Over the past ten years, I used to take photos (portraits) of close family/friends in our garage. Surrounded by the sights of lawnmowers/garden accessories,golf clubs etc, the location didn't endear itself to bringing any visitors. With our family becoming larger once again in 2008, we decided to use the services of the mighty John Donoghue Construction to build an extension onto our home which thankfully would incorporate a purpose built studio.
The new studio brought a lot of new visitors to our home and my wings started to spread with regards to portraits and in particular....family portraits.
After a busy winter period, and afraid of falling into a routine of taking the "same old shots', we tried this set up which I feel works good, while at the same time being a bit different.
I don't think families should restrict themselves to the number of family portraits that they have in their home. The images below are all portraits of my family....from casual to formal...all having slightly different "feels".
As you can see, all images have the same subjects, yet have different feels and emit different emotions.
