Photographing the Moments

Beautiful fall day, beautiful family!

This family used to live near this state park, and would come here often.  That made it the perfect place to do a family photography session.  They took me to all their favorite places – the tangled tree, the view of the falls, the shore of the river – and played while I took pictures.  My job, as a documentary photographer, was to be in the right place at the right time to capture the interactions, connections, relationships, and emotions.  Yes, they knew I was taking their pictures, but I wasn’t posing them or telling them what to do.  I was watching, anticipating, composing and focusing.

Their love for each other and for this beautiful place shows through in the images.  I love this kind of session!
