The Smith Family Portraits in Pittsford NY :: August 24th, 2010
Oh, how I love my job! No, seriously… getting tackled by 5 little kids is just a great way to spend the day! If only everyday was so fun and active. I met the Smith family last year at Joe & Katie’s wedding and I am honored to work with them again.
The Smiths are a lovely family with 5 grandsons! How amazing is that. I feel sorry for the next baby if she is a girl. She’ll be a tough little girl, that’s for sure. These 5 boys were just a complete blast though. Not only did all of my tricks work on them, but they also were friendly to me right away. Most little kids aren’t as warm and open upon our very first meeting, so this really helped the portrait session go smoothly.
We were all laughs and chases and tackling, including myself. At one point, I think I had 4 of the 5 boys jump on my back. I tried to take a picture, because it must have looked hilarious… the portrait photographer getting really ‘into’ her work…
Anyway, here are my favorites from the multiple family portrait session. I love the life and reality of these images… these are the types of images I wish I had of my family growing up. My biggest memory of my Dad was wrestling with him after he got home from work!
I LOVE the feet shot Heather! And yes…what a lucky family to have these moments frozen in time to share throughout their lives. You captured them exactly how they would want to remember these days. Love your vision!
