A Day In The Park

I just completed this lovely family portrait. Each family that I work with is very unique and has very different ideas about how they would like to see themselves portrayed. In this particular case the children were the main focus. My clients wanted the activities that interest their kids to be the main story being told. In our interview I had my client discuss activities that their family enjoys doing together. She listed many things, but in the end we came up with summer activities in Minnesota, which include barbeque and picnics at the lake. There were also a few details relating to my clients Lebanese and Croatian heritage that she wanted included such as the houses with the little red roofs and the food that they enjoy eating. The children enjoy wearing their swimsuits,playing dress up and and pointing out butterflies and birds, while the father loves Nascar. I added as many details that worked in the composition and the image posted above is what we came up with!
