Carole and Family -- Three generations

We had a lot of fun photographing Carole's family a few years ago -- lots of grown up children and their children. The grandchildren have changed a lot since the last family portrait (no more babies and one is engaged!) so Carole called us for updated photographs. You can view the rest of the images from her session here in her gallery on our website.

Kids change so fast...

compare this photograph to the next one taken a few yeara ago...

We photographed just the grandchildren, the entire family with all 3 generations, and then each family alone. They are an energetic group so it was a lot of fun!





Mom to be plus three

Kelly was just radiant! What an absolutely beautiful mom-to-be!

Wow!

And the one on the way is a boy, he will be a lucky little one with three older sisters to dote over him. Tom has three older sisters and they trained him well!

Charles and Family

We photographed Charles, Cheryl, Elli and Ally -- what beautiful girls! wow!!

I just love the expressions on the girls faces. They came in dressed so beautifully and the colors worked just great with our background too.

When it comes to nature photography 99% of my photographs are color, but when it comes to people I still tend to be drawn to Black and White. It just shows the soul of the person.

There were sooo many great expressions -- I could not decide upon just one favorite so I just had to make this montage!

Lauren and Sara

We great time photographing Lauren and Sara (and their Mom) a couple of weeks ago. These young ladies were a lot of fun and the session went by very fast. They brought their iPod and one of the fun things that we did was an iPod person with each of them.

Here is a short video of some of the photographs from their session. I will post some more photographs from their session soon -- there were a lot of great photographs. You can download the MP4 file and play it.

Rosa's Family

We photographed Rosa and Mike's wedding two years ago (Happy Anniversary Sept 30th). Since then they have been blessed with two adorable kids. Last weekend we photographed Rosa's family, 15 in all, with her siblings families and her mom. We went to Rosa's sisters' house for the portrait session. Carol had a beautiful house, we moved a few pieces of furniture around, set up our lights and umbrellas and started photographing. We photographed each of the 4 families of Rosa and her 3 siblings, Rosa's mom with her five grandchildren, Rosa's mom with her four kids, just the siblings, Rosa's mom with her four "in laws" plus a big photo with all 15 people in it. It actually went very fast and in just under an hour and about 150 photos later we were done. We are thankful to Rosa and her family for giving us this opportunity, it was a lot of fun.

Here are some (27!) of our favorites images, including a couple of Black and white images and one chocolate. The rest of the photos are on our website: http://tlc.smugmug.com/Portraits/617228
