Creative Black and White Family Portrait Session
We met up with the Knott family at a cool park in Costa Mesa. It was right in the middle of fall so all the leaves were on the ground- which was perfect for this black and white family portrait session! We wanted this session to be natural and fun- so we let the little boys give us their input for poses. This gets the boys totally involved and actually gives us natural and real smiles. The tug-o-war photo was mom’s idea- mom VS the boys! This was a first for us, and we loved the concept since Jennifer is the only girl in our family. If you have a furry family member, don’t forget to bring them along! We love pets!
Black and White Family Portraits
The original idea for this session was to capture a candid and fun fall family portrait. We decided afterwards to make it black and white! B&W makes a session feel so good! Especially in a family storybook album- or wall cluster. It works in any room or any frame and people are always drawn to a black and white photo. Don’t get me wrong, this session had beautiful light- worthy of any room in their home but black and white photography just gives it an artistic touch.
