Gracie and Hudson – Take me out to the ball game.

I had an old friend get in touch with me who was looking to get some portrait shots of her kids. She mentioned that she would normally bring them to a studio every year or so and have your basic shots taken in studio. A while back I realized that while I enjoy doing studio work, much of that work is the photographer posing the subject to get the look they desire. And it was back on my SAVANNAH trip that I realized just how much can be done out in the field rather than just a studio. Now I don’t think anything bad of studio shots with all the lights and equipment, in fact I tend to do a mix of both outdoor and studio shots myself. But I have noticed that when I go out for the day with a family, couple, or a model…that their personality, creativity, and comfort seems to really come out. So with kids especially, my preference has become to go and meet with the parents, then simply head out for a while and just let them be while capturing the essence of who they are. Not to mention it’s much easier to simply run around behind a kid with a camera than to try to get them to sit still and pose for a studio shot! To see all of the shots of Gracie and Hudson go HERE!
