Family portraits are really important to us to capture. They can be hard to get everyone together, but they are a precious recording of our loved ones. I wanted to share Bonnie with her son Carter, I would like to think images like this will be cherished by Carter when he is older. He can see himself at two and just how much his mother adored him.
Taking portraits of babies can be challenging. Really challenging. When we photograph them we just go with the flow. Sometimes they are happy, sometimes they are mad and crying. You have to be patient to create what you want. I would have to say we could possibly drop dead if we had to shoot an 8 hour portrait session with some of these fast, but cute babies. I am working on editing a session today, with pretty little Josephine. All the pictures were really cute, but as a man I connected with these two frames of her with her Dad.
Angie and I recently had the opportunity to take my grandparents out and shoot a 60th anniversary session with them. We split up to take portraits of each of them. Kind of a challenge to see who could get the best portraits of them. We then came together and shot a mini engagement style shoot with them. I am working on the images today along with a few albums and wanted to share an image with you guys. Here is my grandfather a lifelong teacher with a doctorate in education.
This time of year we do a lot of family and children’s portraits. I wanted to share a few of Daniel that I really liked. He has a great smile and and really loves his family. I like to think that the subject has as much to do with the portrait as I do.
