Shooting multiple generation families over the holidays can be a daunting task. The most challenging part is honestly the logistics of getting everyone together – especially with people flying in and out at different times. And of course the idea of a big family shoot is usually exhausting – getting the kids fed, dressed and happy can leave any parent stressed and grumpy. I do my best to make the family portrait process fun, easy, and relatively quick. I always start with the hardest shots – the whole family as one large group – when everyone is fresh. After that, I work with individual families while the others can take a break and let the kids run around.
Being from Washington state, this family is full of die-hard Seahawks fans, so after we got the more formal mass group photo done, everyone donned their Seahawks garb for some fun group shots showing off their favorite sports team – with Grandpa’s (ahem) colorful shirt being the center of attention. He was damn proud of that shirt…
In between posed group shots I took fun candid shots of the family just being themselves. I believe it’s important to have a balanced mix of posed/directed and candid shots from every shoot. Below are some of my favorite photos from the family photography session, laid out album spread-style. Enjoy!
