Daniels Family (preview #1)

I've had clients ask me, "Why did you take this shot." Maybe they don't know what to do with it or they think they are missing something because to them it looks like junk and I obviously thought it was nice and put it in their album. I try to explain what caught my attention and made me take the photo. I encourage them not to think to hard because a photo doesn't have to be logical. Maybe they see beauty in the photo, maybe they don't. What can I say, I try to shoot for myself as much as I shoot for the client.
So I met this family at the canal downtown this morning. We walked down the bridge to find a tractor that has been removed. We turned around to go back and find some shade since the sun was already beginning to show us how intense it was going to get. I grabbed a few shots on our way which just made my day. Now I wish I would have stopped and done some more posing...but maybe the casualness is critical for their beauty.
Daniels family...don't worry. If you don't find beauty in these suckers, I have a lot more from our session. I just had to throw these up here for myself.
