Salem Family Photographer - mixing it up, downtown

I’ve been photographing this family (friends of ours) for years and we’ve always done their photos at a park or somewhere outdoorsy. This year (well, last year, as this was actually their 2018 session, lol) they opted for one of my urban session locations, where my studio is located. Jenn took the muted colors of the location as her opportunity to incorporate more color than she usually does, with their outfits. Now, had this been against the yellow and oranges of fall foliage, it would have been too much, but downtown it’s just great! Hopefully I will get around to posting their 2019 session, which includes their oldest who happened to be home on winter break (he graduated high school a few years ago).

Salem Family Photographer - mini family session, urban style

Michiko, who was one of my very first clients, is now one of my really good friends and photo assistant! I’ve been photographing her little family, since her youngest was in preschool (she’s is high school now) and we have fun every year. These photos are actually from their 2018 family session…because I’m that far behind on blogging. I will be posting their 2019 session soon, though, so be on the lookout!
