Mom, Dad & Big Sister for Some Family Maternity Portraits at Home

  • November 23, 2021
  • Categories: Children, Family, Felipe Sanchez, Maternity, Portraits

Felipe recently had the chance to photograph a portrait session with Sunny, Drew, and their daughter at their home in DC. This was his second session with this family. It was a lovely and family-centered session, with the whole family participating and having a great time.

The session started with some indoor photos, capturing the family’s love and connection as they interacted and played together. Their daughter was full of energy and absolutely loved being in front of the camera, making for some truly delightful and candid moments.

After some indoor shots, the family donned their coats and headed out to a local park for some outdoor photos. It was a nice day, with overcast skies and the leaves starting to turn colors. The family explored the park, taking in the sights and sounds around them.

One funny moment from the session was when Sunny and Drew’s daughter was carrying a stuffed dog, and a friendly real-life neighborhood dog came wandering up, and their daughter offered the toy to the dog, and then was surprised when he actually took it and went off running. It was such a funny and unexpected moment, they all burst out laughing.

Overall, it was a fantastic session with Sunny, Drew, and their daughter. Felipe was able to capture their love and connection as a family, and the resulting photos are sure to be treasured for years to come.

A lot of parents have an impulse to expect their c A lot of parents have an impulse to expect their child to cooperate just because mom or dad said so. And, while debatably that might be reasonable for something like putting shoes back in their cubby or climbing into bed, a portrait session is different. 

For nice photos, the kid needs to *decide* to cooperate. It doesn't much matter if a kid grimaces through the rest of their broccoli, but if a kid grimaces through the portrait session, well grimace-portraits are what you're going to get. This is why I often whisper to the adults at the start of a session "Play it cool. You can pretend to be in charge, but you're really not. That kid has absolute power to hold these photos hostage."

This little girl was so stinkin' cute. She was feeling shy when we first got started, but warmed up before long. Every kid is different, and in this case, she needed to feel a sense of autonomy and control. Bossing her around made her feel uncomfortable, and made her clam up and cling to mom, but when she was involved and asked to "help" she brightened right up. She had lots of good ideas for pictures, and with a little technical help from yours truly, she gave us some really nice portraits and was more than willing to help me make some of mine, too.
