Sunday bests in front of a nice background with hair done just so? Everyone dressed in matching colors and formed into a pyramid? Walking along the beach with the little ones hands stretch up into the hands of mom and dad? Yes these all make for nice family portraits and some day I may even try to make some family portraits like this. But to me a family portraits show love and fun--after all you want to reflect and remember the good stuff. Sometimes the good stuff is just being goofy and making faces at one another to make each other laugh! I recently made a few pictures of the Prestons at the their home, some were more 'traditional' than others, but I noticed how easy it was to get Zach and Aria to make funny faces and decided to ask Bob who obliged and then Dana and finally Rita, who admitted that making faces wasn't something she did-especially not in front of a camera(and perhaps not something to do in front of a camera being wielded by a photographer with a blog!).
