Yup, I do get this question asked and it is generally followed by don't you just use a timer and do it yourself!! Hard to believe eh. I am a professional and I truly DO hire a professional to do my family portraits over the years. How could I not . So just thought I'd share a couple of them with you starting with our last one done
the day our son was headed back to Edmonton to study. We had one chance at it and thank goodness the weather was wonderful and our Professional Photographers? Kevin and Laurie Wallace of Wallace Studios in Vanderhoof ( http://www.wallacestudios.ca/). Others in town have done them over the years but we both have kids the same ages and their daughter stayed with us this spring while she did her practicum for University,
so it was easy to ask them. Our daughter naturally got a piggy back off her brother..and Kevin was quick enough to take this as we had already finished the shoot at this point. ( to get to the greyhound on time!!)
One is done with our pets - Xi'an , a black Labra doodle and Finn our Golden doodle. I feel that our pets should be in the picture..but not for all of them as they do take attention and do not understand all the "standing " around stuff.They sure look well behaved but if you ask our son he didn't think so or our daughter as they had to handle them! We think it was our photographers "bark" that really did the trick.
I truly appreciate "good" photographers and even better good image that really capture us and those that are important to us. So next time your family is gathered for a special event..take the time to hire a professional and you too will have the experience we did with these kind of results.
