Have you heard you shouldn’t wear stripes for family pictures? That rule of thumb does NOT apply when you’re five months old with nice chunky legs.

Enjoy these late summer/early fall portraits of a young family in the studio.

Here’s some info about Family Portrait Sessions you might want to know:

I love to know what you’re wearing in advance, if we’re going to be in the studio. A secret ingredient of professional photography is color harmony. It doesn’t just happen- I plan for it. If you text or email me a picture or description of your outfit, I have plenty of time to pull out backgrounds/sets that suit your clothing color.

In this case, I knew ahead what baby was wearing so I dug out this hand-painted canvas backdrop I hadn’t used in a while. For portrait art that will be displayed on a client’s wall, I currently like a neutral background that draws attention to the eyes and skin tones. How can someone not be charmed by this face?
