One good thing about shooting weddings is that people who attended may eventually see your work and invite you to photograph them. After seeing her son Kevin's wedding photos, Robin liked them so much she invited me to do a family portrait session at her beautiful home in Floral Park.

I thought that this time, in addition to the regular shots, it would be a good idea to show some outtakes you wouldn't normally see .


We'll start off with the cute babies.


One happy and one not-so-happy baby.


Here's one of the outtakes with Sam giving Cash a finger in the mouth.


Sometimes, babies are just not going to smile for the camera. Cash just wasn't having it that day, yet these are my two favorites from the shoot. He has such expressive eyes!


Look at the emotion on his face. I'd give him an Academy award for this performance.


A little upside-down action with Sam.


The boys.


Here's another one of those outtakes that don't normally show up. One of the girls just couldn't stop laughing. I love cute moments like these when they're just goofing around.


Dana and Kevin, the couple whose wedding we shot in Carmel.


Thanks to Robin for inviting us to do this shoot.


Family.
