Klopta Family Session at Ford Nature Center in Mill Creek Park in Youngstown, Ohio
Since the wedding haze of September hasn't really hit me yet, I figured I'd sneak in a blog or two on some sessions other than brides and grooms :P This session with Melissa and T.J. was in June for the kiddos birthdays (anyone else a June baby? I am, too!). I've photographed these guys quite a few times now, and Harper and Zander sure know how to keep me on my toes in the best way possible. Our first session involved matching Batman and Robin capes, our second was a light saber sword fight, our third involved some good ole' fashioned Cleveland Browns gear and our latest one, T.J. not so sneakily tied in some wine and gold colored clothes because they're big Cavs fans like I am. Needless to say, I appreciated the outfit choices :P
We met at Ford Nature Center and took advantage of the beautiful light and cool paths through the woods. These two are always acting silly, Zander especially, so it has been really cool seeing their personalities grow over the past few years. Whenever I see Harper, he's always a little shy at first but definitely flips the switch quickly to become a goofy little flirt. Zander on the other hand is on high speed from the first second I see him. I jokingly call him a human wrecking ball, though I'm only 50% joking when I say it. As he gets older, I'm seeing more of his goofiness with the things he says. He definitely takes his older brother's lead when it comes to acting silly. Their personalities definitely shine through in these images. Enjoy!
