The new thing in home decorating with family pictures is doing a wall collection....these can be done in many ways....as canvas gallary wraps....in regular/contemporary frames....or matted in gallery style frames. These were taken during Brock's senior session....the images on the wall would be in separate frames. I tried to get them to "pick" on each other....we did get a couple that worked...I'll have to work on getting boys to loosen up and have fun!
I had the pleasure of working with a new family before the holidays....I really enjoyed their session and getting to know them.
It takes a lot of planning to get everyone organized for family pictures....but after all is done it is so worth it!
I was so happy that my idea of sitting the guys on the back of the couch worked...of course being me I took a traditional one first....I am working on not doing traditional unless requested...hope I can handle it!
when coming in for extended family pictures it is a good time to take that individual family to.
the best feeling in the world is to be a grandma....I am sure grandpas feel the same.
and it was time for 6 month pics....so we squeezed that in.....what a sweetheart!
and what do you do with all those different pictures.....showcase them on your wall of course....so you can brag when your friends come over.
It's not to late to get your family or children's pictures taken for holiday cards....you know how much fun it is to get those greeting cards in the mail....why not send some of that feeling to your friends and family....call today and get a free session and a discount on cards.
Here are a few that planned ahead...
It was great to photograph the Pommer Family....I grew up in the same town as Jason...know his mom well, but moved away when he was little....it was fun to see him as a dad and to meet his family. Here are a couple from their session. They were given the session and a wall portrait from Jason's mom from a gift certificate I had donated to the DeSmet Hospital Foundation Auction.
The boys were so polite and cooperative....grandma will be happy to hear that :)
young families are always fun to pose on the floor.
a square crop always adds a more contemporary feel.
sometimes we forget to get recent pictures with our spouse...all of us have changed since we got married.
Out of my little box I went....going to the lake for family pictures....I lucked out and we had a cloudy morning...a little breezy....but that is probably typical for the lake....what a beautiful place....next time we have to get one in the boat! Here are a couple....thanks for the opportunity to do something out of my normal day.
I really enjoy the time I spend with couples who have been married "forever" :):) It is fun to hear the stories they share....and how well they know each other....it makes me smile.....another plus to my "job"....I love what I do.
Loren and Mary Lou are some of the most caring people I know...many of you checking out the blog know them...they have been attending "events" forever...and they are still going...going....going....their large family and extended families keep them busy in their retirement.
we went out to the house for a few.
and this tells the entire story....congratulations on 50 years of memories :)
I was so happy that this family called and wanted to schedule a session while back visiting in the area....I had photographed them when they lived in Madison and was humbled when they wanted to take time from their holiday for pictures....thank you!
It was really windy...but we wanted to try something a little different and fun....it is not so easy to catch everyone in movement with a smile and looking at the camera....we got plenty of silly faces :)
It's time for mom's to drag in the dad and kiddos for a family portrait.....if it has been 5 years or more since your last family grouping....IT IS TIME!!! My calendar is busy....but I can get you squeezed in.
sometimes a card sent with just the kiddos is fun.
It is fun to share with friends and family how your family is growing.
It is fun for grandma and grandpa to brag about their children and grandchildren.
Fox Family.
sisters.
Kenyons....Mary (mom) had this on her priority list when all the boys were home this summer...it is easy to "put off" taking the family picture....but just doing it is a much better feeling than wishing we would have.
the boys.
how cute are these little guys....just a little bragging.....I am a "great aunt" :)
Nila and Ed have shared many holidays together...I am so blessed to meet and share in so many lives.
If the last time you and your husband had your pictures taken together was on your wedding day.....I would say it is time to have another one.
