How gorgeous is this family?! Last week I had the honor of speaking at Shutterfest and one of my classes was “10 Tips for Shooting Families”. I was given a model family to shoot, but in order to show the rawness(and realness) my goal was to find an actual family in St.Louis to photograph that were not models. I am going to do a separate blog post on tips, reasons, and some take aways from this shoot…. but first(and for this post) I want to introduce you to the Meintrup family!
I mean look at this family… they could be mistaken for models!
With families I love little detail shots like this….
Look at his eyes!
With families typically there is a million things gong on at once…. and I think it is beautiful! 🙂
Anne… you are gorgeous… Love your smile! One of my favorite pictures!
Ummm who says I can’t get a two year old to look and smile at the camera? 🙂 boom. 😉
Daddy with his little man.
Mom with her little princess.
I just love this…. The Meintrup family is in the process of hosting a girl this summer in hopes of it turning into adoption. Such a special time in their lives! You can find out more HERE from there You Caring Page.
The girl is coming from Lativa.
Lifestyle images are some of my favorite… Setting an image up then letting life happen.
At family sessions ,a lot of times it well becomes crazy, busy, and well attention on the kids… But I LOVE taking a few moments and focusing on just Mom and Dad. After all, this is where the family started.
🙂
Meintrup family…. THANK YOU! Such an honor to meet you all, and I am so excited for your new adventure! Thank you for allowing me to photograph you with 70 plus other photographers watching and shooting! 🙂 You know just a normal everyday session 😉 You have a gorgeous family and I feel lucky to have met you and had the opportunity to capture a small portion of your story.
