Afternoon in the Retro Park


One of my favorite locations is a park that is totally retro. Think back...circa 1970's metal slide, "merry go round" (or as I told my fun family from yesterday's session--a sort of lazy susan with rails), see saws, etc.. The other great thing about this location is the huge tires that are sunken into the ground that kids seem to just fall in love with and the forest that is right there at that same very location.

I've done a couple of sessions here and every time I go to this location I think I manage to capture a different view. Yesterday's session was the perfect picture taking situation, sans the rain that kept threatening our session. We managed to stay dry and capture some amazing images of a beautiful family.

Meet the Jacksons, sans their dog (the most adorable collie mix I think I ever met). I've had a run of great dogs lately, yes you read that right, dogs. And big dogs no less. So well behaved, they really put my pooches to shame!! Hehe.

The park was awesome, you are right. What a great location! It was very old-school and very cool.

Thanks for being so easy-going; you made a nice yin to my yang. It was a cinch to relax once we got to the site and started playing.

Your blog and website are AWESOME! I continue to be impressed by the Marmalade Product you put out. Your eye for color and light are amazing, and I love how you capture real expressions and emotion in your shots.

Thanks for posting the sneak peek photo. It's like an appetizer--it makes me hungry for more! I can't wait to see the rest! I hope you don't wear your Photoshopping tools out!

Thanks again for a lovely day. We had a lot of fun!
