Bursey-Couldridge Family

I love photographing young families, however this often means chasing around young children who don't want a stranger (me) taking their picture. I can't blame them, their parents are telling them to smile and act normal when a stranger is following them around with a big camera in front of their face.

Rhys certainly wasn't impressed with me in his house but I did manage to capture some of his smiles. He's the cutest kid and just melts your heart. It's not surprising since his parents are pretty good looking too!!

I'm really enjoying a matte looking photo, so for this blog post I have edited the photos with a light matte effect. Let me know what you think.

Arlen is a country song writer and he wanted some photos for his website (http://www.arlenrussell.com/)

The day of our photo session was the first big snowfall of the season - it was very cold. We met at an abandoned house and trudged through the snow to find the best spots to do the pictures. I was wearing a full snowsuit including hat and mitts!!

Arlen was such a great sport and you would never know by the pictures that it was freezing cold.
