Photographing the Ones You Love

My sister's ask for my photography skills on a regular basis, and I love to help! They're my baby sister's after all!

The great thing about photographing them is that you KNOW them, and you KNOW how to capture their unique sense of self. You KNOW the good angles, and how to get them to smile naturally and you know how to tell them to dress, or what back drops to use. Oh and since you KNOW them you can boss them, and tell them all of these things without much reserve. Unlike your client, who you can't tell them just what to do, you can try, but you may lose the client, and that is just a bad time for everyone.

Anyway, my more recent family-shoot was of my youngest sister, 18, and her boyfriend. They were taken on a FREEZING day at Civic Center Park in Denver, and the clothes were not fancy (BF is wearing athletic pants. O.o) but I really love the natural, and sweet results.
