A Family Photo Shoot

I've always been more into nature photography than photographing people, but the more I learn, the more I've entertained the idea of doing shoots for people. I decided to take my camera along recently when my wife and I spent an afternoon with my sister and her family. I'd love to hear your thoughts and get your feedback!

Thanks for looking!

You caught some awesomely "natural "photos of this family! I don't know the family, but I feel I have a good glimpse of who they are through your photos!

good job Brad, 6 and 8 are my favorites!

Dang. 6 is a winner for sure!!!

Thank you! That means a lot to me that I was able to not just take pictures, but capture a bit of the essence of who they are!

Thank you! Sounds like #6 is the winner of this shoot!

Nice Set! Watch your crops, you are cropping body parts in some of them :P

I'm not loving the color treatment on #1, #4, and #8. They are good shots lots of emotion, but they have greenish skin. I get that you want to give them more impact, but sometimes a post treatment competes with an already strong image.

#6 is awesome!!!

You did great - I love these - they feel real, natural, artistic, beautiful.

Aww this is so sweet. Awesome !!!

Yeah, I noticed that after I took them. I was using a 50mm and need to practice keeping everything in frame while still capturing the spontaneous moment - a challenge
