Family Portraits – Brisbane Portrait Photography

January 18th, 2010 Posted in portraits

This is a big family portrait shoot, nearing the biggest kids wise, well not counting the wedding group formals or my own family pics.

I meet Linda at the Ipswich Home expo stall and we talked of possibly doing some family pics for her. Well in November 2009 this happened. 4 families and the adored grandparents all came along to the Mt Cootha Gardens to have their family pics updated. In total there was 10 adults and 9 children, so with the weather being humid and hot we tried to cover as much ground as we could without wearing out the younger kids and overdoing it with the adults.

I had allocated half hous time slots for each individual family so that we could do their pics and also some big group ones, but I found that this wasn’t quite enough time and I think 45 minutes or an hour would have worked just that little better, as it is a big day for the family by the end of it.

All the kids did extremely well considering how hot it was, all in all it was a great result with each family getting their individual family shoot as well as all getting together with the whole family. It is not often that families can get together easily and all together – so I thank you all for taking out the time and being patient with with shoot, it is always a big ask for the Mum’s and Dad’s to try and do big groups, especially when it is hot.

You all did fantastic considering that it was already 30degree’s by 9.30am – I think we all felt it (me included ).
