I photographed the Curtin Family at The Farm in Phoenix, Arizona. Some years ago, I helped photograph Nicole and Harry’s wedding and have been in touch with them since that time. Nicole is also a photographer. I enjoy working with photographer’s. There is a trust between photographers… we appreciate the style of the other and turn them loose to do what they do best. So it was a pleasure photographing Nicole and Harry’s family.
And now, on to my favorite images from the photo shoot…
Meet the kids… all of them are cute, only one can walk and the baby boy can sit up for only a moment.
I was impressed with Nicole’s sister’s baby. She didn’t try to eat all the leaves. Nicole’s baby boy did.
I love this shot.It’s got beautiful color. I am very happy with it. For those of you who are photographers, this is accomplished with negative saturation. Try it. Too many people these days are pushing the color up or taking it too far down, when just a small 8% color desaturation makes things look just right.
Nicole’s little girl is doing a little twirling. Why not, she’s in the perfect ballet outfit with those furry boots. Right? Too cute. By the way Nicole, when my wife sees this post she will be coveting this outfit for our daughter.
The baby wasn’t too into smiling, and Harry looks pretty cool when he’s serious, so I thought this worked out quite nicely. I suppose that is a mantra of mine… no smiling necessary.

Dear Jared, Lest you doubt me, I have already bought this outfit – sans the boots cause they were out of stock. I plan on perusing ebay until I have the complete set. Don’t you worry! Think pink when sister is about 3. I have high expectations!
Love,
Your wife.
