The Blog

Wow. How did we not know this place existed before? The Solanos introduced us to a gorgeous neighborhood with magnificent esplanades lined with glorious oaks. While the trees and shadows provide a striking background, we never could have survived without our over-sized filter to neutralize the sun streaking through. Like this we managed to capture some lovely shots without wacky shadows on faces.

Here I applied a bit of filter to soften the shadows and play up the warm glow of the afternoon.

The Solanos brought along some awesome canvases to use as props to personalize their photos.

Personally, I love the pic of the toddler with the Sunshine canvas. This is also one of my favorites. He’s adorable, no?

But now here’s the real test. How do you get a toddler and dog to pose next to each other and both look towards the camera? Magic! (and a lot of high pitch noises and funny sounds).

Thank you Solano family for choosing Bouchet Images!
