Life isn’t always black and white, but 71% of the pictures hanging in my home are (and I counted and did the calculation…I didn’t just make that number up). Honestly, I thought that I’d have more, but it’s safe to say that I love black and white photography.
It could be that nostalgia feeling black and white photos have. Or that the expression, a certain detail or feature takes center stage. Or the simple fact that I don’t have to worry about colors or outfits matching in a portrait (and that is probably the truth. When my girls started dressing themselves and not giving a care about how they should maybe coordinate with each other, I turned everything b&w….and I’m not mad about it.).
This winter I offered b&w personality portrait mini sessions because I love b&w and hoped others would too. They were perfect for moms who wanted updated portraits of their little ones…or teenagers! Some added a winter accessory for winter pictures. A few wanted to capture a milestone…such as birthday portraits or the cuteness of missing two front teeth! Kids wore whatever they wanted and had the time to be silly or serious and everything in between. Because of the casualness, it was low pressure and the results made the mamas send me heart emojis saying that they loooooved them!
