women, breastfeeding and photography

Nine A.M. on May 6th 2007 at the Mall. It was a little chilly but that warm glowing Sun made everything just perfect. These were shot around the Capital building.

An interesting note about this shoot: There happened to be a marathon scheduled to run through downtown that day. (isn’t there always?) So, the family made it to the shoot just in time. It was cutting it so close that they had to run across the road right in front of the first runners.

This is from a family shoot in Arlington Virginia on May 5th 2007. The weather was cooperating, mostly. The outside shots were captured between raindrops. This was one of those times when the kids were just not really down with having there pictures taken. Not a problem. We just spent a little extra time and it all turned out great!

Most of the pictures Koren takes are shot using natural light. This insures a natural feeling and helps her subjects stay relaxed.

Over the next several posts I will revisit our last trip to Washington, D.C. last spring.

So, lets get started with a beautiful sunny day in Cabin John, Maryland on May 5th 2007. You can feel the Sun and the Love!

Some of you may not know that Koren has been capturing captivating moments like these in the homes of families for more than ten years.

When she first started out she had to educate her clients on her innovative style. So she came up with the phrase “fast-food photography” to describe the then standard get ‘em in get ‘em out mentality of studio photography that everyone had taken for granted for so long. In contrast, she showed them what a few hours of patience and immersing herself in the kids environment could do.

Ten years later, her work is more captivating than ever and her creativity seems boundless.
