I played real photographer for my sister and her family this summer. Mostly it reminded my of all the reason I'd never make it as a pro. Getting everyone to look the same way, smile and open their eyes - not an easy task. Still I had a lot of fun trying.
Instead of posting the "good" ones - i.e. the ones my sister will have printed and hang on walls, I thought I'd post some of my favorites, mostly outtakes - photos that made me smile and brought out personalities.
M and T weren't particularly in the mood to play model, so we moved fast and used frozen white chocolate chips as bribes - it was the only food I could think of that wouldn't result in messy faces and clothes.
We were attempting to copy a pose we'd seen on pinterest in this photo - let's just say it didn't quite go as planned....
My favorite of T - he looks sweetly mischievous, which is correct.
We never did get a good one of Miss M that evening, so the next morning I convinced her to give me another try. This ended up being one of my very favorite shots of the entire experience.
I recently downloaded the newest Josh Radin, the entire album is amazing, but his
The Greenest Grass seems to be a great match with this photos.

Taking family portraits is tough. Thanks to digital you can snap several shots and not worry about the cost of film. Your head shots are super cute.
I say give me a cupcake to take a pic of any day!
At least it was fun! It didn't turn into a screaming match between me and the kids, so it was a victory!!
This is one of the hardest shoots ever, but you really got some great shots!
I think they are all wonderful!
You can come play 'real photographer' for me, anytime! Especially if those are the outtakes! Great job...beautiful photos of a beautiful family <3
I love these out takes! You really captured their personalities well. I think you would make a great "real" photographer!
Jamie, these are just beautiful, and what a beautiful family they are!
These photos are adorable. The husband is shooting a family friend's family (got that?) this week-end. Should be an adventure!
Beautifully done
Such great photos. And so much fun! Maybe I will hire you to take my Christmas Card Picture!
Great photos! Playing family photographer is so much fun (especially if you know the family well). I could never do it for a living either, but it's always so much fun to be able to give gorgeous photos to someone. I'm sure they will cherish these pictures!
