Fun Photography Tip: Photographing Siblings!

Meet Chase!!!

I had the pleasure of photographing William and his family two years ago, and in late May, I got to meet his little brother Chase! These boys are so adorable, and tons of fun!  We had a great time capturing some sweet & fun moments of their family together.

Here’s one of my faves of the whole family!  To view more, head to their slideshow!

Parents of two children know how tricky it is to get both children photographed together… especially that first year of transition to a new sibling relationship, and how hard it is to do it in a way that is fun for both children!  I often get asked by parents on how to best capture siblings without a torturous posed portrait.  One of my favorite photography tricks for photographing siblings, especially when the youngest is under 2, is to invite them to share space together on an oversized chair, or even better, a crib!  Then we sing, bounce, dance and shoot like mad!!!  Fun & silly meets well-contained! HeeHee!

Works like a charm…

To finish the session, we ended with a few classic black background shots of Chase, capturing the last of his “gerber baby”  moments!  Goodness, this little guy is adorable!!!
