Their beautiful little girl was on a mission and it wasn't to take photographs. I snapped photos as she walked purposefully down the dirt path, pausing once in a while to reach back to her mother or father, making sure they were still following her on her journey. She had paths to explore. Spiders to search for in trees. Nature to appreciate.
She warmed up to the camera about thirty-five minutes into the session and was the perfect subject. I loved watching her snuggle with her mother and explore with her father. They threw rocks into the river, searched the water for canoes, and clearly loved spending family time together.
I loved photographing this family. It was so easy to capture their affection for one another. The sky may have been covered with clouds, but their photos were bright and happy with love.
