Photographed little Ryleigh the other day with her parents, Grandma and my long-time friend Sean. Drove down to their house in Rancho Bernardo and I set up a makeshift studio in their garage (equipment used for the photo shoot will be listed below). We were just looking to capture some simple family portraits and we ended up having a good time and getting a lot of great images. The images you see below are a few of my favorites from the studio set up and the remainder of the photo shoot were candid photos of Ryleigh playing in and around the house. In my experience working with little ones you just have to go with the flow and let them do their thing. With a little bit of direction mixed with their own personalities equals great photos every time. Ryleigh was quite the trooper and I must say she did an awesome job.

The greatest thing Joe is that you were so at ease, we never had to put together a shot, nothing formal, we just had fun it was so easy.
ReplyDeleteKids are very sensitive to there surroundings, mind you we have been to other studios numerous times and at the very least its an ordeal and frankly Ryeigh never leaves happy, its sit here hold that, the assistant holding stuffed animals yelling look here look there, and at the very end "heres your print, no the pictures we took are ours you have to pay extra for the disc". That was enough of that.
Thank You so much for the carefree day and all the great memories we have on photo, they grow up so fast and these moments are everything to us. Your our guy and all of our friends from now on....see ya soon The Connors
