Sunday I had the pleasure of meeting Simon along with his parents Alyson & John. They wanted to do the session at their new home in Woodbridge and it was a great idea! The had the coolest fireplace ever. I have never seen a fireplace that was kinda-sorta all open on what would normally be the "front" and the "rear" of it - it was totally unique (at least to me) and their little Simon loved it to.
When I arrived and was checking my lighting and such I was able to grab this super awesome shot of Simon looking through the fence off of their back deck. He was sporting a totally adorable little fisherman type-o-hat!
After a while Simon just started doing his own thing, here he is just snooping along the ground between the tree branches.
One of the many fireplace shots - not too much soot at this point, but isn't this the coolest fireplace!! One side leads to the dining area and the other to the living room area.
Nope, he wasn't eating chocolate cupcakes, he was just full of soot!
Adorable little shot outside after he removed his little hat!
It was really tough to get the light right on a couple of these, but I managed to bounce it off of the side wall, the ceilings were dark wood plank'ish and obviously that wasn't going to work.
I was getting a close up shot of Simon on his back porch area and he started walking backwards and ka-plunk fell right into this bob-for-apples-type-o-bucket and I couldn't help but giggle and just kept on shooting.
Something about this image reminds me of an old Rockwell painting, just the look on his face, I am seriously considering throwing some Lucis Art on this and perhaps give it a painterly look.
Close up shot of Simon.
After he fell in the bucket, I think he decided it would be safer to just sit in it for a while!
I was really digging the look on Simon's face here.
It was great meeting you Simon, Alyson and John. Look forward to seeing this little guy grow up!
