Christmas is a pretty magical time in Germany! Yesterday we went to the Sankt Wendel Christmas Market, (which is one of my favorites) so I thought I'd practice some more video and try to capture a bit of the magic of Christmas time and markets with kids. A little more challenging than I'd thought it'd be without my husband to keep track of my daughter while I focused on shooting! Luckily I have pretty awesome friends! If theirs a Christmas market near you, I definitely recommend going! And if you have kids, going during a weekday is especially nice because while you may miss the night and lights, it's less crowded and has a special magic all it's own.
The day couldn't have been more perfect. It was warm,
their was occasional sunshine (a big win in Germany during the fall)...
and this girl! She can light up a room with that smile and her beautiful
blue eyes!
I feel so honored when people ask and trust me to
document their families. It lights me up and gives me a little rush of
adrenaline capturing family bonds and relationships, especially when
they are as awesome as this family.
This location was an absolute dream. A windy path,
gorgeous rape seed fields, and orange light that sparkled and slowly settled like
fairy dust. You couldn't ask for a prettier backdrop or a more perfect day for a session.
It's always an honor (and truthfully a bit nerve racking) getting asked to photograph a fellow photographer's family. Especially when said photographer is so talented and down to earth! But it was an absolute treat getting to photograph Jenny and her adorable family.
