I mentioned that I recently traveled to Nashville to shoot a wedding with my friend Michael Howard, and in addition to the underwater shoot I’ve been posting images from, we did a little impromptu family session. I don’t usually shoot family portraits, so I was a little out of my comfort zone, but I’m really pleased with the resulting images. The twins are adorable, and the whole family is so stylish they made my first family session as easy as could be. I have a lot of respect for family photographers though, it’s no cakewalk getting 2 year olds to do what you want for pictures! It’s also always a little extra pressure when you’re shooting for a fellow photographer, especially when you have an admiration for their work.
I really like this. I have some with them looking up too, but I like the quirkiness of this one best. I have no idea why they’re looking down.
He was the more animated of the twins by far, she’s much more contemplative. I think this summed that up pretty well.
I had to sneak in some of just the two of them as well.
Hey Michael, did you pick that shirt because it matched your eyes? 
This may be my favorite.
Maybe there’s a little bit of family photographer in me after all. If they were all like the Howards, I’d make the leap in a heartbeat!
