Fun Family Photos | Twisted Branch Photography

We have all been there…at least I know I have. You get ready for your family photos with your little kids and once you step foot out of the car and start shooting, things get unpredictable. But when the unexpected happens, it is better to just roll with it because you get some great, unexpected pictures! So at this shoot, we just kept improvising and ended up with some of the greatest, fun shots of all time!

Family Sessions with little kids are unpredictable!

So knowing that with little kids, the time window is short – I went in order of importance. We got the all family photo done first. The kids were all smiles

Then we got the individual pictures done – everything was working great! The twins went first to give the littles a break.

Next Big Brother

Here is big brother

Next – the littles. These guys are fun 🙂 Creativity is the key when photographing little kids

I started calling her “MIss Sassy Pants” this is why 🙂

As I worked with Miss D I started getting some fun shots

Miss D.

Miss D. was quite the Diva…she was having a lot of fun, BIG smiles and lots of giggles, and a tiny amount of sass! I got a lot of fun pictures of her!

Here Miss D…had been mad and tired of having her pic taken…I talked her into just a few more!

Then one last effort with the little man yielded this fun photo of the little Mr.

All smiles for Little B!

So we were mostly done – but we decided to try a couple more shots of the whole family …..and then ……well this happened!

THE KIDS WERE DONE! – So we decided to go with it and this wonderful photo came out as a result.

Here is the last shot – we tried to get all 4, this was the result. Priceless 🙂

So then this happened

And that was a wrap ….it was a fun time actually, we got some unique photos. As we headed back to the cars Miss D., who was a little overtired just sat down to pout…she should know better to act up when I am around with a camera 🙂

Then she noticed me and frankly I was a little scared. Miss Sassy Pants – was no longer sassy – she was simply not happy! But I got a hug anyways 🙂

And that is it…It started out great and then as the kids grew tired or hungry and then we got different shots – but all together memorable and fun!! You never know what you are going to get at a photo shoot with kids and at this one I think we did pretty good with some fun littles!
