Harlan Family Portraits

I met the Harlan Family in the midst of a very cold spell, downtown in the Roswell Square. Their clever attire really impacted how these images came out: they stuck to the basics and choose solid, bright, bold colors... the result gave me the ability to really play with the colors and make imagery that is fun and playful. By bringing such lively colors into what could have been a drab winter environment, we created imagery that was so appropriate for the Harlans. By choosing one color to remain consistent throughout the group (denim blue) they all matched each other, regardless of which smaller group we created. Also, scarves are timeless and a fun way to add a bit of texture, color and personality. By shooting 2 hours before the sunsets, I use the natural light of dusk and long shadows to strength the compositions.
