Family session. hmmm….A lot of people dread having their photos taken. Usually, it’s always the mama who wants the photos….but knows the minute she says “family portraits” out loud she’ll be greeted with rolling of the eyes, scoffs, and maybe a loud “no way!” So why ask, right? Why put your family and you through the torture of trying to capture a bit of who you are. Let’s face it…family portraits are stressful! And who wants to pay to be stressed out?
Let me tell you…capturing your family, doing nothing but loving each other is not stressful and above all very important! Maybe not to you at this moment, but I guarantee, if you were gone tomorrow your loved ones would hold dear any photographic evidence of your existence.
My family sessions are not traditional to say the least. I’m not gonna round everyone up and make sure everyone is looking at the camera saying “Cheese.” UGH!….talk about uncomfortable…. for me and my clients.
I want to see who you are and capture the loving glances and natural embraces that are shared between you and your husband and kids. I’m after photographing your family relationship and showcasing it as art.
This Family session (see below) was 9 months in the planning. We talked about various parks and other pretty places. But… what it all came down to, was asking themselves “where do we come alive as a family?” ….the answer wasn’t in matchy-matchy outfits, traditional posing, cheesy smiles and picturesque places.
It was simply them, being barefooted, wearing swim wear, at their cabin, in the water and on their boat.
These moments were real and simply perfect in my opinion.
More to come with this family.
All for now!
