Family Session

leebase

We have good friends that finally allowed me to do a family portrait session. My wife will "borrow her man" to do things like fix our toilet, which he's done twice now.

When I came over to start, they had me take some shots of their dog....a bona fide member of the family.



Felt good about the couples shots....but I really wasn't thrilled with any of the family shots.



I have another version of this shot and I'm going to take the eyes from the dad and graft them over his eyes in this shot.



This is probably the best one, but I'm not thrilled with it.

The second one - too far away and too many blurry bushes. The man's watch bothers me, too.



The third one - family member spacing is too much maybe. Not too found of the variety of dress and position - casual shorts, slacks, hands in pockets - doesn't quite look like a family. That big watch on the arm. Too much background/foreground surrounding them.



The fourth one - washed out, the bottle in the boys hand, the lens flare on her pant, the bugs in the background, the surprised look on white-shirted boy's face.

Thanks for your input.

I agree with David's c/c, but I do think the dog picture is really great!

Recovered some of the family shots by using photoshop to transplant heads, faces or eyes.
