I had the greatest family session today. These guys were so much fun I hated to see them leave. They were all really easy going and willing to let me try some non-traditional ideas for their family portraits. Below is a small selection of what turned out to be a very large gallery. Does the stark white background bother you? My alternatives were black, red and gray so I thought white was probably the best choice so everyone would stand out well...... I did add the plaid blanket though to ground them.

We all had a great time. I have another session scheduled in a few weeks with mom & the new baby, I can't wait.

I also want to invite mom back to do some stock sessions with me, don't you think she'd be great!?!?! :)

Cindi, those are wonderful! I really like the first one, and the contrast between it and the sixth (which seems to be more 'traditional') makes it really stand out in the group you posted. I imagine they were really, really happy with these and will generate a lot of word of mouth business for you! Congrats!

I love them all very much, only one really has something that bothers me a bit. I wish you hadnt cut off the baby's foot in the one by himself.

Me too, Matt; luckily I have about 20 of baby by himself, so they should find some they like. But again, today's session was about the family -- the next session will be all about baby. :)

Eric, they haven't seen them yet. I promised their gallery would be ready by Wednesday, but was so excited after our session that I got them all processed today - moments before I posted here. Just had to show them to someone!! I can't wait 'till they see them, I think they'll be very pleased.
