The Schrader Family

 In December, the Schrader family came into the studio for their portrait session.  I love their blue-green themed outfits.  The coordinate so perfectly together.  They were a lot of fun to work with, so full of energy and beautiful smiles.  I think we got some great shots of their family together and each of the children.  Of course, we got some shots of Mom and Dad too.


I think all too often, parents are so concerned about getting pictures of their children (which is a very wonderful thing) they forget to take a minute or two during their family session to get some shots of them together.  Many families I photograph have commented that the last portraits of just the two of them were taken at their wedding.  I try to take a moment during family sessions to make sure Mom and Dad have picture together.
