We started planning this session back in the middle of a snowy, New England winter. Dreaming of sunnier days while staring out the window at the 8-foot high snow banks, we knew that warmer days meant fun family time outside. While planning our session, I usually recommend a number of locations to the families that I photograph, and I am always open to their suggestions, as well. The B family requested that we do their session in their backyard since it held so much meaning for them being the spot where they gathered, played, laughed, and celebrated together. It turned out to be the PERFECT location with so many little areas that made for the best photo spots -- rustic sheds, a textured wooden wall, a little gate, winding paths, the perfect tree branches, and more!
Max told me he wanted to show me his favorite spot in the yard, so we climbed through the forsythia bushes to this quiet little space.
Rebecca LOVED being in front of the camera, and she gave me so many natural smiles!
