Outdoor Black and White Family Portraits

This is a beautiful location, and I have photographed my fair share of families and senior portraits here. Prior to this family portrait session, we had a lot of rain. In fact, this was about two weeks after the Colorado floods – so all of the colors were bold and saturated. The grass was lush and green, and the sky was super blue and partially concealed by the broken, abstract cloud cover that gave it so much drama.So, why black and white family portraits instead of color in such a beautiful outdoor setting?

Football Portraits in Erie Colorado

In my book, anything worth doing is worth overdoing.

This series of football portraits was originally designed to be a Mini Session. Mini sessions are meant to be 20 to 30 minutes long and produce about 15 to 20 images, well… we blew that right out of the water. We were having such a great time that nearly 2 hours went by before we noticed! We also wound up producing a few more than 15 to 20 images.

This collection of Football Portraits was a lot of fun to make!

Photographing these Mini Sports Sessions has turned out to be a great little project for me. I have a lot of fun, but, most of all, the kids have a blast! It’s their chance to be treated and photographed like superstars.
