The “H” family from Colorado and Miami
By darren | April 22, 2008
What a beautiful shoot we had on the beach on Sand Key on Sunday Night! Spectacular weather topped off by an absolutely gorgeous sunset. The “H” family was beautifully color coordinated and ready to go. I always anticipate the worst and work up from there when you have a family shoot involving infants. Don’t get me wrong, it all goes to state of mind. You can’t possibly expect the little ones to have a clue what you’re up to and if it is new for them it could be scary. My fears were put to rest when I saw the twins sitting there in the stroller before hitting the beach, I knew they were gonna be fine. Not the typical finicky infants by no means. Not that if they were it would be all bad. The two older children, Tanner & Taryn were super well behaved and smiled effortlessly throughout the shoot, just what a photographer hopes for.
I can say I was a little off my game as my normal shooting local is Howard Park and it offers much more in the way of props for shooting against, so without as much to work with, it caused me to pause during this shoot. But I did get set up for the big shoot and all went well………almost. I was already to shoot the family in front of the sunset when, two dolphin watching boats were chasing dolphin just off the beach, directly in my camera’s field of view. Not enough stress trying to shoot as the sun is going down, but to have boats in the backdrops was about to push me over the edge. Luckily I had the presence of mind to set the group of for photos and in the mean time hope the boats would move off, and they did. Wheeew!
Tanner & Taryn were so good, quiet and well behaved through the whole shoot, I sure to hope they enjoy their time in Florida!
Working on the images now, should have them up by Friday evening. Thank you for choosing Darren K. Osgood Photography to create your family portraits. Hope y’all have a great stay here in Florida.
