Katey & Hector’s Family Portraits at Quiet Water’s Park

Felipe had a sweet opportunity to capture some unforgettable memories for Katey, Hector, and their son at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis. If you’re not familiar, Quiet Waters is a sprawling park with tons of beautiful nooks and crannies to take photos, not to mention some truly amazing sweeping views. Most of the richest photo opportunities are just a short distance from one another. Even so, it’s still a big park and it might not be the best option for people with mobility concerns.

Katey and Hector’s family portrait session was a gift from a group of friends, as they hadn’t taken any photos since their son was born. Felipe spent most of their time in the terraced garden near the Blue Heron Center, which offered an excellent backdrop as the trees were turning yellow and orange. We made a special point to edit the photos to highlight these striking colors.

At first, Katey and Hector’s son was a bit shy around the camera, but he quickly warmed up as they played with him on benches throughout the park. One of our favorite photos from the session is of Katey chasing her son down a path, which came out looking like a shot from an old Charlie Chaplin film. It’s one of those sort of off-beat photos that you couldn’t plan, and some magic of the moment just brought it to life. There is a funny depiction of what it’s like to be the parents of a small child hidden in there.

They also had fun in the butterfly garden, playing with bubbles which the little one loved. As the session was coming to an end, Katey and Hector strapped their son into his car seat and had a few photos taken just the two of them–an opportunity new parents know is rare. I have to say, these photos turned out great, and are a testament to Felipe’s talent how good they look, even though they were in a parking lot and their car was just out of view.

A lot of parents have an impulse to expect their c A lot of parents have an impulse to expect their child to cooperate just because mom or dad said so. And, while debatably that might be reasonable for something like putting shoes back in their cubby or climbing into bed, a portrait session is different. 

For nice photos, the kid needs to *decide* to cooperate. It doesn't much matter if a kid grimaces through the rest of their broccoli, but if a kid grimaces through the portrait session, well grimace-portraits are what you're going to get. This is why I often whisper to the adults at the start of a session "Play it cool. You can pretend to be in charge, but you're really not. That kid has absolute power to hold these photos hostage."

This little girl was so stinkin' cute. She was feeling shy when we first got started, but warmed up before long. Every kid is different, and in this case, she needed to feel a sense of autonomy and control. Bossing her around made her feel uncomfortable, and made her clam up and cling to mom, but when she was involved and asked to "help" she brightened right up. She had lots of good ideas for pictures, and with a little technical help from yours truly, she gave us some really nice portraits and was more than willing to help me make some of mine, too.
