Family Portraits

Family portraits are most definitely one of my specialties. I have done thousands through the years and have encountered literally all types of situations. Many of the families I do come back annually so I try to create something a little different each year. It seems that MOST families take their photo Oct. – Dec. so this period of time becomes pretty crazy for me. The fun has begun and the images from this season are better than ever! Family

Ballet & Baseball

On Sept. 10th, we will be doing our “Ballet and Baseball” Children’s Theme Day. Whether you have a ball player or a ballerina, we can create something you will treasure! There is no session fee and packages begin at $60. We have antique baseball uniforms available or wear your own. We will provide roses for our ballerinas and they should wear their own tutus. ballet

Days Gone By

One of my friend’s son’s restored this old Chevy after finding it in a ditch. I saw it and knew I had to have it! The color and style of this truck have made it a favorite prop at my studio. It does run, but I rarely crank it up. It is parked in my studio garden and I use it when the situation is right. It works great for kids, families and high school seniors. Every year I offer a special day(s) for portraits with the truck called “Days Gone By.”. This year’s dates are June 18th & 26th for no session fees and special pricing on portraits. oldtruckpinwheel

Family Portraits

A very important part of the creation of a great family photo is the clothing choices that are made by the clients. Below are some of my favorite examples of good combinations of clothing/colors/textures/styles that helped in making these recent photo sessions all successful!

Family of 4

One of my favorite sessions this year was of this beautiful family of 4!  Erin and Jeff’s two four legged companions are so sweet and unbelievably smart, lovable and photogenic!  I shot this session on a beautiful early December morning on location in Allen.  The lighting was amazing!!  Most of the images were taken “documentary” style with a few posed traditionally.  The blending of the two styles allowed for great variety and some amazing shots!  Barkley, the gray puppy, is a new addition to the family and it’s easy to see how loved he feels.  The expression in his eyes says, “i LOVE my new family.”  I’m glad that Snickers has a new brother to share the fun they all have together!
