Fall means Family Time!

That’s right. It’s the last day of August. The leaves are starting to change, you can feel the chill in the air in the mornings, and the hotter days just don’t feel quite as brutal, and in the back of your head you know that the kids will be heading back to school right away after this long weekend.

It’s fall. And fall is the perfect time for family portraits.

I recently got an appetizer for family portrait season when I got a call from Mike about an extended family shoot they were interested in doing in August. With four adult children and a couple of their own family units within, I knew it would be a bit of, what we in the biz like to call a “schmozzle”, but I was happy to help them to capture their group. After all, in the past I’ve tackled a group of 40 for family portraits too!

While some of the kids were a little excited to be out and about and dressed up, the older children were happy to help keep the younger ones entertained and focussed when necessary. So I was quite pleased with the results.

Do you need new family portraits? Have you been saying for a few years now that it’s time for an update cause the last time you got pictures with the kids they were just starting school and now they’re about to graduate? Well count yourself lucky as I’m having a promotion!
