Six Cousins
One of my loyal blog readers booked me for a photo shoot at a private beach club on the Jersey Shore with her sisters and all their boys. This is my favorite picture from the whole bunch, and that wasn’t an easy choice, since there are so many beautiful ones. But the reason I like this one so much is because of those beautiful, natural smiles.
Easy to see why those moms are so smiley.
They have six handsome boys between them. Here’s one.
Two.
Three.
(And a dad, or maybe an uncle.I was so confused about who belonged to whom. It was hard to tell becasue they’re all so close.)
Four.
Five.
Six.
That makes one big gorgeous family. (That’s the girls’ mom on the left. Hi mom!)
We started the day at the first soccer practice of the fall season.
First soccer practice of all time for two of our boys.
The day marked the end of summer — the beach club owner was battening down for the winter, for one thing, and hardly anybody was there.
But that just made it easier to get unposed shots (without a crowd in the background) in my “unportrait” style. I love how you can see the adults standing around in the background in this one. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow at a photo shoot that involves six boys under the age of 7!
Most of my pictures are candid, but there are a few “tell me when you see the shutter move” shots.
If this were me in the picture with my son, I’d print it, frame it, and put it on my dresser to stay forever. I love this shot.
Love this one too! I have too many faves!
I love their slide show, but this one’s private so if you want to see it, please email one of the sisters. And THANK YOU ALL for booking me to document this summer in the lives of those sweet little boys. I had a great time! You’re the BEST!
We’ll be seeing one of these families again in a few weeks because, as a loyal blog reader, she and her husband won my June contest for a free family shoot! And it’s only a few weeks away! Speaking of contests, no one has won this one yet!
