Garden Portraits

These two boys visited in June.

My portrait garden got a lot of use this year.  From babies to teens and even grown men, I've photographed every age group in this beautiful space.  It has been landscaped to look good from early spring to late fall and I can even get a good photo there in the dead of winter!  Check out these portraits:

We photographed each boy separately.

There are many different seating areas in the garden for good and completely different lighting and backgrounds, no matter the season or the time of day.

This close-up captures their fun-loving personalities.

"Burrito" girl!  This girl was extra happy when her Dad wrapped her up in my fleece portrait blanket.  She looked very cozy.

She changed into a cute jumper for more photos in my shade garden. 

These kids wanted to surprise their Mom with a portrait of themselves.  We started in the studio....

then went to the garden for a few more images.  What fun kids!

This family also enjoyed the garden, in addition to the studio for their portrait session.  Here they are on the back patio, looking toward the garden beyond.
