Telling A Story: Family Portraits In A Japanese Park

When my friend lost photos from her computer, she contacted me immediately. Although devastated, Erika saw it as the motivation she needed to have a family portrait session. We planned a session at the Japanese park, and as luck would have it, they just finished painting the structures in the park.

They were bright red, shiny and created a dramatic backdrop for the images. We also enjoyed a visit from a huge, white bird, which was the best prop for this park.
After walking through the park, we put a picnic blanket down on the grass and enjoyed taking some close-up photos. I loved seeing the connection with this family, their sense of fun and the love they share. It was such a pleasure to capture this family.
