I always enjoy meeting new people when I take pictures. It’s always a little more enjoyable when they are from my neck of the woods too! Lindsay contacted me about having some family portraits done while her family was in South Carolina visiting her sister. Come to find out, Lindsay is from Indiana and not too far from where I grew up!
After scheduling the session, Lindsay turned the organization portion of the photo shoot over to her sister Michelle, who lives here in South Carolina. I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the emails from Michelle. She knew exactly what type of shots she wanted, provided me with a list, and even gave me the names of everyone involved in the session. I didn’t realize how much of an impact, just knowing names ahead of time would have. I felt like I knew each member the family prior to arriving at their home in the Cliffs.
I always make a valiant effort to get to know names when shooting a large family, but often times, I simply can’t remember everyone. Having Michelle’s list ahead of time made my job just that much easier, since I already had an idea of names and who belonged in which family.
The day was gorgeous up in the mountains and we finished up the session right before it rained, which made for some interesting lighting, but we made it through.
Thank you so much for allowing me to photograph such a fun family! It was great getting to know you and I hope you enjoy your pictures!
