So important photographer rule is to always keep gorgeous friends. I needed a model for some dresses from my “Client Closet” and knew my long-time friend Lauren was my girl for the job. Not only is she obviously beautiful, but she also has a beautiful family and lives on beautiful property! We had a lot of fun with this and I’m happy she got some great family photos out of it too! Next time we will have to make sure her equally gorgeous daughter is around to join in!
I’ve been shooting this family for quite a few years now and each session gets better and better. I just love working with clients that I have gotten to know and enjoy catching up at each session. I love that this dad acts like he doesn’t get too excited about all of the “posing” and smiling but I I know he LOVES the end results and his sense of humor is always a good time. And could you even ask for a more lovely and photogenic mom and daughter team? Can’t wait for their next session!
First-time clients are so much fun! This family was such a pleasure to meet and work with… so sweet and SO photogenic! Little guys weren’t too sure that this was a “smiley” situation and maybe thought we were all a little crazy jumping around an making noises at them, but they didn’t cry a single bit either and were so good, so I call that a SUCCESS! And what beautiful big sisters they have! So glad I got to meet this family and hope to see them lots more in the future!
I love that this gorgeous family thought to do a family session while their daughter was home from college, and I am so happy that I have this cozy space always ready for a last-minute session without a lot of fuss, walking (or getting those really white shoes dirty)! I also love the timeless look of a simple background for family photos. I’m so happy I got to meet this great family and hope to work with them again in the future!
As a general rule of thumb, good photos aren’t cheap and cheap photos aren’t good. There is a reason some photographers charge more than others. It’s expensive to run a legal business and provide the very best services to your clients. Professional gear, licenses, websites, taxes, studio rent, permits, backrops…whew! I always try to stay in the most affordable range I can because I think everyone deserves great photos, but obviously I have to make some money too. So whenever I can come up with an event or sale to help people save money and get great photos, I jump on it. This year I tried a “12 days of Christmas” special, featuring a different great deal every day leading up to Christmas. It was so much fun and so many people took advantage of the amazing deals, including this super fun and gorgeous family.
Their oldest daughter, Caroline was a gymnast with my own daughter, Marissa years ago…but it doesn’t really seem that long ago. They are such a sweet and fun-loving family and it was so nice to spend some time with them in the studio over the holidays for this great session.
