Family Portraits with Holly, Steve and Lance [San Luis Obispo Photography]

Holly called me for a children/family portrait session for Holiday Greeting Cards. I met them at their beautiful house in Santa Margarita Ranch. Over the years of shooting kids sometimes it's easier and more fun if you just let them be themselves, shot a lot and wait for the right moments. This is why all my portrait session involving younger kids are at least 2 hours. Lance was in a particularly opinionated mood about his wardrobe and which shots he wanted to do. He wanted to play football and needed to wear his "football shirt" and helmet. Eventually we got the helmet off and took a few cute portraits but the helmet shots are really hilarious! Side note: Holly and Steve are the couple that got me started as a wedding photographer 7+ years ago.
