Walter Jones Historical Park – Love, Enge Videography & Photography

1-Year Old Family Photoshoot at the Docks (Walter Jones Historical Park)

It was a hot day, and there were beads of sweat running down our faces, but we sat on a bench with our popsicles until the sun turned from white to gold. As we stepped out onto the docks, it was worth it!

Happy to capture this milestone for this young family and their smiley baby. Can you believe in almost every picture he had a wide mouth smile? It made things so easy for me. My favorite was when he would look at his parents and laugh. You could tell he was a big fan.

Until next time–see you at sunset!

Family Session – Walter Jones Historical Park

“This photo session is 14 years in the making,” Rose told me as we met on a drizzly January afternoon. She told me her husband has not taken professional family photos with her for 14 years, and today was the day that ended. I hoped to not disappoint. Rose’s mother and father were there as well, and they joked and brought out the best smiles from each other.

Walter Jones Park is an interesting historical park – full of old farmhouse buildings, old trees, and famous quirky frog sculptures dotting the area. It’s great to take pictures here because amid the aging structures, we celebrate timeless relationships:

Child Modeling Session – Walter Jones Historical Park

You know the dreams that you have where you are trying to get somewhere, and the more you walk, the further away from your goal you get? That’s how I felt trying to get to this location, because unfortunately, on the day of the shoot there was a huge marathon running on the road right in front of the park. Not to be daunted, I took a 45 minute detour/park/walk-far-away to get there because I would not be defeated by healthy people.

I’m glad Dana was able to get there too. We had a full-on modeling session with props and wardrobe changes. She’s the perfect age where she can be directed easily, she has lots of focus, but she’s not self conscious. Here is a sample of our day:

We took extra time to set up the headshot. Dana’s mom became expert in using the reflector board to light up Dana’s eyes. My favorite part about Dana is her dimples, visible even when she only smiles softly.
