So... Shelia Walker, an old friend of mine from High School, contacted me about taking photos of her son and his siblings.and I JUMPED at the opportunity! As mushy as I am and as much as I LOVE shooting weddings, I have slightly more of a love for shooting family portraiture. Perhaps because of the relationships I have with my sons. Maybe because my parent are no longer here, or because I have no relationship with my half-sister and don't know my half-brother. I was raised to believe that family is the most important thing in our lives. Our relative are our own personal VIPs. Lord knows they're our biggest critics, but the criticism is born of love and their need for us to succeed!
The shoot took place on a particularly cold Saturday in March at WhiteBalance Studios in Brooklyn. Can I tell you - I would give my right arm (um... ok, maybe someone else's arm because that's the one I shoot with!) to have a studio like that? Decently-sized studio with beautiful wood floors and lots of windows to reveal natural light, tucked away in quaint Greenpoint Brooklyn!
I think the kids had fun - I know I did!
My favorite photo of the day...
Shelia and her baby!
Do I have the greatest job in the world, or what?
