Four is a great age for film. Old enough to have a full personality, young enough to completely forget you are there. He ran the whole session and we just followed him. That is always the job with kids this age and it is the best job there is because what comes out the other side is a real document of exactly who he is right now at this exact moment in his life. That kid will not be four again and these frames are the proof that he was.
The backyard gave us everything we needed. Familiar light, familiar ground, and a family that relaxed the moment they stepped outside into their own space. That ease shows up on film. You cannot fake it and you cannot manufacture it anywhere else. It only happens at home.
If you are a Dallas or DFW family who wants a Family Hour session on analog film in your own backyard, Front Gate Photo and Film would love to come to you. We shoot in home and backyard film family sessions across Dallas, Fort Worth, and all of DFW. Book your session today before he turns five.
