Color or B/W?

Color or B/W? That’s not usually a question for me as I give my clients both versions of a picture BUT just for fun… let’s play color or b/w?

I love this family session! The leaves are this vibrant yellow and I am just in love with these colors. For me it was a no brainer… of course I like the color versions better. Who doesn’t love fall colors? Looking at the b/w pictures though makes me swoon too. The contrast is so beautiful and it just feels so timeless. It is almost as if the yellow was taking the attention of the subjects… like the yellows are the highlights of the pictures. But with the b/w versions, the little girl becomes the main subject again. Does that make sense? What do you think? Color or b/w? Or does it depend on the picture?

Which version would you hang in your living room? I can’t believe I am saying this but I would frame the black and white version!
