A couple weeks ago it was Tulip Time Festival here in Holland, Michigan and part of Tulip time is the carnival! For a while now I have wanted to do a carnival session and I was finally able to make that wish happen. My husband and I are youth group leaders and so I reached out to a few of the youth group girls who I knew would be perfect for this shoot. I am so thankful that they were able to do this session with me!
The weather on the night that we did their carnival session was on the verge of rain the whole time but we were able to get it done before it really started to rain. The overcast sky was actually a best case scenario because we didn’t have to worry about working around the sun and it helped make the colors of the carnival stand out more.
There will be more carnivals and fairs coming to town this summer so if you, or someone you know, would like to set up a carnival session I would love to do something like this again! It makes for such a colorful and fun back drop. It would be fun for a family session, a senior session, or just a fun session with friends.
I hope you feel a lot of joy when looking through these images. I know I sure felt a lot of joy shooting them! There isn’t much better than a night filled with friends, cotton candy, a carnival, and icee’s. Enjoy!
