On a beautiful spring day in Puyallup, Scott met up with 2006 wedding clients Cara and Jeremy for an at-home portrait shoot with their 8-month-old boy Jack. Jack was still napping when Scott arrived, which made possible this hilariously groggy shot of him in the first seconds of waking up.
We started the session in Jack's room, both to get shots of Cara getting him ready and to give him a chance to warm up to the camera. Not that he needed it! Jack was in great spirits from the start.
A boy and his favorite ball — too cute! That ball had a big label that we were able to seamlessly Photoshop out.
The living room couch was the scene of many fun little moments that are so fun to shoot. These are a few of my favorite shots, all of them unposed and taken while goofing around in the relaxed, low-key manner that defines a Wallflower portrait session.
With the sun and the tulips both out in full force, we headed outside for the second half of the portrait session. Bright, direct sun is actually pretty challenging lighting for photography. Here's a little photo tip: Even though it may seem paradoxical, when your subjects are out in bright sun, you need to flash
more than when you're in the shade. That's because lighting is even in the shade. In the sun, you get both brightly lit foreheads and noses and shadowy eye sockets, and the flash helps to balance the lighting out. See the results for yourself below.
Once the session was over, Jack got a well-deserved snack, which was worth one last shot.
It was great seeing Cara and Jeremy again, and meeting Jack for the first time — he's a real cutie!
