Summery portraits on the porch with the C family

I may have mentioned I have a special affinity for families of five. The lovely C family of five came for portraits on the porch on the holiday weekend, and we had originally scheduled the shoot for late afternoon. I think we were all glad to have had the (accidental) foresight to reschedule for mid-morning, because the day turned out to be a scorcher by late afternoon. In the mid-morning, though, the day was summery and perfect. Here’s the storyboard I used for my “photo of the day” in case you missed it:

Their mom had said the kids might be shy, but I found them sweet and agreeable. Don’t you love those deep brown eyes?

I promised the kids if they sat patiently through just a *few* more group portraits, I’d let them have a little play on the tire swing in the back yard. And then stole a few more shots of that!

Then we “forced” them to endure just one more portrait, and it ended up being the keeper of the day.

Thank you, sweet C family, for coming out for portraits on the porch. It was great fun playing with you!

There’s only a few weekend spots left for portraits this summer, so if you’re interested in custom photography for your family, please do get in touch soon!
