Another great event organized by the hardworking staff at the chamber. Special thanks to Chauka Reid for being a spectacular quarterback, Denise Staples for being the yin to all that yang that Chauka brings, and Donna Edwards for balancing the books and making sure everybody gets paid. As evidenced above, David's job is way too easy. He'll get no additional accolades here.

It's ALWAYS a great time to get great family photos!

I shoot an alternative to the traditional, studio family portraits called Family Photojournalism. Family photojournalism is about documenting your family in a way that is true to life. There's no better place to do that than in your home or at some other place familiar to the family where everyone is relaxed and being themselves.  

Just think of it like having a fly on the wall with a camera. We'll do some traditional portraits in the first few minutes and the remainder of the session is about capturing candid family interaction.

Very little planning is required for this style of family photography. Everybody doesn't need to be dressed the same. You don't have to coordinate schedules and haul everyone to a studio. The only thing that's really required is your family engaged in some common activity...whatever stuff you guys normally do is fine. 

** Through December 31st, 10% of your session fee goes to the PTA of your choice **
