I couldn't have picked a better group to start with. We shot at their gorgeous farm before sunset and despite 90ºF temperatures, had a great time (I did anyway) and came away with some fun shots. Seriously, with such a good-looking family it's basically impossible to get bad pictures of them!
This was the best they could do at funny faces... :-)
The contrast of short and tall just really cracks me up

Great job, Kathryn! #1, 10, &11 are favorites.
ReplyDeleteI am curious though, how did you manage taking that last one? I have an interesting picture in my mind of how that worked . . . :)
Haha, that is called laying on the ground, wide angle lens and making everybody squish together like sardines! :-)
DeleteLove it! Will have to try it some time.:)
DeleteThese are really great pictures, Kathryn! I love the poses for all of them. :)
ReplyDeleteAWESOME pictures! :)
ReplyDeleteGREAT photos! Lome 'em! Large groups are so challenging for me, but you definitely have a knack for it! :)
ReplyDeleteI love it!!!
ReplyDeleteIts so refreshing to see photography of big families! I'm the oldest of eight children and am always on a hunt for some fun posing ideas for our annual family photos :)

Love love love all the shots! I need to keep these posing ideas in mind for my siblings when I'm taking their pictures.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! Well, actually, to be honest, they're more than great! :) I love the barn door and fence shots-which basically mean every single photo- haha. The last shot is awesome too!
ReplyDeleteLove the first and last one, and the sisters/brothers shots are so sweet! You did so well with posing all the kids... =)
ReplyDeleteOh, I was going to ask you Kathryn... did you ever get "Error 99" messages on your Rebel Xti? That's the camera I own, and starting a few days ago haven't been able to take pictures with it and get Error 99 messages... ? Soooo, trying to figre that out, and thought it wouldn't hurt just to ask if you have had the same problem/what you did about it. =) Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteP.S. How are you enjoying the 60d??? =D
I don't remember ever getting that... the only error message that I remember getting was when I had to clear my card. I had emptied it (I thought) but then it wouldn't let me take pictures, until my mom figured out we had to completely clear the card - make sure you've saved your pictures, and then you can format the card in your camera's menu. That takes EVERYTHING off (apparently there is still data stored on the card even after you pull pictures off...). I'm not sure if that's the problem you're having, but you could try it. Otherwise, I don't know! Sorry I couldn't be more help!
DeleteI loooooove my 60D so far!!!! :-D
No worries... thanks for the info anyway. =) And thank you for telling mt about formatting memory cards... I've always been a little unsure about formatting my cards for fear of messing something up so I never have done that. I will definately be doing that now! Thanks again. =) May God bless your week with many little reminders of His great love!
DeleteIt does sound scary but as long as you make sure you've taken all your pictures off the card you're pretty safe. :-) Hope you get your problem solved!

DeleteBasically: you rocked this, girlie!! Awesome photos. Despite the true fact that it must be hard to take bad photos of such a good-looking family... I think you did a particularly good job. :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow...these are *gorgeous*. Not that I'm surprised...you've got an chock-load of talent up that sleeve of yours. :-D Also, the subjects are SO photogenic! All the pictures are wonderful but my favorite is the second one. The lighting is *perfect*.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the GREAT work, Kathryn!! You're amazing. :-D
These are stunning, Kathryn!! You're an inspiration! I would be terrified to do a family that big, but you did awesome. Poses all look natural and what a beautiful special family!
ReplyDeleteFantastic job!!
ReplyDeleteKathryn you are officially an awesome family photographer. I was going to say I liked the first outfit color combinations better black white gray and splash of pink but then all the colors grew on me and I can't decide. One is more fun and playful the other classic and a tad formal. I Love all the poses and the not so posed ones too, like the boys carrying the bench together. Seriously super job K!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun photo shoot! I love their fashion sense!! Thanks for letting me tag along! You did a awesome job!
