Playing in the leaves

Now that there is a chill in the air it is easy to feel that fall is here. The weekend of this photo-shoot it was unseasonably warm, but it also made it easier to play in the leaves. We had fun with this shoot and is was really hard for me to not put all of my favorites in this post, there were so many!  Technically I shot two rolls so I did sneak a few more in than normal.

We started inside for a classic toddler shot on the window seat.  Mom had mentioned that she liked the shots with classic clothing, so I brought a few clothing options along for her to choose from.  I also brought my Hasselblad along to get some medium format shots. I am so glad I did because we got some great shots inside as well as outside. With a regular roll of film you have up to 36 exposures, the medium format only has up to 12 exposures and is a bit trickier to use since it is totally manual. I love the old school look and feel it gives.

With a change of clothing and scenery we let this little guy go.  He played in the leaves for a bit and then showed me how fast he could run. Then it was off to explore the rest of the yard with Mom and Dad. I wish I could have stayed and played, it was so nice out. Maybe next time!
