Parents want family portraits…
Kids want to climb trees…
And run…
And explore…
So I suggested swinging, and when the swinging stops… then we take the photos…
And when the swinging wears off… then start hanging them upside down…
And when they fall on the ground in excitement…
Everyone falls on the ground in excitement… and there we have our family portrait.
somewhere between a handshake and two kisses 
I was wondering what to do about that!!!! Love that light…..Jude
i love these pictures. those are really good ideas on getting a fun, non-formal family photo…even tho i am not a photog…i wish. i just play with my camera non-stop!!!
