Cantando Family Outdoor Shoot

Okay things have been busy for a while but it is finally starting to slow down just enough for me to finally get some blogging done.

One of the shoots from November turned out some incredible outdoor pictures. The Cantando Family, which was a gorgeous family that consisted of a beautiful couple with their handsome young sons, wanted to get their yearly family portraits done. They requested a lot of candid shot as well as some posed shots in an outdoor setting. They also wanted several in black and white to mix it up.

So I took them to a gorgeous field across the street (owned by Mr & Mrs Norbeck) that boasted an incredible view and a lot of open space for the family to stroll and the children to play. And as a huge bonus, there was old and rustic farm equipment parked around the field that just BEGGED to be photographed. So of course I obliged.

Here are just a few of my favorite shots of the lovely family.

Since it was close to Christmas I added a few poinsettias on the side as a subtle holiday touch.

The kids were adorable and they did so well.
