Sunday in the Park with Olivia

Posted on September 6, 2010 By Tom No Comments on Sunday in the Park with Olivia
Family, Photography

Monday is Chip’s birthday. Appropriately enough, he was born on Labor Day 34 years ago. To celebrate, several of us met at the Overlook Grill for a Sunday lunch. However, the day really belonged to little Olivia. Chip and Anna wanted a good photo for Oliva’s upcoming first birthday. Houston and I were happy to oblige, and began a photoshoot camera war in Falls Park.

The day was absolutely spectacular, and lots of people were taking advantage of the nice weather. We found a couple of good locations and started taking pictures.

We posed Olivia in flowers, in weeds, and on rocks. She seemed more than willing to pose for us, and didn’t mind all of the attention.

I, on the other hand, got distracted by some of the scenery.

I also enjoyed making fun of the paparazzi-like atmosphere that surrounded the activities. I began indulging in meta-photography – taking pictures of those taking pictures. I guess we could use these for the “Making of..” video.
