Samantha has traveled to New Mexico several times during the last several years. Her in-laws lived at the edge of a canyon overlooking the Rio Grande with national forest on the other side. The views are stunning, even in mountainous deserts aren’t your thing.
Mother nature shares such beautiful wonders with us. This family decided to take their photos at the neighborhood golf course. What a great area it turned out to be! Throw in kids and leaves, and you can’t miss.
Samantha’s travels recently brought her to the Austin, TX area. While there, she was able to explore McKinney Falls State Park. She found beautiful old trees covered in ball moss, an ancient rock shelter, and water features running low during the winter.
Home is such a dear spot. What a great place to get photos of your family! It also shows great trust to be invited to someone’s home. As always, we love seeing the dynamic of the family as the shoot progresses.
We love having families that choose us every year for their family photos. We are so grateful for you! It’s fun to let the kids explore a little bit and feel at ease during the shoot. You end up with some cute candids, too.
If your family includes pets, let them come along on the fun. Obviously, some pets are easier to bring along on shoots than others. This family was a joy to shoot at Faust Park. Their dog did really well in the photos, too. When booking a family session, we can also get shots of just the kids, or just the parents.
We’ve also done work where we photograph products for clients. That means we also like to practice product photography on our travels. Here are some of Samantha’s photos of *things.* Some were for businesses, and some were to practice to craft.
We love shooting at Queeny Park because there are so many good backgrounds. This family went for a walk with us to a few of those locations. Also, don’t forget that your cold weather accessories can be worn in the photos! They’re a great pop of color, and help keep you warm.
This family took advantage of all the beautiful spots in Longview Park. It was really kind of the horse to cooperate, too! Early fall doesn’t have quite the same punch of color from the leaves, but you still get color from the flowers.
It’s that time of year when we all wish it was a little warmer. Even better, we wish we were at the water! Here are some more of Samantha’s travel shots with water features from Michigan to Mexico and places in between!
