I love the Yoak family! We shared a summer-like day of playing at North Bend State Park for our first family session together. I think it was the perfect setting for some comfy family photos-lots of beautiful trees and just enough shade. John even brought his father's gorgeous antique truck for a few pictures, which I really loved in the background of the color washed pictures we did of the boys.
Leslie cracked me up the other day when she e-mailed me after seeing the image gallery and said: "You were right, we didn't seem stressed or chaotic at all :) Who Knew?!". It's always fun photographing a family, or anyone, for the first time. My style of shooting tends to be a bit relaxed, so often people think the pictures might not be turning out well as we're shooting, and I totally understand. Usually I'll let people see some of my favorite images as we go along, as not having lots of posing or structure to a photo session can be hard to wrap your head around at first. But I really think the natural pauses in between the "poses" are the best stuff. By the time we near the close of the session, there are no more worries left, and we really just have fun. I think Roman and Landon had a great time playing at the park with their parents. I know I did.
