My favorite way to spend a portrait session is laughing with my clients as I pose them, photograph them, and get to know them. This session was spent in that exact way and I couldn’t be happier about it. These three siblings are fun, artistic, silly, down-to-earth, and love their mom a whole awful lot, because they did this session as a surprise birthday present for her.
We got together at Colonial Park in Somerset, NJ to do this family portrait session, around sunset when the lighting was oh-so-perfect. To be completely honest, I had never done a session with only adult siblings before. While imagining what my sibling photos looked like growing up with two brothers, I was a little weary, but these three rocked it and left me feeling a little sorry for my own mother, who never was able to get a photograph of my brothers and I all smiling and looking good at once! I think this was the perfect gift for any parent, and I’m so glad I was able to be a part of it.
Aren’t these three so amazing?? I told them that they should go into modeling! I used all my best posing techniques on them, and with their big smiles, the photos just came alive! <3
The best part of the whole day for me, was at the end of the session while back at the cars, when the brother told me, “That was a lot less painful than I thought it would be!”. This is such a wonderful compliment and a testament to how hard I work to keep my clients stress free and having a good time during my sessions. It’s not the first time I’ve been told that, and hearing it never gets old!
