I photographed a portrait session for Lauren and her daughter a few days ago when it was about 25F degrees outside. My wife Jackie made some beautiful birth and family portraits for them last year, but she is taking a break from photography and referred the client to me. We started as the sun was setting, but in conjunction with nap time, it wasn’t ideal timing for her daughter, Austin, but we forged ahead. We met at the Lilydale Yacht club at the bottom of a steep hill. My plan was to make the photographs in the beautiful woods and bike path nearby. Once we got to the intended location, I realized the light was harsh, so I suggested Harriet Island, two miles toward downtown on the Mississippi River. We worked in short bursts, stopping to warm up in the car. I’m extremely pleased with the results, and so was Lauren, and grateful to my wife, Jackie, for the referral.
