The Rest of the Family

And here are the other two members of the family. The first shot is one that they set up the pose. I picked the location so they had never been here before. When they saw the rocks they started climbing. I'm not sure who started climbing first - dad or the kids. I don't normally shoot pulled back so far, I like to get in real close so you can really see the faces. I was pleasantly surprised with this one, there is something about it I just like.

Family Portraits

Just before Christmas, I had the privilege of taking family portraits of a friend's family. I had a great time - and hope that they did too! Their daughter really enjoyed having her picture taken and kept telling me different poses she wanted to try. It was great. I will take that over the usual hate having my picture taken - trust me I know all about that feeling - that's why I take the pictures. Anyway, it was a lot of fun. I couldn't resist sharing these pics of their two kids and watching the progression of the personality that comes out in each child. Absolutely beautiful kids!!!

Happy Holidays from us to You

I absolutely HATE having my picture taken. That is why I am always behind the camera snapping away. I know more photographers that are this way. Well, I couldn't stay hidden behind the camera forever. Here are a couple family portraits done - self portrait style.
