Could You Please Smile?
This was a difficult session. As you'll see in the photographs, it was a challenge to get these guys to smile and have fun. So stuffy. :) Obviously, I am so joking. They were great.
The difficulty wasn't them. Let's see. We had to postpone this session a few weeks ago because of 30 mph onshore winds. So this time Hurricane Sandy has just passed us. I picked the location because it is generally not busy. So I arrived early to scope the area only to find that Sandy had caused severe erosion. There was almost no beach. There was maybe 3 feet of sand in front of some of the dunes before the drop off. And oh yeah there was a huge wedding, and oh yeah another photographer was with a client. Not ideal but we worked with it. And at least the wind died off so that I was able to set up strobes and an umbrella.
I think we got some great results. It's hard to go wrong with such a fun family. Laughing and smiling translates well in photographs.
