The Pearson family came to me under the most ideal circumstances–they received a glowing recommendation from a close friend, who has been my client for a little while now. That is the best. The Pearsons had reviewed my website and seen a number of my images framed in their friend’s home, so when I show up, they already know what to expect. They have a few outfits picked out for their handsome boy to wear and are up for whatever I want to do. I love that freedom. I rarely go into a client’s home with any kind of a plan in mind. I prefer it that way. I just respond to their home environment and make a plan on the spot. That way, every family portrait client receives a collection of images that specifically relates to who they are as a family, in the style of what they have seen on my website.

The Pearsons have a beautiful backyard, large and grassy with the perfect frolicking accessory, their adorable lab. We planned our child portrait for first thing in the morning, so we could have Riley out in the grass in the soft light. When it was time for a wardrobe change, we wrapped the session with a few portraits in Riley’s nursery. Enjoy!
