The Lack of Family Pictures

My husband is a photographer enthusiast so since the birth of our son, he’s been very active taking pictures of little Ollie. We have some fantastic pictures of Ollie. Looking at my online stash of photos last month, I realize that we have zero frameable family pictures. I want my son to be able to look back when he is older of pictures of him with his parents.

Our challenge is that when we ask someone else to take our photos, the photo composition always seem a little off. Granted, my husband has a complex camera. Regardless, we don’t have sufficient family photos for our keepsake.

We decided to do an exchange with another photographer friends of ours since she has the same challenge as us: lack of good family photos. We  will take turn taking family pictures of each other’s family. Each family will post-process their own photos to accelerate the exchange of photos.

Last Sunday afternoon we decided to pick a local park that has a variety of setting to take the family photos. Memorial Park in Cupertino, CA became the designated location. It was fun and relaxing afternoon where both little boys, more or less, cooperated during the family photo session. We were able to capture a couple of nice photos.

I think I’m going to have to regularly schedule these joint family exchange photo session with my friend, Nancy. =)
