{Sneak Preview} The Bloom Family

I had the pleasure of photographing a gorgeous family tonight. Jennifer, Dave and Derrick Bloom. Derrick was just ready to burst the seams full of energy, he was such a fun boy to photograph and all boy.

Mom had something to do before the photo session so she met us there. While waiting I snapped a few pictures of Derrick playing on the rocks. A big favorite for 4 year old boys. I love how at this park there are some fall colors so it looks like the seasons have come to LA. Interesting enough it was 65 degrees and overcast this afternoon so it was definitely feeling like fall.

We met at the park with the idea of making a Christmas card picture of the whole family. We started off, as I do with posed photos, and off camera flash. These are probably my favorite of the day, Derrick was happy to be posing and obviously has lots of love for his wonderful parents.

Then as time wore on Derrick wanted to help choose the spots where we sat so we captured a few more moments in different spots throughout the park, no flash this time for mobility and speed.

Then finally after our mostly overcast afternoon the sun finally came out and we got that gorgeous golden hour light we were aiming for during our session. One last time before the family had to say good-bye.

About Heather

My photo
I am a Los Angles based photographer and mom of 2 wonderful boys. Photography has been a passion of mine over 15 years now, ever since I picked up my first camera in journalism school and started developing my black and whites in a darkroom. The instant an affordable DSLR came out on the market in 2002, I had to have one and have been shooting digital since. Once I became a mom I realized how much I enjoy photographing children and how much better I could understand their nuances so it became a passion of mine. Their is such innocence and beauty in their pictures and I feel privileged to be a part of that. I am constantly trying new approaches and tuning my skills to create the art that is in my head, not just the art that I can create right now. I am very interested in off camera flash, and the depth and clarity it adds to my photographs. Sometimes I take breaks from my blog and photography, but it seems to never leave me completely. I always come back.
