This is really, really good! I was away from home when you posted this and when I ran across it the other day, I couldn’t help but comment on it.

First of all, this post has been a great encouragement to me to build a makeshift studio every-once-in-a-while. As clearly seen here, you can really get good pictures that way.

Secondly, I must comment on the professionalism of the set-ups. How you got eveyone’s heads all showing in the family portrait, I don’t know! It’s a hard thing to do, especially with so many people all the same height. Hannah, sitting contentedly on the ground gazing at her rose is an impressive image.

Lastly, the way the lights are set up creates a very natural effect and leaves no shadow to mar the professionalism of the photos.

Keep taking portraits! I don’t know about making a business out of it, but you can sure make it a ministry when the need arises.

I agree with Robert & Crystal. Photography should definitely be a future business. Affordable family portraits with a professional edge . And yes, the photo included with our newsletter was taken the same day.

With your great reviews, I’m sure we would offer you a very special rate for your photos .

Was the picture we received in the mail also one of the home portraits? Very well done.
It has joined the few other pictures on the fridge.
I’ll have to agree with Robert, ‘why not make a family business of it’? Matthew took really great shots at Jeremiah’s high school graduation. Since it seems to run in the family….:-)

Great pictures! Go Jenny! You are quite the photographer and must have had quite the team of helpers. Ever thought about making this a family business?

I especially like the one with Adam, Markie, and Kenan all together. Such great buddies! You can just feel the team spirit!

The entire process was indeed first class – from start to finish. Jennifer initiated the idea and was quickly aided by an array of eager supporters. As Jennifer said, it saved us a lot of money and provided an excellent memory and learning opportunity.

Much patience was also freely given to the one or two sleepy folks that day who were having difficulties posing .

I appreciate you all!

This is such a good idea for getting family portraits frugally! In my opinion, your pictures look as good as studio shots. Also, the routine trip to a studio would be much less fun than the family project you described. We ended up with a time shortage this year, so used an ironing board draped with a shower curtain for our family portrait. How did you get the perfect lighting, and get the cloth to stay in place?
