Currently, if I have free time during a weekend and the weather is nice, I often choose to go out to any one of the numerous picturesque nearby locales to do some wandering and photography. Part of me embraces this opportunity to explore and capture the world on my own. Meanwhile, the portrait photographer in me also wants to capture people in these settings. This is why I offer an open invite for a free mini portrait sessions during this time when I'm out doing photography during the weekend.
A couple weekends ago, Kelly and Thomas took me up on this offer for a mini session over at Illinois Beach State Park in Zion. I arrived about an hour before golden hour so I could do some hiking before their session. Then I headed over to the beach a little before our scheduled time and found a location I liked for their portrait shoot.
