The De Hoyas Family Portrait.
What do children and animals have in common? Perhaps if you don’t like children you may think they are both the same. But in my world children and animals are the most difficult subjects to work with. That is - in terms of communication and getting them to stay still.
The key is to work fast and before you start shooting have everything in place - especially the camera settings. The last thing you want to to (in any portrait scenario) is to be fumbling around with your camera while your subject is waiting for you. Pets will begin wandering off the set and children may lose focus and babies will fall asleep on you.
It was over a year since the DeHoyas family had professional pictures taken. Plus getting their kids mobilized to a studio can be a mission. She loved my work and the idea of having a full camera studio come to her place couldn’t have made things any easier!
During our consultation we discussed several ideas. Such as father / daughter, just the girls, just the boys, etc. But there was a picture I have been wanting to do - but required at least 4 people. Given they’re a family of 6 the DeHoyas family fit the bill. I pitched the idea of having a profile picture taken in black and white of her family and she was game. And Voila!
Here are some other images I created during our session...

Awesome portrait! I just had a son and Im doing this. Following.
I'm glad you dig it! The key is to shoot everything in manual mode and get the light (with some diffusion) as close as possible to your subjects. If I can be of assistance, don't hesitate to reach out. Have a nice weekend.

Thanks for the kind words. :D
very creative, you are made this so perfectly man all the best
Thank you. ;D
welcome :-)
The idea is again awesome! It must be so difficult to get the right click especially with babies as you say! I have already been a model photo and I know how difficult it is to repeat the pose several times to have a good result! But the result of this picture is impressive! Congratulations to all and good luck for the contest =D
I wish I can take the credit with the idea. LOL It's been around for a while.
Truth be told the baby was ok. But the older brother is severely autistic and that was the challenging part. But we were all stunned that we were able to get the shot!
Thanks for doing the contest as it gave me something to share on Steemit. Have a good weekend!
