The Robinson Family | Lancaster, SC Session

I recently had the opportunity to work with the Robinson family in Lancaster, SC.  Daughter, Adrienne, and I attended Lancaster High School at the same time and I had the chance to work with her immediate family on two portrait sessions, but this one was a little different.  When Adrienne contacted me she indicated that her father’s birthday was coming up and she wanted a lifestyle session specifically of him and his grandchildren.  She explained to me that he adored his grandkids and they adored him and whenever they’d visit one another he would play trucks with grandson, Caden and have a tea party with granddaughter Logan so we had to incorporate that into the session.

 

 

 

 

 

Our original plan for their session was to do it at a nearby park in Rock Hill, SC as the sun set, but as the day went on dark clouds rolled in and a heavy thunderstorm hit.  Normally I would reschedule for an alternate date, but Adrienne and I had already worked up a backup plan to shoot in her parent’s home should the weather not work out and since this was a surprise session for her dad we definitely did not want to reschedule.  As I pulled up to their beautiful home the clouds parted and sun began to shine a beautiful golden hue.  It’s almost as if Mother Nature knew we needed the perfect light for this session.

We started out in their sunroom as the boys played and showed their trucks off.  It was so fun for me to see them interact with one another.  We then moved the party outdoors where all three of them had a tea party led by little miss Logan.  The session ended with a walk through the damp woods as the sun rays fell upon us and Mrs. Robinson got in on some of the action.  I truly enjoyed meeting Adrienne’s extended family and working with them.  I hope these will be memories that they will cherish for many years to come.
