Matunuck Family Portrait /June 13, 2018 by Ron Cowie

It doesn't happen that often...

Summertime is when families gather from far and wide and often want a portrait made. As the variables of ever expanding families and schedules; coupled with easier modes of long distance communication, make it a very rare thing to have everyone under one roof at the same time. marking the occasion with a portrait is smart.

This extended family is a perfect example of that dynamic. I enjoy seeing everyone having fun. It was a casual affair and most of the time was spent photographing small groups, kids running around being kids, and the separate families. It's a great way to introduce myself and allows the opportunity to get a sense of the family and what the mood of the portrait should be.

The Whole Family

This is the extended family on the back porch, facing the sunset.

Cousins

Some kids are reluctant to have their photo taken. There were not those kids.

Family Portrait

I try to be as informal as possible and let people pose themselves. A lot of times a family wants me to have them do something. I prefer to show who they are not what they do.
