Last week this lovely family invited me to their home for a session and since I almost never post family sessions on this blog I thought it would be a good idea to turn a new leaf and start posting them.

I love me some awesome family chemistry and these guys did not disappoint.

For information on how to book lifestyle family sessions with us send us a line at Dlanton@Darkershadesofbrown.com and we will be sure to get you in our books for an afternoon of fun.

Jeff and Heather are my friends…. Jeff actually was in my wedding five years ago so at one point in time we were pretty good friends and then you know life happens and we didn’t talk all that much. About a year ago Jeff and I started meeting pretty regularly to encourage each other as we are both self employed and once upon a time in a galaxy far far away we were employed by the same company.

I say all this because I am happy to be his friend and a few weeks ago he and Heather had their second child…

Let’s just say there are small benefits every now and then to being friends with a photographer.

It was a joy to give them this gift.

I love how hands and little baby feet make hearts…

One of the most often questions I get are questions about family pictures. I don’t do them very often and not because I don’t like photographing families but because my schedule does not permit me to do them very often.

Living in Scranton PA your average family is not use to lifestyle sessions. It’s always a little awkward when the conversation begins about family sessions as I try to describe what it is I do. I don’t do Christmas card photos with a family under the tree wearing the ugly sweaters that you see come in your mailbox this time of year.

It’s just not what I do…

So today I post a family session. Maybe this will start opening people to the idea of bringing a little creativity into their family pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Family lifestyle sessions start at $350 and beginning early this coming year I will be offering time slots for many of them so I hope you are as excited to get them as I am to take them.

It’s time to celebrate the awesomeness of family.
