Montijo Family Portraits

I got the opportunity to take the Montijo's FIRST family portraits! They are such a sweet and fun family, and there little boy is awesome! I love it how kids like to keep photographers on their toe's! Because I dont shoot in a studio and I do ALL on location photography when it comes to photographing children, not being in a studio makes it more difficult! I personally think cause the kids take it more seriously and they are freaked out cause everyone is staring at them telling them to constantly smile in a studio! haha.
When you go to a location they think its free for them to go and do whatever they want, and honestly I like it that way! Its a little more of struggle because they dont want to sit still so you are constantly running around after them! But that is exactly what I like to capture through my lense. The freedom and their personality! Some may argue this and that's totally ok. If you are looking for a photographer who wants your kids to stay put and do nothing but smile big then Im probably not the photographer for you, and thats ok. We all have different styles. I hope you enjoy these photos, thank you Montijo Family for putting up with my crazy ideas (as in putting your kid in a laundry basket, hahaha) You guys were a blast!!
