Here’s another from our 2014 Canvas Cluster Wall Art Series: “The Showcase” “The Showcase” is perfect if you have tall ceilings in your living room and really want to make a statement with your family portraits.
This one ALSO features twins – just a little bit older than the itty bitties from the posting of a few days ago.
]]>January and February give us portrait photographers a chance to catch up with blogging all our wonderful sessions from last year.
Here is one of my favorites from my Fabulous Fall Family Sessions.

Tip 3) Share advance intel. Tell the photographer a few things about your child(ren) in advance – things they like to watch, read, do. That will help create a quick connection and conversation starting point. Similarly, tell your child about the exciting event you are going to do together. Build it up as something special and fun. With your child, visit the photographer’s About Me section of their website – show your children the photographer’s photo, and a bit about them. This will make your child more comfortable with the photographer.Two Key Tasks: Find a photographer whose style you love and budget appropriately.
Tip 4) Follow the photographer’s preparation suggestions. A experienced photographer will send you detailed instructions on how to prepare, which go beyond just selecting cute clothes for everyone. Invest time in reading them and doing all the ones that make sense for you and your family. As I tell my clients, proper preparations can take your photos from Amazing to Mind-Blowing.Two Key Tasks: Tell the photographer two things your kid likes, and visit the photographer’s About Me page with your child.
Tip 5) Relax. Once you have done all your preparation work, let the photographer do their job. I know it’s tempting to step in and tell you kid what to do/not to do, but that usually creates a less cooperative kid, not a more cooperative one. Professional Photographers have plenty of tricks up their sleeve, and sometimes even a roll of SmartiesTM.Key Tasks: If all else fails, make sure your kids are well rested, super clean (noses, eyes, face, fingernails, etc.) and select clothes your kids are comfortable in.
Below is a sneak peek from a recent portrait session held for a Littleton family. (Backstory: This little boy is impishly looking at the water’s edge, eying the old pieces of wood just begging to be tossed into the lake. ) This is a perfect example of capturing a child’s true personality, and I suspect it will end up being one of his mother’s favorites!Two Key Tasks: Show your child you are relaxed and having fun, and trust the photographer to get amazing images (Because you did follow tip #1, right?)
I just love doing mother-daughter portraits.
So much so that I have an entire gallery of just mother-child portraits which you can view here.
These three lovely ladies from Lafayette, Colorado had such a wonderful connection, and as you can see, both girls were lucky to inherit their mother’s beauty.
BTW, speaking of Lafayette, if you haven’t checked out Eats & Sweets – you are missing out They have something called the “World’s Best Cheesecake”…which of course made me quite skeptical. After just two bites I realized it is, indeed, the best cheesecake I’ve ever had. They are on S Public road in the heart of Lafayette.
