Four Wonderful Families - The Steelers Fans

A few weeks ago, on what seems now like the last warm Sunday of the year, I met with four families who were kind enough to allow me to practice my picture taking skills on them. 

Today, allow me to introduce you to the first of those four families…Kristen, Michael and their two lovely kids…Joshua and Paula.

Having only taking pictures of very young children up to this point, it was a great deal of fun watching the two older siblings interact and pose together. 

 

 

 

It was a real treat to see personalities come out as the afternoon went along...

one demonstrating a flare for adventure...



 

 

the other poised with a hint of serenity...

 

 

 

By the end of the shoot everyone was a little tired and ready for the long walk back to the car...





 

But for this family one more important photo (and change of wardrobe) was a must...

 

Thank you to Michael, Kristen, Paula and Joshua for allowing me to capture your afternoon on film. 

Lesson 1: Direct sunlight is way too harsh.

Lesson 2: Shade is your friend.

Lesson 3: Get the kids involved when it comes to poses…they can come up with some of the best.
