The Rest of the Story

The family photo.

How often have you entered someone's home and the first thing that you saw was their family portrait?

Seems like lately I've gotten alot of jobs taking family photos.

While a traditional photo like the one below does depict a nice clean cut family, we have seen thousands of them. There is nothing original about it, and it says nothing about the family.

With that being said, I had no idea that on a recent photo shoot I had captured a "real" family photo.

You see, as the gorgeous mom sat beautifully posed while I took her photo... she was completely unaware the kids were duking it out in the background.

Is the picture awkward... yes.

Do people stop and do a double take when they see it... yes.

Is the picture a conversation piece... yes.

Is the picture a true family photo that depicts life with two teenage kids... definately.

Is it the families favorite family photo of all time... probably not.

But I will say, that is one of MY all time favorite photos. I think the picture really tells the "Rest of the Story."
