Default Family photo session
Bob and Sherrie engaged me for a family portrait session. It was a very relaxed gig, because I've known them for 25 years. Bob was my daughter's first softball coach, and Sherrie was the team manager.



Sherrie clearly passed on the beauty gene to her 3 daughters.



The visit of Sherrie's mom and dad precipitated the family gathering. These fine people recently celebrated their 63rd anniversary.



It was a nice opportunity for a 3 generation photo...



... and a big family photo.



Only one of the girls is married so far, so I'm looking at this as an audition for a couple of great weddings.

Frank, great series of family portraits!

Lighting of subjects and background looks pretty good and balanced. Nice expressions, how did you get that picture perfect smile out of everybody in each of these?

Great exposure Frank. Share your lighting. One light?

Thanks, Felix.

Kelly, I used 2 strobes with umbrellas, 45 degrees off the center line, at each side.

Maurice, I'll deliver them this afternoon. I hope you're right!
