Run! | Corolla, North Carolina
I spent Saturday out on the Outer Banks doing some family portrait sessions on the beach. It was my first visit out there and man, is it beautiful! After the shoots I had a little time to visit the Wright Brothers Memorial at Kitty Hawk, a site that’s been on my ‘must visit’ list since I was a kid. Can’t wait to go back!
On the beach at Corolla, I ended up shooting seven families. My wife, Ashley, came along to help pose them and I am forever grateful that she did. Posing is definitely my weakness and she noticed a lot of things I would have never seen until I was back home and processing. We were setting up to shoot this little guy’s family, but as soon as Ashley turned around, he bolted! Now no matter your age, you remember the absolute torture that family portrait day was as a kid! I’ve gotta give it to this guy, he saw his opportunity and he took it. Even though this is just a candid shot I took white on my knees in the sand pointing the opposite direction, it turned out to be one of my favorites of the day. I love the look of joy on his face as he runs for freedom, knowing that he finally outsmarted us all!
The shot: Nikon D90, 70-300mm VR lens; f/4.5, ISO-100, 200mm
