What a family chooses to wear during our sessions together is completely up to them. I am very happy to capture whatever makes them feel confident and comfortable in front of my camera lens. Getting to work with a family who has vibrant, traditional clothing makes that even more exciting for me to work with! The bold colors and intricate details of the Vije family’s Indian culture added so much depth to the images.
The Vije family and I are longtime friends. Our kids have been classmates, we take part in the same bookclub, and they’ve become active with the Dell Miracle Book. I’ve been volunteering with this program for years now. This is a special project close to my heart that raises money for the local hospital.

Having familiarity helps create a more relaxed setting. I even got high praise from dad for giving the family the “quickest and smoothest session ever”. I take that as a big compliment from any dad, especially with the NFC Championship on at the same time! (There’s a little more pressure knowing the fourth quarter of one of the biggest games of the year is lingering in the back of some minds.)

Scheduling time together is one of the trickier parts of my job as a family photographer. Between holidays, birthdays and vacations there are a lot of obstacles when it comes to carving out time to sit still and smile for the camera. Thankfully the stars align, and on this day we were able to capture the magnificence of the Vije family’s culture.

One surprise addition to the elegant shoot was a good sized scrape across the youngest son’s forehead. We also had less than ideal temperatures to be working outdoors that day. Sure we had some unfortunate setbacks, but the boys’ sweet dispositions and everyone’s ability to roll with the punches got us some great photographs.
Knowing a family before the shoot definitely helps create a more relaxed, easy-going atmosphere. However, it’s not necessary. With a clear vision, some last minute adaptations, and a beautiful backdrop I love being able to capture the unique qualities of a family that make them stand-out and shine.
