The Carlson Family Portrait from Jared Platt on Vimeo.

A family portrait in downtown Mesa, Arizona.

Some of my favorite images from the family portrait session.

I shot a family portrait for the Carlson family in Mesa, Arizona.  It was a fun portrait session.  And when I say fun, I should also say challenging… fun, and challenging.  It was a cold day and we had a lot of children who were not all that happy to be out in the cold.  But I think we got some great images. I know it was a chore for all the adults, but I think we all had a good time and some laughs over it.

Grandpa and grandma took a chance holding all the kids and they immediately began to cry.  It was was the funniest thing.  And I love the shot.

I love this shot.  It is a great moment between a father and his daughters.  We were between shots and I saw the girls cuddling up to dad and started shooting.  I have some of all the girls looking up and down, but this one felt the best to me.
