{Fun With Backlighting} My Boys

This session is long overdue, but this Spring has been a whirlwind of activities! Between my birthday, Easter, festival planning, a wedding, and First Communion, and random thundershowers, there was very little time for me to take my babies out for their spring pictures. I started brainstorming what I wanted during the dreary winter months while doing my daily blog surfing. I was inspired by a few "sunset sessions" and knew I wanted to try some backlighting techniques. So finally, I packed up the boys and a few props, and off we went to a random field near my parent's house. The grass was super high and I was afraid they might object, but to my delight, their eyes lit up as they began scouring the land for bugs and sticks. They did, however, refuse my request to go barefoot. I had pictured bare toes running through the field, but alas, I settled for stocking feet instead- and happy kiddos! 


Little guy is on an apple kick right now, so I thought what better way to keep him happy with a prop!
