The style of family portraits has changed – there’s still an interest in studio portraiture but we’ve received much less interest in formal portraits in recent years.

The American lifestyle is more casual these days and our families want their portraits to reflect their personalities.

I love photographing families in their homes or in a favorite park. Everyone is much more relaxed and expressions are more natural.

I remember when our guys were this age – how much fun it was to go the playground and just run around and burn off some energy.
