Hey guys, I recently did my first outdoor family shoot. I would really appreciate any CC on my work. Thanks! You can also check out the slideshow on our blog.

Grace and Peace,
Crystal
A fun light shot...
This one was too funny, the mom asked her girlly to look at something really fast and then kissed her man, the daughter was clueless! ha!


There is such an awesome closeness between daddy and daughter!

My favorite family picture of the day...

And of course there are more pictures on the blog.

Really, really good pictures. The "posing" is so natural. I would LOVE these if I were that dad.
1 and 3 get my vote, too.

Hey Jules, it is our commitment to give 50% of the session fee away to one of four different charities that help children in some way.

Thanks everyone for your feedback! Much appreciated.

All the pictures are lovely but no'1 is my favourite. That's probably the first bit of sunshine i've seen this year!! We've had rain or cloudy skies nearly all year lol! Seriously, that's an advertising shot, submit it to somewhere like iStock, i'm sure that would get used a lot.
Nice work.

These are fantastic!!!!! I love the backlighting in the first image and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the composition in the 3rd! Reminds me of Tara Whitney - do you follow her stuff? I always love her creative compositions on family shoots ...
