Thanksgiving Week…Families, families, families!!!

On Tuesday I was back in the studio after a superlative trip to Augusta…and bang…!!! Two or three family portraits every day…Yes, Thanksgiving is definitely about friends and families. LOTS of visitors in town, for sure! We have been photographing on various beaches, in the woods, at homes, and in the studio…Soooo delightful…I am particularly thankful that I had an early Thanksgiving dinner party with James and his fiancée Angelle in Augusta…that leaves me plenty of time to photograph your families this week. Watching family dynamics is one of the very fun things about doing family portraiture. We normally have the Nervous Nellies (the ones who planned this whole thing), the Alpha Annies and Allens (“OK, where do you want us!”, said with great authority), the Patient Pattys and Peters, and the Rolling Eyed Early Teens, and of course, the Wailing Wee Ones – Recognize the group?? I certainly do…! The cool thing is that the dynamics do not usually change…even in the families I have photographed many times. Now we all just tease each other and laugh about our respective rolls…You know what family portraiture is REALLY FUN!!! You should try it sometime…!!!
