Well, I have quite a few images from this session sitting in Lightroom
waiting to be processed, so thought it was time to use one for this week's black and white Wednesday.
This was taken 4 months ago in late November, we had a day where the sun was shining brightly and it got up into the 70's. I figured it was probably my last shot at getting an outdoor photo session before Winter arrived. If you know me I have this love of fields and train tracks to take my kids out on.
Besides being a huge fan of all the natural textures at those types of locations, I love to use leading lines in some of my pictures.

This was shot as the sun was low in the sky, when the light is golden in color. I think the main reason this image is one of my favorites is because I love how Grace is playing on the tracks, balancing as she walks along carefully, with a natural, sweet expression on her face. You can easily tell she was having fun. The picture has an ageless quality with her dress and bare feet. To me it could have been taken in the 1920's.Grace looks like a little flapper to me.
(The black and white was processed using Chasing Dream's 'Amazing Grace' action.)
Please check out more black and whites at The Long Road to China. And Happy Wednesday!

Wow! I love it.
Beautifully breathtaking!
Lovely- cannot imagine if someone were to ask you to pick just one favorite photo- they are all spectacular.
When I first looked at them I didn't read your writing yet and said to myself aww she looks like a little flapper girl. Then I read your writing, you where thinking the same thing. I really like them. She looks so cute.
LOVE this!! I adore train tracks and I agree the 1920s feel is just exquisite.
Blog looks beautiful! You are one classy lady Gail!
Happy Wednesday!
Love,
Heather
Beautiful!! I can see why that's a favorite! She looks adorable!
Though, my Dad, a retired railroad engineer, would not be happy about someone walking on the train tracks! ;)
Janet
I have a love for railroad track photos too! I adore the barefoot feet and the flower in her hair. She looks so natural and carefree. Great capture!
Gail~Not that I'm bragging but I think I "wrote" in my mind EXACTLY what you wrote about Grace. It was incredible and I think that must mean you are spot on about the timeless quality, the 1920s feel, etc. These photographs are incredible.
I'm so excited for you and your venture and I'm sure you'll make many a mommy proud with the way you capture their beauties.
Love~
