Anyway, this seems to be the year of the Mesa Arts Center. That is the location most requested and there were no fewer than 5 different groups taking photos at the center at the same time we were cruising around with the Adam's family.
Still, it was fun. It's always interesting to learn how to work with children. They are never the same and no matter how easy or difficult they may be, you still have to have patience and luck to get good portraits. I think we had sufficient of both for this shoot.
The lighting was perfect to be able to use a really cool yellow plastic wall that was back-lit by sunset, I thought it was awesome, and the effect of the back-light was really cool.
Unfortunately, the yellow color didn't match the decor that Lisa had in their house. She requested that I change the background to something more turquoise in nature. The change turned out pretty good, but I personally liked the yellow more - it was just fun.
This is probably my favorite picture from the day. We were having a lot of difficulty with getting Bryce to cooperate, but when we let him do his thing he did great. This picture shows that dynamic perfectly. Bryce is just back there jumping around....I think it's a fun picture.
This is another picture I liked. Bryce is now the only one that seems to be genuinely having fun. We just needed to find opportunities for the boys to be having fun together, then the pictures just took care of themselves.
