What a fun image!  This was a recent session where three cousins who have done portraits together through the years came to the studio to have a black and white relationship session create their portrait for this year.

Summertime is the perfect time for images like this because the kids are out of school and there aren't all the scheduling hassles and pressures that can frequently turn what should be a fun portrait session into a chore.

Getting the kids together with extended family makes for a wonderful portrait and a great family occasion as well.  It also makes a GREAT portrait for kids in the pre-teen years - typically some of the most under photographed years in a child's life.  We have an entire plan of suggestions and ideas for your child's life in portraits and you can get more information here.
