The perfect time for family portraits!

Now is a great time to have professional family portraits created (not that there's a bad time). While many of us are busy with summer activities, there's often a good time to slow down long enough to come together for a fun morning or afternoon.

Just think:
• The kids are out of school/home from college/visiting your house with their kids.
• Summer means the chance to wear relaxed, casual clothing. Portraits with sweaters is so un-Texan!
• Morning or evening sessions take some of the bite out of the mid-day heat, and it's the times of day when there is beautiful sunlight for portraits outdoors.
• Without holiday-specific decor in your home, it's a great time for portraits indoors (any time of day).
• Why not make Summer 2009 a summer to remember? Kids grow up so fast!
• Hello! Family reunions! It's a great time to get a group shot of everybody there, but it's also a great time to document individual groups as well.
• There are a lot of creative ways to have a portrait made depicting something the family enjoys doing ... time out in the family boat? Playing soccer/softball/baseball/volleyball? Having a picnic at a favorite park? Chilling in the family room? Water-balloon fight anyone?

Then there are awesome ways to enjoy and show off your photos, from artistic wall groupings to a portable "smile book" to show your friends and co-workers.

So what are you waiting for? Schedule a creative family portrait session today. Call me at 817-675-1143 or e-mail todd@toddovermanphoto.com.
