One of my favorite genres of photography is family portraits. There are specific lenses that are designed for portraiture, with the main purpose of separating the subject from the busyness of some backgrounds. This 135mm F1.8 Sony lens does a wonderful job of achieving just that. Here area few of my favorites from this session.
My client Jody is re-branding his business, creating a new website, etc. and needed some new headshots for his marketing plan. Don’t know where he found all these crazy shirts, but I believe his clients will get the message 🙂
When my grandkids come to me for a sleepover, we often end up playing in my studio. These are some of the images that we created this evening.
Seven year old Torah stopped by the studio to get some photos taken the other day. Just love this spunky kid.
I had fun in this studio this afternoon with this little pageant princess. Some kids are just born to perform. I think she is one of them. Studio photos used to be the standard go-to for documenting families, especially kids as they grew and changed from year to year. I think we miss some of that in our world of smartphone cameras.
I took photos of this little guy before he was born when we did Mom’s maternity portraits, and now he has just turned one. How time flies. So much fun to watch families grow. Here are a few of my favorites from today’s shoot, all converted to black and white or sepia. I find that sometimes color can be a distraction, and monotones allow one to better focus on the expressions and personalities of the subjects.
