Lindley Family Portraits – 2009 Edition

It’s become an annual ritual. The fall family portrait with my sister’s family. As the kids have grown it’s gotten more interesting and challenging, but it’s always fun. This year we visited the UW Arboretum, which was in a lovely state of autumn. Here’s a few of my favorites.

We’re still booking portrait sessions for this fall, both on location and in-studio. Check out all the info here.

When  I’m shooting portraits, my goal is to capture something more than meets the eye; it should convey something more than just what the person looks like. With most people, but especially with kids, it’s all about gaining their trust and letting them relax and be themselves.

I love this image below in particular. I love how it has sort of a “Huck Finn” feel to it.

Chad and Jenny … the wranglers.
