Framing Families

Sometimes I think I am just plain lucky.  I get to frame moments like this and give these pictures to families that will remember this exact moment forever.  I shot the Horn Family this past Monday at Myrtle Beach State Park.  When I shoot portraits for families I like to focus on two things.  First, what will they want to put in a frame?  What will go on their wall from this shoot?  Secondly, what will describe their family dynamic?  These are the shots I take to satisfy my artistic desire.  Of course, I always hope that both of these types of shots will end up on their walls:)

Thanks Cara & Jeff for letting me do this for you!

Portraits can describe family dynamics, I love the energy in this photo.

The cuteness factor in this family is simply overwhelming!

Jeff and Cara are amazing parents. Not only are they raising three amazing, fun, unique children but they have a beautiful committed love that I truly respect.

It doesn't take much to keep kids happy at the beach!
