When I was trying to think of a good blog post title for this session, I just thought of the one word I would use to describe this family. And, I easily came up with “happy”. What a nice, sweet family. We had a fun session at Leu Gardens last week. Mom did an AWESOME job with outfits (as you can see some of them here). I think this session is a great example of how KarenLeslie Photography provides “custom” photography for your family. Mom and I worked through outfit choices, types of photos, etc. so that she could have a session of photos that <i>she</i> wanted. She wanted a mix of the more “traditional” family poses, along with some lifestyle images. The ones I picked for this blog post are a great example of that.

I found the most fantastic bubble machine at Target (look for the new Cynthia Rowley summer line). It produced so many fantastic bubbles!

One of my favorite spots to shoot at Leu Gardens is under the giant oak tree. It doesn’t matter what time of day it is … there is always some fantastic light — and you can’t beat the drippy spanish moss in the background!

Something a little more traditional and posed, but still very much them!

This one made me smile.

And something a little more contemporary to show off the great outfits that mom brought along.
