The Gallant Family

Yesterday I had pictures in Grand Bay-Westfield at Unity Park with the Gallant family. I have never been at that park before and I must say it was a beautiful small park. They have a huge Gazebo, Trees and large rocks. A Very nice place.

We started off at the Gazebo and had some fun there. We also went to some Train Tracks which was fantastic. I have always wanted to shoot at Train tracks and I finally did. Once we were done at the train tracks I took them to the brook that was behind a house.

The yard that we walked through was the house of one of my good friends growing up. I hadn’t seen it is 17 years. The only issue was walking down to the Brook. I didn’t even notice until they were sticking into my flesh and that was Thorns!! Lots of them. So we plowed through and made it to the brook. With stinging Bleeding legs I captured what I wanted to and then we were finally done.

Overall the kids did fantastic. They were good from the get go. Here are some samples.

 I know allot of parents want that perfect smile from their kids and that's fine. But there are sometimes that the serious natural looks are the best and with these kids I was all about it. They look great.

 Caleb is a very photogenic. The fallish trees in the background really compliments the style that I added to this picture.

 I really like this Gazebo. Very nice!!!

I really like this picture. His expression is very serious. I was lying down on the train tracks to capture some of these hehe.

 Also lying down on the Gazebo. If they are going to get dirty I might as well too.

 The colours that she was wearing really stands out from the picture.

 One of my Fav pics of the group. She has really bright Blue eyes so I couldn't help but turn the picture B&W, tone down the Clarity and bring out the color of her eyes.

I captured several of these fun pictures. again I am not one to have that Perfect shot setup. I want people to be as natural as can be for most of the pictures.

 Diane had tons of ideas that she found on the internet and this was one of them. I love this picture. Larger format this picture looks excellent.

Jacob, the oldest of the three. He is also very photogenic. 

Thank you to the Gallant family for allowing me to capture your family through photography. I had a great time and the kids did excellent. 

Well for me It's looking like this weekend is clear so I get to relax some with my fam. My wife and I are starting the creative side of photography and we are starting to gather resources. I am excited with some of the Ideas that I have and I just need some Brave souls that are willing to brave my Shenanigans.

Well thanks for looking at the world through my eyes!!
