Thanks Qarik! The family was a lot of fun. Very easy to work with!

I was curious if anyone else had feedback about this set? I've never shot families before, so I'm curious of what you guys think! CC is always welcomed

I really like #5, what length was the lens at in that shot? And I like your low position.

They are all really fun. 10 is weird with the house behind them, but maybe they wanted it?

I think these are more fun than most boring portraits.

Well done.

Thanks!

All of these were shot on Canon's 35L f/1.4 lens. As for 10, it was my idea to position them there. I did it more for the open field rather than the house

The family must of had a blast with you, they seem to be having a great time while showing their love for one another. The last image tells alot about them with the various framed photographs behind them.

I have 3 nits.. in #11 you could do your client a favor by cloning out the exposed skin at waistline of subject on the far left, it is distracting and not flattering. I'd clone out the pocket too. In #3 and #5 the smallest member looks very small because she is farther away from the camera than larger members. Think about switching her placement next time with a larger person . You would be making them both look better. In 3 her head is about 50% smaller than the gal in front on the right. This could be fixed in PP but
is much easier to prevent. I like the house in the background, I assume it is theirs, that is a great idea!
Oh and watch the horizon, some seem to tilt down on the right, but that is a easy fix.

Oh they certainly did! I wish I could have easy going clients like them all the time!

As for #11, thank you for pointing that out! I totally missed that, and now it bothers me..go figure haha.

Good points for 3 and 5, I'll take that into consideration for next time. The subjects in the back were scattered, rather than lined horizontally in the background. Maybe having the subjects in the back in a flat plane would fix the size problem. I'll be more aware of this for other family shoots. Thank you for the feedback!
