This was my first family portrait session and I couldn’t have had a better family to start with! Without me giving them any instructions upfront, they brought along a blanket to lay on and several toys and props to use which were perfect for the shoot. Olive was a trooper and lasted almost two hours during the shoot. I was really glad to work with them, and as you can see the results are great! I learned a lot from my time with them and had a blast, and really like how the photos turned-out.

It was hard to choose some favorites to post because there are so many great photos, but here are several that I really liked:

About a year ago, I took my first portraits at Denver Darkroom. I barely knew what I was doing at the time when shooting my camera in manual mode, but I was pretty impressed with how my photos turned out. I don’t think I’ll ever be hugely into portraits and shooting models, but I think my shots come out okay when I do.
