I think it would be hysterical to share this common and tragic bond. Can we each send you one of these type of photos of ourselves in this type of setting and will you post them?

Faux lighting, faux backgrounds, faux props. Other than the kids' school photos every year, we don't buy into all that. BUT, not all photographers are like that. I have a friend who is a professional photographer. The vast majority of her shoots are done on location and many of them do come across as candids. It really depends on what her client requests. I'm not one for promoting blogs here and there, but here's a link to hers so you can see what I mean: http://ckbykm.blogspot.com/ By the way, I really like your family photos. Tastefully done.

I have a few studio portraits that my mom had done when I was little, but they don't look anything like these.... yikes! rue Hi Julia :)

We have one, We paid A L O T -- waaaay to much for it, but got a "free" one for participating in the church yearbook. Seriously, we look like we are part of the choir!!

But, I'm actually feeling guilty for not having a family portrait done for the last 4 years. Maybe your right, professional family portraits are a thing of the past. :-) Okay, I agree with you in that those family portraits look so outdated.
