Beautiful days
These September days have been so beautiful. I'm having my friend, Courtney, come out w/ her family on Thursday to take our family portrait and I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone yesterday by taking the children on a hike as well as scout out some locations in the woods for our portrait. I wanted the woods because in the late afternoon, the sun filters through our woods so beautifully I want to capture that in a photo. So, I put Will in the back pack and we went hiking. Sort of.
I went hiking, then I would hike back and unstick Maggie from a jagger bush. Then I would stop and take some test shots - I would set the children in spots and ask them to pose for me for test shots. The results:
I thought this one was cool with the way the sun glare created the rainbows.
This one is my favorite - the way the lens captured the rays of light filtering through the trees. Lovely!
I don't know what the deal is with Maggie and the shirt. She kept pulling it up.

Walker and that stick. He needed a walking stick - except he kept holding it horizontally and sticking it in my stomach! Maybe this is his, "You touch my sister, I'll kill you" look.Not sure how I feel about these test shots.
But, I did take some lovely ones w/ o the children.
