Fall Family Photos




For the past three years, I have offered special half price photo sessions called Fall Family Photos. Not a very catchy name but it fits. Families come to some gorgeous outdoor locations and for 1/2 hour we play and laugh and get some really good pictures. I usually start out with the more formal looking poses with the whole family smiling at the camera. These seem to be the most popular pose to send out on the family Christmas card. Then as time allows, we get more casual with the shoot and that's when the real character comes out, especially in the children. But I wish I had a photo of the craziness that some of the parents display to get the kids to laugh.


What a hoot.


These photos are from the first shoot of the day with Georgi, Robie, Jake and their parents. Gretchen and Michael. I met this family about a year ago and photographed them as a family and then was invited to make images and memories of the boys and their sister on Jake and Robie's first birthday. Now they are two and we combined some photos of the whole family with some that will capture what they were like around their second birthday. It was so much fun!! They are full of personality and really were sports about getting their little toes in some very chilly sand! Georgi, as big sister, has learned the art of smiling through anything and helps make the best pictures!

Thanks!
