These two sisters were so adorable. And big brother was my special prop assistant. I may have to hire him to help me out this fall. He was always ready to carry my chairs to a new location...what a guy!
We explored downtown...tried to duck out of the crazy August wind in a few protected corners...and just played. I usually try to keep my client galleries to between 25-30 images. Any more than that and my clients seem to become stressed out trying to choose their favorites. But I couldn't do it on this session. I just finished proofing the entire morning and have SO MANY images ready for their gallery. There were just too many to cut....so sorry Jerilynn...you can blame your beautiful kids if you get stressed out ;)
My other mission for the morning was to review the Nikon 24-70 f2.8 lens that I had rented for the weekend. My goal was to prove to myself that I didn't need it...that I did indeed love my prime lenses...and that this insanely huge and bulky lens was not a requirement for my camera bag. Unfortunately, that aspect of the morning didn't go as planned. I loved it. Like "love at first sight" eyes bulging, lip drooling, hand shaking LOVED that lens. Well poo. Now I have a serious dilemna.
I knew the lens would be great for group shots. But I certainly didn't expect it to take images up close and personal like this.
or to have the clarity like this...
And it was crystal clear from a distance as well....clean, sharp, vibrant. {insert large SIGH here}
NOW. If you live in the Kansas City area and are thinking "I'd love to have family pictures like this"...then I have some FUN NEWS just for YOU!!
