Posted on November 6, 2009
At some point in our lives, most of us become someone’s Mom or Dad. If you didn’t give birth to your own brood, you may have certainly adopted a few little ones along the way. Or maybe you became the best Aunt or Uncle in the world.
Family sessions are expected during those early years. When your kids are young. What happens in thirty years? Do you stop trying to capture a portrait of yourself at some point? Have you? Why?????
This couple really made me think about that question. It’s true this image was part of a big family session, BUT, look at how adorable they are! There is such a story to tell about this couple. Their years together. Their history. Their journey to this bench, on this day, with their children and grandchildren watching them off camera. You should want to celebrate your love and your changing relationship throughout the years. This image is just as precious as the one they took on their wedding day. Surely they are different people now. Changed by all the events of life that have happened since. Please don’t let 20 or 30 years go by without documenting your story. Your children, grandchildren, and extending family will be thankful.
Large family groups rarely escape the posing. Sad, but true. It is nearly impossible to let 10 people just stand around while I shoot. There must be some organization. After all of that, I do make an attempt at a little nontraditional creativity. These little guys, twins, were the latest addition to the family. A brief focus on them gave me this image. It was my favorite. Their two different expressions just sums up the whole event. We covered the bases.
