Family…extended.

July was a busy month for extended family photos.  I get asked often if I do them at all because I never post photos of them.  The reason is because it’s hard to get super creative with 35 people in a short amount of time.  But I wanted to give props to my July families.  They did the most amazing jobs on color coordinating dont you think?  I love how their colors came together.

Red, whites and blues with solids and patterns.

Pinks, blues with a little gold mixed in.

Greens, blues and yellows.

Greens and Purples.

Black, blue and white.

I’m so glad the days of matchy matchy are gone and the days of coordinating are here.  Thank you to all my great clients.

The Clark Family

Pretty people, pretty location, pretty light.  I love this little family and cant wait to meet baby girl number 3.

I have somehow become…

a family photographer.  And I LOVE it.  My first few years as a photographer I did 95% weddings.  I got comfortable and was even bold enough to say that I would rather do two weddings in one day than a family portrait.  I dont feel that way anymore.  I LOVE family pictures.  One of the things that I love about them is that they are a mad house almost everytime but somehow the images dont capture it.  

I have a very relaxed way of approaching the family portrait.  I tell people where to stand and slight body changes to get good angels but I rarely do more than that.  The last thing I want is for a family photo to not resemble the “feel” of the family.  I refer (in my head) to this way of posing as “perfect imperfection”.

Speaking of PERFECT, here is a sweet family that came to Utah from Canada for the holidays.  I was so happy to meet them and their very lovely children.

Well it’s almost December and these pics were taken in September I believe.  I have tons of stuff that didnt get posted in the fall rush so I will try to start incorporating them into my current shoots so if you notice green trees etc that is why.
