Uno & S'mores | A Backyard Session in Chesapeake, VA

If I can be honest with you for a second, I have always hoped that this family would want me to photograph them at some point. I just love the dynamics of their little family and their kids are incredible. 
So, when it finally happened, I jumped at the chance. I did a little happy dance!

They started out playing a game of Uno in their sunroom that they love so much. It got a little rowdy and I can relate, our family gets really into games too! I love fast paced games like that. It's always fun to photograph. 
Then we went to the backyard to build a fire, watch the sunset, and eat some yummy s'mores.  I love when a family wants to do something a little non-traditional (obviously), but I also love the opportunity to shoot past the golden hour and into blue hour (really minutes, it fades quickly!) and beyond. 

As I was shooting these, I loved the silvery blue hue the light was giving. It was so overcast and so cold outside, the tones just reflected that perfectly.  I'm totally smitten with this whole set. 
I mean, come on, look at these girls!
