generations of smiles

usually my subjects are children of all shapes and sizes and personalities, occasionally i shoot an immediate family, and as a treat i get to shoot generations of family. i love when families take the time to capture those moments. shy grandma or not, these are photos i hope families will cherish for years to come. so often we're behind the camera, which is all well and good, but it's important to take the time to hand the camera over and capture the...family.
today's shoot was terrific! mom won the session in a silent auction, which makes it all the better! she was careful to arrange it when the grandparents were in for a visit. so, yeah i have adults who look and smile when told, and one photogenic young man with tons of personality! we mixed and we matched and had a great session.
