Last Saturday I did a big family portrait session in Moses Lake for Cindy and her family. They were together for a graduation party for Brianna, and we had a nice big group.
Nothing to crazy or revolutionary here. We just got some nice portraits and had a little bit of fun. The group did a great job putting up with my crazy ideas. That always makes things easier. There were lots of separate group shots, as well and some big one’s of the whole family.
I did have a bit of a challenge because of the bright sun. In photography light is great, but direct sun is hard because of the shadows and squinting. I did some corrections in Lightroom starting with some of my own effects, and then a bit more in Photoshop to compensate for the harsh light, and give the shots a bit more mood.
Here’s a few of my favorites. You can click any image for a larger view… Gav
Gavin,
Your the man! Large family groups like this are so hard to do and you did a fantastic job. I love the relaxed look of them all sitting down and looking into the lens. You captured the family’s closeness with this pose.
