LUNDE FAMILY- FRONT PORCH SESSION- AURORA IL

I photographed this sweet session, and I wasn't sure what to expect. Being confined to a single space is new to me. Also I wasn't sure how I would accomodate the social distancing and how it would influence my shooting style. I am happy to say that I can manage. I have added some tigher crops in post for a little variation that I love, and maintaining my favorite wide angle shoots. I guess if you're not a photographer this all means nothing to you. haha, All of this to say, I loved it.
