Everyone worries about having their family picture taken when they have children. Myself included... I have 3 rambunctious boys, and you never know what is going to happen when you ask them to sit still and behave.
So how do you get a nice family picture where your children aren't flying past you as you wearily smile at the camera? Well, you have your assistant bounce a soccer ball on your head right before you take the picture!
ok... it was an accident, the ball slipped, and we're still friends... but it worked & I may use that trick down the road if necessary! :)
The best way to have a relaxed, fun portrait session with kids is... to let them be kids. Mom & Dad in this session knew we might have a hard time getting the boys to sit for a picture, and let me know ahead of time. They had a great idea to let the boys play soccer for a while to help burn off some energy... and it gave the kids some time to warm up to me as I dodged the ball and snapped a few fun shots while they played.
Cute family! I love photography and I want my clients to enjoy their portrait sessions as much as I do. I'll do my best to engage the kids, ask questions, tell a story, make funny faces and be silly... soccer ball to the head, whatever...
just relax and enjoy the time with your family and I'll capture the memories for you.
Thanks Kay & Leo for a fun session with your adorable boys!
