Freelensing Strawberry ART Minis – Erica Mulford Photography, Raleigh Children’s Photographer

When I discovered freelensing earlier this year, I fell in love.  Finally, a way to break free from perfection, from tack-sharp images and perfect composition (or the ‘ugh’ from not achieving them).  I found a new way to capture my world that was interesting to look at, that pulled me in.  But, taking a million freelensed pictures of my own kids is just fine and dandy because they are for me, and me alone.  When I decided to offer these to clients, I knew that I would only get a few families (if I was lucky!) and that I would have to explain what they would be getting in their gallery three times to make sure they would not be disappointed with the outcome.  I decided strawberry picking would be the perfect setting; no posing, no direction, and very little interaction because I knew my little clients would be so distracted by picking and eating strawberries that they would hardly notice me.  I was nervous uploading the pictures, but when I saw the perfectly imperfect sessions before my eyes, all of my nerves melted away.  Here are a few shots of the three wonderful families that trusted me as an artist with something new and creative <3<3

 

This was my practice session with my own kiddos to make sure I could pull it off for my clients.  Please jump back to Facebook and let me know what you think!!  XOxo
