Portrait Sessions last weekend

I had two family portrait sessions last weekend, one a location shoot with the Villartas done at Robbins Park in Davie, which is my favorite park to shoot at and a studio session with the Villacastins. Two families with the first five letters of their last name being the same...hmmm? Anyway, I like photographing families especially when everybody is in a good mood especially the kids. It is really difficult to photograph an uncooperative kid. When this happens I try to talk to the kid, give them gifts like unopened Kid's Meal toys and just try to work it out at first but when I realize that it's not going to do any good, I would just re-schedule the shoot. I'm not the type who would force a camera on a kid when I myself know that the child will not look good in the photo unless the intention was to photograph a pouting or crying child. I was fortunate that I had happy people to shoot at (no pun intended!). Thanks to my photo subjects for that and for aggreeing to have your photos posted in my blog.

Here are some photos. The Villartas first with Chris (Wowie) and Pearly, their kids Justrina, Julinna and Julian. You can click on the photo to enlarge it.


































And now with the Villacastins; Alex, Sheila and their toddler Ashton. They also had photos with their graduation gowns since they also just finished their Masters in Nursing. They are now Nurse Practitioners and my congratulations to Alex and Sheila for this milestone in their careers.
