For more years than I can remember, we have been asked over and over…”Do you do photograph families as well?” Our answer has always been a pretty emphatic no. Elizabeth and I have always been in agreement that we do what we love because it brings us the most enjoyment and we do our best work that way. Even when it means less money. Doing the typical family portraits simply never appealed to us. So much of what we see in children and family photography is boring. Cliche, old, the same ol’ same ol’, and we just didn’t want to take part in it.
We realized that we said the same thing about wedding photography for years until it dawned on us that we can do it our way. Pure storytelling, real and emotional. Without all of the silliness. Professionally and personally, it was one of the best decisions we ever made. So we revisited the family/children idea and realized again that we don’t need to follow the trends to do what we love. The concept of “A Day in The Life” appealed to us immediately. Instead of going to the park, having your family dress in blue jeans and white shirts and pretend like you are having fun for the camera, we would capture your family as they are. A day in your life. At your house. As it really happens. Messy and cute, the way kids are.
We couldn’t be more excited. Let me introduce Mandy and her kids. Enjoy!
