Outtakes . For Fun

Have I mentioned just how blessed I feel to be working with some of the best people on the planet?  Well if I haven't, I cannot stress enough just how humbling it is for a family, a bride and groom, or anybody to trust me enough to get in front of my camera.  Even moreso, nothing thrills me more than when I can really tell that my clients are comfortable enough to just be themselves.  It sort of goes without saying that this is when you will get the best photos. 

When I am shooting a family, my main goal is for it to be fun and exactly how I arrive at that is a little bit different each time.  As I was looking back through these photos again, I found these two photos that I would consider outtakes.  These two boys were full of energy and willing to try just about anything, so I went with it.  As a result we get some frames like these, which, although might not be the best composed or most spot on focused photos in the world, to me speak volumes about the personalities of these two.

#1 - Background story - we're at the beach (duh) and the boy had just had their hands in the sand.  As we were getting ready to take a "serious" picture I noticed hands full of sand...it was obvious to me that a high-5 was in order!

#2.  Everything and I mean, EVERYTHING is a contest with boys.  Naturally, lets make that official.  So, I say.."hey boys, lets see who can jump the highest"!

Thanks for humoring me!  Just a little insight into how I do things...and just how hard my job is :).
