In the past few weeks, as I’ve been talking with brides on pretty much a daily basis, I’ve really begun to understand something that is simultaneously incredibly cool and overwhelmingly humbling: As a wedding photographer, a couple isn’t just hiring me to take beautiful pictures on their wedding day, or even provide a catalog of […]

I’m in the middle of a string of on-location family photo shoots, with families that range in size from four to twenty-one people strong, so I’ve got family portraits on the brain.
