I tried not to look overwhelmed, but I was.
I tried to smile and pretend that shooting a family of 18 people is exactly what I do every single day.
I tried not to look scared, but inside I was terrified.
You don’t see many family shoots on this blog anymore for one reason – I’m not that great at family portraits. In fact, my new brand (yep, it’s coming) is saturated with weddings, because I LOVE weddings. I KNOW weddings. Crying children, I’m not quite so sure. Children scare me – I’m not quite sure what to do with them. It’s true…don’t judge me.
Even a family as fabulously gorgeous as this one. It was still 18 of them against 2 (Thanks Joe for assisting). Luckily, pretty people are easy to shoot…I just lined them up and pretended I was doing family formals at a wedding.
Here’s my “groomsman” shot…haha…
Mom and Dad:
To get the baby to smile, someone had to sing “Boom Boom Pow” by the Black Eyed Peas behind my shoulder the entire time. I wish I had switched my MarkII to video…
And the ever fab Sarah and Mark – remember their trash the dress session?
Upcoming forecast: Elise & Eric
