Portraits at SouthDowns Park // Leaf Dance Photography

This was a fun shoot- this park is within easy walking distance from our house, so my sister and I make frequent visits to it.
Back in the day we would spend an hour or two there, exploring shady hideaways, wading in the creek, and, uh, climbing all the climbable trees. ;D Lots of memories were made there...

Now we usually just take a walk through it, and it was on those relaxing walks that I began to see the park from a photographers perspective; the graceful arch of trees over there, the quaint bench under the lamppost, the thicket by the creek dappled with shade . . . all just waiting for a photographer and a photographee. . .

There were SO many hedge apples laying around! All just waiting to be juggled... ;)

Then yes, the camera switched hands for a bit- I became the "photographee", and my sister got to shoot me for a change! ;)

and she took seriously good pictures . . . 

I love this one

 I'm a Leaves and Converse kind of girl . . . ;)

and REALLY love this one. . . 

and this is my new favorite ever.

                                            See?  More leaves, and more converse . . . ;D

I LOVED this shady little thicket!

Hope you enjoyed these!  =D

More of Autumn & Some Portraits // Leaf Dance Photography

Things I love about Autumn this year:

The silence that wraps the trees like a blanket

Foggy mornings with bejeweled spiderwebs

Sunny, cheerful yellow flowers

Windy days that show you the silvery backside of the leaves

Each unique leaf

Leaves all aglow with sunlight from behind

A spiders trail as he climbed from leaf to leaf

Barberry bushes. <3

Discovering new colors of bugs. (!!!)

Falling leaves

&

Long, (very long) walks/photoshoot through the park with my sister ( a separate post with more of those coming soon!)

Through His Grace,
