nothing in the world is sweeter than a summer night in Maine. a yellow-red magic marker sky, air heavy as if it is carrying pockets of water, and staying out past your bedtime because your parents are on the back deck talking and having a good time too…you just might be lucky enough that they forget all together and you and your dirty feet will get to crawl into the clean, crisp, line-hung sheets smelling like the sun and tall grass you played in all day. that is how i felt going out to shoot this session with Ava and Ben…an incredibly hot evening, with a light breeze for intermittent relief…but also one filled with adventure and fun, and where all things found are amazing and new.

i always try to tell clients about the BEST time to shoot during the day. this twilight time is by fair the best and provides a softness and a rich depth of color. however, i know that not all kiddos are up for an evening session. some little ones are just in better spirits in the morning. if your kids can make it into the later part of the day though, it does produce amazing warm photographs.
