Mark and Mariana wanted summer photos of their family so we collectively decided to have their session at Donauinsel. It was a rather warm day on the day of their session so we took frequent breaks in the shade or in the water so that no one got overheated. I found that this helped the kids a lot, especially when it came to taking some dips into the cool Danube water. They couldn't resist enjoying themselves once they got in there and I couldn't resist photographing their happiness. When my clients are having fun it makes for a fun session for all parties involved. And that's one of the things I love about this session; they're having fun. Not to mention the lively colors! Just looking at the colors in these shots makes me miss summer! Maybe not the heat though...
The Lichtenfelds moved from Chicago, Illinois to Austria after Alexandra got a job at an international school here in Vienna. And from the conversation we had, they have been loving it ever since their arrival. Kai, who is five years old, has settled into a kindergarten here and is just a rambunctious bundle of fun! We had fun running around and watching him do cartwheels (brace yourself Olympics of 2028, he's gonna take you by storm!)
