Its that time of year again... the kids are out of school and I'm pulling together all my resources to plan for the summer. THIS will be the year that we stick to a routine. THIS will be the summer that my kids read and practice math everyday. We'll have daily exercises and chores.
Oh who am I kidding?! We'll be lazy-ing it up on the couch watching three separate youTube channels all day everyday. There are 73 days of summer over here. That's 11 weeks. No teachers. No school. What on earth am I going to do with them?! Instead of fighting the screen time battle, I'm planning (plans get broken a lot around here, but we'll do our best, ha!) to introduce my kids to all the epic movies we early millennials grew up adoring. Here is our short list, keep in mind we've indoctrinated our children with Disney already ;) 1. Free Willy 2. Hook 3. The Secret Garden 4. Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey 5. Babe 6. My Girl 7. Space Jam 8. Matilda 9. An American Tail: Fievel Goes West 10. The Parent Trap 11. Little Giants 12. The Little Rascals 13. The Neverending Story 14. Stuart Little 15. The Indian in the Cupboard 16. 101 Dalmatians (live) 17. Beethoven 18. Honey I Shrunk the Kids 19. Dennis the Menace

I've had the privilege to photograph this family throughout the years, and our sessions together never disappoint! This time around, mom was dreaming about something light and airy, a more relaxed and lifestyle-esque session that would look beautiful on her walls for years to come. After a little consultation on outfits, and utilizing her impeccable decor, I think we nailed it! Welcome to the world, sweet little E!
For my photographer friends: I utilized two speedlites in this dimly-lit room to create a faux window camera left (with a large parabolic white umbrella) For a few that needed more fill light, an additional off-camera speedlite was pointed to the opposite (right) corner behind me. I wanted it to look like naturally-lit film, so I bumped my ISO to 640 for a little grain and to bring in the small existing window light from camera right. |
