Growing Families Mean Fab Photos!

It is always fun to take photos of familes, but when there's a baby involved, the fun is two-fold. Kids make such wonderful models, as their facial expressions are so entertaining and adorable. We had the pleasure of photographing the Miller family in July, which was a real treat. Their 5-month-old little girl was both amusing and cooperative, which made the session quick and effortless. Of course, we always love to shoot a few extra of the babies or kids on the side, giving parents a few extra quality photos of their ever-changing children.

The Millers have since moved out of the country, but before they left they posed for a series of family pics that relatives could have or purchase online. They were able to share the link to our secure website, and then grandparents accross the country had access to the photos. Perfect!

Family Photo Extravaganza!

Summer and autumn are great times to get outside and take a fabulous family photo! As soon as school starts, schedules will get hectic and kids will be busy...so think about getting everyone together (maybe even wearing some of those cool new school clothes?) and booking a photo session with us! Family photos are some of our favorite photos to do - they commemorate a very special time in a family's life - the present! Kids change and grow so quickly (as all of our senior photo and wedding "moms" tell us), so it's nice to have a professional, thoughful, carefully crafted photo that will preserve your childrens' image. Soon enough, you'll be booking us for senior and wedding photos; time goes fast!
The Wood family endured mosquitos (you gotta love photos by the river in August) in order to sit for a beautiful family photo by the Riverwalk. It was a perfect setting for an image of their growing family. The Riverwalk provided a perfect backdrop, and the family looked very handsome in matching denim and navy blue. This family was well-versed in family portrait etiquette! It always helps to dress in like colors: that way the focus is on the individuals' faces, not their clothing. (Senior photos are similar, but we oftentimes welcome different outfits, as fashion is a key element in expressing individuality and artistic tendencies.) We were honored to take their photo and hope to shoot many more in the future as their family expands.
