Isa & Andy’s Extended Family Portrait Session at Kinder Farm Park

  • November 2, 2022
  • Kinder Farm Park
  • Categories: Children, Family, Portraits, Siblings

It was another family portrait session for Isa & Andy and their extended family, and this time we headed out to Kinder Farm Park in rural Millersville. This park has a long history, dating back over 200 years, and has served as a working farm for much of that time. It also serves as an educational destination, with live farm installations for visitors to learn from.

Upon arriving, we were greeted by the park’s large barns and sweeping rural views. The active livestock also provided a great opportunity for the kids to take a look and learn. There is a $6 per car admission fee to enter the park, but parking was a breeze. The location is quite large and can involve a lot of walking to get around but the views and atmosphere are worth it.

In previous sessions, Isa & Andy’s twin daughters have been a bit camera shy, but this time, with another year under their belt, they were much more excited to be involved and have their picture taken. Their older daughter was also a natural in front of the camera, too, and she was so great with all the kids.

Andy’s mother was a bit hesitant to join us because of all the walking involved, but a quick car ride from the parking lot to the area where we were shooting convinced her to come along. I’m glad she did because we were able to capture some really nice photos with her.

We started the session around the visitors center before moving down into the park area. The sun was setting, which gave us some really dramatic shots that turned out great. We spent some time with each individual family group, as well as a few different arrangements of the whole extended family together.

To finish things off, we headed down to the livestock area and the twin daughters were completely captivated by the goats making hilarious noises. It was a great way to end a fun and successful family portrait session.

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.
