Would you guess that these images came from a beach session? Well, they did!!
This lovely family was referred to me by some wonderful clients I have photographed for a few years now. They were visiting Maine this past weekend from NY and wanted to have some family portraits created on the beach. Upon meeting at my favorite Maine beach, it was evident that the sun was a bit bright for the images I wanted to create. Soooooo.....when life gives you lemons.....(not that I consider a sunny evening in August in Maine a lemon!) Make lemonade!
I found a GORGEOUS spot near the parking area. It was a lovely wooded area and had STUNNING light. If you are a loyal blog reader, you know my motto....great light first, then background. Ultimately, a portrait it about its subjects. If there isn't good light on the subjects, you don't have much of a portrait. So, I look for the best light and then work to create a great portrait without any distracting backgrounds.
This setting was PERFECT! Can you see the incredible catch lights in the girls' eyes? Beautiful! This family was so much fun to work with. The sisters are incredibly photogenic and I loved bringing out their sunny personalities!! Thank you for choosing Joanne Lee Photography to create your family portraits!
And by the way....we did get out on the beach after these pictures!
