My engagement session turned into a family portrait session (due to a sick fiance). These boys are seven and two. We were on the Discovery Trail in west Vancouver, Washington. It was quite the chilly morning but the lighting was just perfect. Overcast days make for such beautiful portraits.

The boys seems not to notice the chill, and were thrilled to be outdoors. We ran, played and got dirty. I always come home from child photography sessions covered in a little mud. (I used to go caving so I certainly don’t mind a bit of mud.) The boys energy was amazing, and their mom, Jenni kept right up with them. I tried to capture the spirit of the outing in the portraits.
