England & Young Family Photos

We spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon at Indiana University photographing family portraits for repeat clients that we like to call friends. You may recognize everyone from previous wedding and family photos we've taken. How wonderful to see the little ones growing, plus get to meet a new face with Logan.

Here are several shots from our afternoon.

Kids will be kids

I love photographing children! I know parents must think the photo shoots are a nightmare for me when their kid isn't "cooperating." But the beauty of photographing children is capturing them as they are! I don't mind when a child goofs off a little bit...so long as they don't crash into my equipment, of course.

Kids will be kids. I just take what they give me. To me this is a priceless opportunity to capture their real smiles, real giggles, and yes sometimes real tears. My wife is a great assistant. She loves to play with the kids during the shoot, providing well-timed distractions, allowing me to keep my eye to the view finder. We're a really great team.
