Large Groups

It's family reunion time, which means extended family photos!

Some tips for group pictures:

~ Make sure the little ones aren't hungry!  Hungry kids hate photoshoots, and who can blame them!  I never do a shoot with an empty tummy, they shouldn't have to either!  Even just a quick snack will help!

~ Relax.  Don't worry about your child being perfect - they pick up on that stress, and get stressed too.  Relaxed people get better photos ;)

~ Pick a location or time of day that has some shade to work in.

~ Have fun and let the photographer do their job!

Sneak Peak for N

This two year old was TOO cute!  She kept telling me "Lets find another spot!", and was full of giggles for the whole photoshoot.  She kept the photoshoot lively and very fun!

Sneak Peek for the S family

These are just tossed together to show the family!  I'm out of town, and missing my CS3 - I only have access to my old Elements program.  

The location was someone's AMAZING backyard.  Perfect for photographing gorgeous families like this one!

Sneak Peek for A's Family!

This family was gorgeous, and SO pleasant to photograph.  Looking at their sweet faces, you'd never guess it was windy and COLD.   I hope they have a safe trip home after their vacation here!
