Yet another Real Life Forever portrait session, this time with Alysse and Jerrod and Alysse’s whole family – parents, siblings, niece and nephew. The weather was as uncooperative as it could be, so thanks to a fellow photographer, we were able to shoot in his studio – which I normally don’t do! But, it sure beats being out in the pouring rain and we had fun playing on the backdrop – especially the kids.
As I’ve said before, the Real Life Forever portrait program is one of the best things I’ve come up with, getting to see my clients yearly after their weddings to hang out and update pictures. On the one nice day we had during the week of Thanksgiving, I got together with Katherine, her husband Chris and her brother James and we did just that. It was a blast, of course, as it always is seeing them. We hit up the neighborhood church grounds, which are lovely and practically void of others.
I’ve said it before, but I always mean it – there is no more flattering request of a photographer than to be asked to photograph the family of a fellow photographer. Alison and I had been talking about their portrait session since, oh, March I guess it was, when we saw each other at Cakes for a Cause. So, on the spur of the moment, we met up in downtown Worthington, wandered around a little bit in the warm sunshine, and then hit the park so the kids could be entertained. Entertainment that included a boatload of leaves, all in a pile, just waiting for them. Poor Alison, she ended up wearing most of them!
Very classic. I so love the style of your pictures. Specially the black and white effects, it really fit what’s in the picture. Amazing!
