Harrison Family - {Utah Family Photographer}
I work with a lot of great people every day. One of those people is Annette. For Christmas all her kids and grandkids were coming in town, and she really wanted a nice family photo of everyone together.
She wanted to keep the photos simple, just nice enough to put on the wall. Of course, I never do anything "simple", lol. Annette has a large family, with many grandchildren. I decided to try something a little different.
I had heard about doing Panoramic family portraits from another photographer, http://www.busath.com/, and thought this would be the perfect opportunity to try it out. How it works: Each family is photographed individually. This makes it easier for everyone, since I have far fewer little ones to focus on, and it is far less stressful. There is also and added benefit. One of the son-in-laws was not able to make it to the shoot with the rest of the family. But he and his wife were able to come to my studio the next day to have their portraits taken, so that the family portrait was complete. Once I had all the family portraits done, it was a simple matter of stitching them all together in Photoshop. The result is a really cool panoramic of the entire family - something far different than the traditional wall portrait. Sorry the image quality on here is not the best, but you can click on it to see a sharper image.
We also got one of the whole family together for a more traditional portrait. The gentleman on the far left was absent for the shoot, but by photographing him later I was able to stitch him in to the group portrait. While it is not a perfect solution, it works well for times when you just can't have everyone together.
