As we mentioned in an earlier Blog Post, last summer Crowe Photo volunteered to participate in a fund raiser for Rio Terrace Pre-School.  The Treasure Family was one of the families from the pre-school that took advantage of this fundraiser and had photos taken.  We were worried about the possibility of bad weather and we had the pre-school building as a backup location for us.  We were fortunate to have beautiful weather all weekend and were able to have all of the photoshoots outside in the playground.

I enjoy photographing kids in playgrounds because the kids usually enjoy themselves and forget that someone is there snapping photos of them.  It can be challenging though to get them to look at you though because there is often so much other stuff at the playground to keep their attention.

The Treasure Family has their hands full with four kids under the age of six including a set of twins but they still had a great time playing at Rio Terrace Park. We had a lot of fun shooting them as well.  I still remember their one boy was very proud to have styled his own hair that day.  I would describe the hairstyle as a ‘faux-hawk’ (which is awesome!) but when I mentioned that to him he corrected me and said that the hairstyle was actually a ‘Shark Fin’ (apparently Finding Nemo with Bruce the Shark is one of his favorite movies).
