"Time, which changes people, does not alter the image we have retained of them."
When I flip through our personal images from 2013, there is an obvious trend, more and more pictures from sporting events of our kids. Mark loves taking the camera out to games. We can share the images with teammates and so much personality comes through. And it keeps him quiet, which he prefers!
However, for this post, I collected a group of images that shows who they were in Summer 2013. In one look, I can see the girls' ultra long summer hair and tans that come even with obsessive sunscreen application. I see Kendal's huge hoop earrings, and Delaney's hair tie on the wrist. It sums up summer for them - outdoors and in the water as much as possible! I can see Mason's hair - actually styled as he figured out how to use a mirror this year, and his relaxed confidence as he is up for whatever Mark suggests - swimming in an freezing lake? No problem, sounds fun. Kendal's patient "yoga pose" and her full speed sprint up a hill, showing off her can do attitude and a love of running that she discovered this year. And then Delaney, oh so typically flying off a rock with no concern of where she lands, confident that she will be fine, while driving her more thoughtful brother INSANE. While I need a portrait of their faces every year, these are the images that I'm glad that I have. The first step in hiring a photographer, is to CLEARLY convey what you are looking for, and to be sure that they can accomplish it! If you are interested in a similar shoot, LET'S DO IT! You'll look back happily.
Images are from Convict Lake, CA (just south of Mammoth Lakes) and Saddlebag Lakes (just outside of Tuolomne Meadows, Yosemite). Both are amazing family hikes. Convict Lake is around a 2 mile loop with a few swimming areas. The Saddlebag Lake area has various hikes, we chose a short ferry ride and a 5 mile loop that turned out perfect for all.
