Sometimes photography and life do not get along. After many weeks of unpacking and settling into a new life on the right coast, I found I was spending less and less time shooting. Which is contradictory to the reason we relocated. Although I was doing a lot of work for my photography and art production, like putting together what I consider a dream home office and designing print materials, I wasn’t actually getting behind the lens. So on Friday I got to spend the morning with August. I decided to combine our play time outside with a photo shoot. It was really important for me though, that play time was the priority not the photos, So I went into a semi-photojournalistic mode. I made sure I wasn’t out there posing August, I was just documenting our morning. Many times I put down the camera and jumped into the fun. The session was a success for both of us, August had a great morning on a beautiful autumn morning and Dad broke his photographic dry spell.
