A family portrait is always a great opportunity to celebrate your family, nuclear or extended!

During summer or early fall, I often try to schedule the session early or late during the day for a better, smoother light. This is much easier without young children.

For this family, gray skies gave us some perfect light. One of the best moments in a family session is often when I have the chance to capture the siblings together, mixing static and dynamic shots.
