Emily at Five


Photograph © Robert Harris Photography

Emily is a very mature and beautiful five year old child. The setting was on the family's sprawling property just outside of Richmond. We chose an area by the lake on the far end of the property to create the portrait. It was a fitting location, however the lighting needed a little help to create modeling and depth on her face and curls. Light was added by using strobes and reflectors to help define Emily's features while retaining the rim of light around her hair and shoulders. Being a hot day, we had a conversation about her favorite ice cream. This raw image will now be enhanced and canvassed to 24"x30" before being framed and installed in her parent's new home. Happy Birthday, Emily...now....who's ready for ice cream!
