we were very wary of taking family photos for christmas cards this year, we have a 5 month old and a 2 year old and were sure the photos would be disastrous & a waste of money. someone on a blog i like recommended him so we just decided to go for it. we met in a park - he was right on time & we started shooting.. we had a few posed shots & mostly just natural - they photos turned out so great.. we all have natural smiles & laughs, we were just having a good time outside like we usually do as a family, and he captured it perfectly! we also got a fabulous 8x10 from him which was touched up (wasn't expecting that), meaning little to no wrinkles on yours truly, that was a bonus! stuart comes highly recommended from us.. a photo session that was a great time, along with photos that reflect it!!
