Vivian is a 5 year old who LOVES dance and you can see it in so many of her poses. She is obviously a natural at this stuff. Lochlan is very much a two year old boy with a mind of his own. He had very strong opinions of what he didn't want today like all two year olds, but we tried our best to negotiate. Along with my two boys, 5 and 3 and we had a bunch of energy for the 5 and under crowd. Luckily my boys behaved very well and Erik was even my photo assistant and held my reflector for me for a couple of the spots. I might have to bring my little man again sometime.
Here are some of the posed shots of the lovely Vivian.
I had to follow Lochlan around today a lot to get him with just the right look, but when I snapped that picture he was insanely photogenic.
The the trick, trying to get a 2 year old boy who just wants to be playing with sticks and not taking pictures to pose with his sister who is more than willing. Mom helped, and we got some.
Then we called it a day and just had a "playdate" at the park with all the kids to get some natural action shots. My kids were in the way most of the time, and Elliot and Vivian surprisingly hit it off, but they had a good time and kept trying to get me to take a picture of all the kids. The only success "group" shot I got were of the 5 year olds.
Then some fun outtake. Photo #1, my favorite spot but couldn't get both smiling at the same time and Lochlan and the boys only gave me a chance to shot off one frame. Photo #2, pretending they are Superman. Photo #3, not sure what they didn't like but the only double pout I got. Its pretty cute.
I was very happy their mother called me to photograph these two great kids. We had our challenges, but it was a fun afternoon and there were some great images from it.
