October Mini Sessions at Burke Lake






This weekend we held our mini-sessions for October. We chose Burke Lake Park for its wide open fields and interesting backdrops. It has a railroad, a pond, and excellent climbing trees. I'm not too sure we were supposed to be climbing those trees, but it was fun nonetheless. We took photos for two families. Our first family session was the Chapman family. They were looking for a family photo and some candids of the kids. The Chapman family is a large family, so getting all of the kids to do what we wanted was challenging. They wanted to explore all of the fun stuff at the park! :)





Our second family was the Hawthorne family. We have done a shoot for them before and these girls are too cute. They knew how to pose for the camera and find great shoots. Most of all they wanted to run the fields and climb trees. We started their session right before sunset so we had the chance to capture some great evening light. Here are some of my favorites from the day.

Madison Takes on the Playground

Last weekend we spent a sunny afternoon outside with Miss Madison Bothe. It’s crazy how much she’s changed over the last year! Her mom mentioned that one of Madison’s favorite things is riding through the neighborhood in her red wagon, and boy was she right! Once we got going, you couldn’t wipe the smile off her face as she rode with water bottle in hand. We stopped for a break in a field, and it was fun to watch her reaction as she sat and crawled in the fresh summer grass. We also found a nearby playground and Madison loved playing peek-a-boo with Mom and Dad in the tunnel. Her genuinely happy demeanor and awesome little personality made capturing “a day in the life” a pretty easy task!
