I haven’t posted a photo from my 52 Week Project in a while. The theme last week was “Nature”, and since the little cherry tree in my front yard was just blooming it was perfect! They only bloom for about a week every year, but I love these pink blossoms.
I love to work with sunlight when taking photographs. Your light really is the key to great pictures, which is why the majority of my sessions take place during the “golden hour” – the last two hours before sunset. During this time the light is soft and really flattering, and you don’t have to worry about harsh shadows and squinty eyes.
That being said, it is not the ONLY time I shoot. I also like overcast days! Now you may be thinking, “Wait a minute, you just said light was important.” Overcast days can give you some really great light. The reason? Those big, fluffy clouds in the sky! When it’s overcast, I don’t have to worry about what time of day it is – which is why this session with my soon took place at noon. All that heavy cloud coverage softens the sun and really helps colors to pop in your pictures.
I’ve been wanting to do a fun, rainy day shoot with my son for a while now, and this rainy day was perfect. Even if it was a bit chilly!
Now that it looks like Spring is almost here, don’t forget to book your Spring/Summer family sessions! I’ve got a lot of fun ideas for sessions for this year. Let’s get in touch and we can discuss what works for your family.

I’ve almost wrapped up blogging all my fall sessions, and here is another for you to enjoy! I was excited when this family decided to go with a more urban scene, which led us downtown to explore what the area had to offer. We weren’t disappointed with all the cool places we found, and little Logan was a natural in front of the camera. Watch out girls!
It’s not too early to start thinking about booking your Spring/Summer sessions, so get in touch early to reserve your date. I’ve got some fun and exciting things planned this year for Amber Potter Photography!

I’ve had the privilege of working with some gorgeous families this past year, and this family session was no exception! Mom and Dad were so fun and relaxed, and the kids were little pro’s. I was sad to see the session end, and picking my favorites was even harder. Thanks so much Jamie, Jeremy, Nealie and Jack, for letting me work with you as your photographer. I can’t wait until next time!
