Beautiful family

Okay...so I've been very bad about blogging! It's not that I don't want to, it's just hard finding the time to do it. I'm considering going to block scheduling in order to impose some order on my life and business and hopefully schedule in things like blogging. I love to look at other blogs, and know it must be frustrating that I don't post very often.

So here it is!! My half-year resolution: I will blog more often!! There! I said it and now I can't deny it!

Here are some shots from a recent portrait session in Brentwood. I can't say enough wonderful things about this family. The love they share was so obvious during the time we spent together. They are very close and obviously respect each other a great deal. I was honored to meet them and take their pictures.

I also love the color and vibrance of their traditional attire, but I also felt something deeper coming out of these images and thought it would be best expressed in an antique sort of look. Changing from the vibrant color created a different type of mood which worked well in many of the images I captured. I did prefer the happier full color for the group shots because it better relayed the joyfulness and love in this family

The Keith Family

What a great time we had taking these pictures! Even Marley the dog got into the action. She was very well behaved for most of our session, but lost her patience toward the end and stole a headband while the family made chase to get it back. These are all going to be part of their Christmas card--I can't wait to get started on it.
