Imperfectly Perfect | Plainfield Naperville Children's Photographer

I have tried and tried to get beautiful pictures of my own children and rarely succeeded.  Until now.

It was time for my daughter’s three year outdoor session.  I grabbed my husband and son to tag along (I always want good sibling pictures if I can manage it).  I had spotted this field at the opposite end of the park I have been using for sessions lately and knew it would be perfect for a late session with gorgeous, golden light.  I wanted a dreamy feel and the best light for outdoor sessions (when shooting natural light) is when the sun is low in the sky.  We shot this at 7:00 pm.  As a photographer, I have to be careful and get the sun behind the subject in order to get this mood.  Otherwise, I get some harsh blowouts, which i did get in some, but I still love them, even with some of the technical imperfections.

These are the best brother/sister shots of my kids I have ever taken, and are definitely my new favorites.  I will be blowing them up big to go up my stairway.  If you are wanting a similar session, plan for late in the day.

Want pictures like these of your children?  Then I’m ready for you. 🙂
