Daron and Jaden - a father and son photoshoot:
Fatherhood is a special gift and it is always an amazing feeling when a photographer can capture some special moments with a father and his young son. In early April, I had the pleasure of taking a fun photoshoot with Daron and his son, Jaden, and I wanted to share my experience with you.
Initially, the photoshoot was intended to give Daron some updated headshots. When I heard that his son would also be there, it was also then a father/son experience in front of the camera. When I arrived at their Reisterstown home, Jaden was initially shy, and so we took our time chatting and getting to know each other as I was setting up my camera gear. Daron wanted some shots by the fireplace, so we played around with a variety of poses, and had both of them making some silly faces, which really lightened the mood and brought about a lot of laughs. One of my favorite photos of the day, at the beginning of the shoot, showed a tender moment between father and son. Once we went outside, it was so fun and amazing to watch Jaden setting up his own poses, seeing his own creativity and spontaneity on display, and he was very excited to provide suggestions on locations.
As we worked through the shoot, I was filled with a sense of joy and satisfaction, feeling that connection between father and son, and the fun they were having together. There is something truly special about seeing a young person light up with happiness and being able to share in those experiences.
Overall, the photoshoot was a wonderful experience. It was great to be able to capture precious moments and create something they will be able to cherish for years to come. There is nothing quite like the bond that fathers and sons share.
