If all the women in your family are this lovely, you must beam every time you're around them. Their smiles are so much more relaxed and real when the photographer is family, particularly a grandpop. I shot my grandson's senior photos last spring and it was so much easier and productive than any other kid. They also are confident you'll make them look great, my grandson knowing I'd blend out the old surgery scar on his neck (and the removal of the ram's horns from his head). When I was in school we had a single b&W photo taken, in a suit and tie, body and head at the same angles as every other kid in the world. Today the kids want a much wider range. I shot 16 finished images of him and he's looking for a few more come spring. Is it just him or did your granddaughter request more than one as well? Great portrait job, by the way, Mac. 5 stars out of 5.
