Kids and Families in Madison WI

Posted on March 11, 2013 by Sweeney Photography

Monday is: share kids and family portraits day.

I really enjoyed spending a couple of hours with this cool little family unit. It was a very laid back, go with the flow kind of session – as you can see by the photos. This was one of those “ah ha” moments (as a photographer) that helped me see family portraits should be less about “posing” and more about laughing.

Coming from a family with six kids I know how special the bond is between siblings. A couple of years ago I had a big sister ask for a few photos with her younger brother. Now this was pretty sweet all by itself but her younger brother was probably one of the most adorable little brothers ever. He happily jumped in and did every thing we asked him to do. And when I say jumped in – he really did. No worries about the cell phone still in his pocket ….

This past summer I was asked to share the senior portrait experience with him. Still sweet. Still adorable.

Thank you Katie and Danny!!
