Darla + Family Portraits
This was my second session with Darla and her amazing family. It's always nice going into a family's home during the holidays and capturing some genuine moment. Especially when kids are involved, you never quite know what to expect. There was also a new addition to the family this year as you can see from the photos below.

I decided to do the group photos in front of the fireplace which made for the perfect backdrop. Aside from those posed photos, the rest of the session was simply walking around and getting some candid photos. We weren't able to get any outdoor photos this time around because of the cold weather, but there is talk of a summer session later this year, which I am very excited for.
Thanks as always to Darla and her family to inventing me into their home this holiday season!
Darla + Family Portraits
My first portrait session this past weekend just goes to show that even though it's winter, it shouldn't stop you from getting outside with your family and getting some photos done. That's exactly what I did with Darla and her family, and the results were awesome. The occasion was actually a special one, in that it was her mom's 60th birthday. I couldn't think of a better reason to get the whole family together for some portraits.

As soon as I arrived I met Darla and her mom Darlene, along with the rest of the family. Before we got to settled inside, I suggested that we go to their backyard to take some outdoor photos. It was a bit cold for the kids but they managed to survive and it was totally worth it. It helped that it wasn't too cold out, it was a pretty mild afternoon.
Once we finished outside it was time to head inside the house. I spent the last 30 minutes or so just following around the family and capturing moments. There were some posed photos of course, otherwise I was simply staying in the background. I came away with some real keepers! It obviously helped that Darla and her entire family were so easy to work with.
