A Fly Family | Los Angeles Family Photography

July 12, 2010

 How lucky is this family to have FOUR awesome kids? They were so sweet and so much fun~ even the sleepy two year-old who wanted nothing to do with me or my camera! (He did like my puppet Dr. Evil Porkchop though)

I do realize that I just posted about 70 images. Sometimes you just have to shake it up a bit! :-)

  • Kristina P · Posted July 13, 2010 at 7:40 am · Link

    As a family of 6 myself I know how crazy it is to think a photographer will be able to even get one good shot, and then you think I don’t want just one, I want pictures that show my family who they are! So I give up, thinking it’s not possible and I still have yet to do a family shoot. These brought tears to my eyes because I see it’s possible with you! You captured this family wonderfully!!!! I love love love every one of these images and look forward to your blog post once again! :)

We had terrific light yesterday afternoon! M. is one of the smartest 7 year olds I have met (she can spell so many hard words!) and has the prettiest eyes ever! A. is without a doubt the hairiest “sibling” I have photographed!
