grant

I was scheduled to go photograph Noah on a brisk fall day at their house. They wanted a selection of outdoor shots as well as indoor photos. Because it was a drizzly morning they thought that they should postpone the session. In the end though we decided to go ahead. As it turned out, it was absolutely the right decision. We still got rained on a time or two, but the rain made for richer colors and more interesting textures. In addition the cloudy day created less harsh lighting. See for yourself.

In this photograph you can especially see the richer textures from the rain. This really created a cool look IMO.

This is a tender moment between child and dad.

The whole family (dog included - always a challenge) outside.

Just before heading back indoors. Look at those eyes!

This piano has been in the family for generations. Any time a "prop" like this can be used it adds to the shot and helps make the photographs speak more directly to your family.

A little Tom-foolery to make. Noah with his hand caught in the fishbowl.
