WARNING… Not your typical shoot or typical family

 

I have been photographing this family for many years, back to when this little guy was just a baby.  At the time his big sister was madly in love with him, not to say she is not now, but you know how adorable kids can be when they are little.  He had the most adorable big eyes and she was as nostalgic as an Christmas angel.  Then came their little sister.  She is the perfect addition to what is already a fantastic family. 

The clan was invited to Shutterbug Portraits to have photos taken on our new white backdrop.  Over a period of a few weeks we had several families in for sessions, during which we sent moms to the nail shop next door for a deluxe mani-pedi.  These families were already clients of Shutterbug, so moms felt confident we would get great shots.  During this particular shoot I had to mention to my interns that this was one of the easiest shoots they will ever witness.  Not to say we don’t love a maniac set of three kids or out-of-control twins (more on this later), but when a shoot is easy, you just sit back and enjoy it.  These kids were so well-behaved and worked the camera.  What a joy they were.

Camera Class at Shutterbug

It is very rare for me to use my own children in my marketing pieces or as samples on the wall in the studio.   I have always stayed clear mixing them with my business.  My youngest has all but demanded she go on the front window as soon as possible. Often I joke with my kids that I would put an unflattering picture in the studio window if they continued to misbehave.  Great revenge (oops meant to say threat:) as the studio is walking distance to their schools and the bagel shop next door is the busiest place in town. 

My oldest has asked me for days (ok, it may have been several weeks) to photograph her.  I dedicated a few hours to her this past Sunday.  When all was said and done, I was glad I spent the time.  She is stunning.  How could I resist to put her in my window.  Clearly she looks way too old to be mine:)

Our next introductory DSLR classes are Tuesday, August 3rd and September 7th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.  Hope to see you in class.
