Recently, I had the honor of shooting Fer and his family. Fer is a brilliant photojournalist who shoots weddings in Mexico. Do yourself a favor, and if you don’t know him, reach out to him. He is one of the nicest guys I have met.
San Francisco weddings. destination weddings. portraits. lifestyle.

Finally. Des and I have been wanting to get family photos taken for quite a while, but I’m a sort of artsy snob and have had a hard time thinking of someone that I could trust to deliver exactly the vision I had in my head for the shoot. Â Not that I had one initially,…

Great family portraits!!
abstract expressionism meets modern family. what a creative idea and how wonderfully shot. love it.
Amazing work… Fresh….Congratulations…
These are amazing! Your family is GORGEOUS.
Even smothered in paint your family is beautiful. This looks like it was a blast. Very fun idea, and I’m glad we got to see what special things that canvas was for.
What??? So freaking cool! Props to him for handling the pressure of shooting for you.
The best family shots I’ve ever seen!

You guys look amazing! Looks like you’d belong in a magazine editorial.
This is the most amazing family session I’ve ever seen. Great idea! Beautiful imagery.

hoooly cow. you and your wife are brilliant. this is the most amazing thing.
Yeah man ! You’ve got some really great shots there ! But what I like most is the general feeling, you can feel the warm, happy, loving mood of their family !
Stunning!
YES! That tilt-shift shot of your wife behind your daughter is just phenomenal. I love seeing people use the greater potential of those lenses. And of course, the whole sessions is great.
Love the last 2 shots would deinately hang that Art on your wall..great expressions from all the family
In the words of Jeff Newsom, those family photos are epic.

Your family is absolutely beautiful! And this shoot is exactly something I would love to do.

SO Fabulous — I LOVE it! =D
LOVE this, such a great idea; the emotion, love, closeness and fun of this family is captured in every shot. Great work!
Unique…Refreshing
I have few words but am completely inspired! I have a shoot with a family of 7, all boys, and i think I’ve just found the direction that will capture their heart, style, and character! Brilliantly done! I love the body shot composition and contrast of bad@$$ against nature! Brilliantly done!
This is incredible…I LOVE this family photo shoot concept idea so much! I’m a painter and my boys love art-making. We often paint together. This would be a perfect way to capture our family. The photos are amazing and your family is beautiful!
Ctar ctarrr!!!!
Now that is what I call original!
Love!
tout simplement le style de séance sue j’adorerai realiser <3

Hansel. He’s so hot right now. Hansel is a local photographer, and contacted me to take a few shots of him, and then to do a family session. I do NOT usually do families, but I always try to jump at the chance to shoot another photographer.

You just can’t have a good family shoot without a kid that looks like an old man. Amazing as always and the kid is just awesome. Did he get his degree postpartum?

Great stuff Erik…God bless
That reflection shot is freakin awesome! Nice work!
