    Family Session

    I convinced one of my friends that it was time for them to update their family photos. We went out to a park sorta near our houses and spent about an hour & a half. My brother in law also got his first chance to be my assistant for this shoot.

    I shot these with some sunlight, reflector, and some of the posed ones have some flash as a back/hairlight. More can be found on the San Jose California Photographer Blog

    C&C welcome

    3. This was a "grab shot", as I was actually shooting their other daughter. I was wishing I had my 30mm on to catch this one.

    The first shot grabs your attention and makes checking out the rest compulsory. A very fine series Scott.

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    Gorgeous group of pics Scott. Any young family would be thrilled to have images like this of them.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??
