Utah Photographer ~ Darla Roze Photography

When the grandmother of these sweet kids called me and said that all 13 of her grandkids would be in one place at one time and could I be there too, I said ”You Betcha!”  Well maybe not those exact words but close.  The fall morning was a little brisk but these little kids were troopers. 

Family photo season has officially begun.   Bring it on! 

First up are the BEAUTIFUL Kjar family. 

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.
