Pier 7 Photographs with the Stupendous Stein Family

To be honest there are times when I have to generate the energy in the shoot. For what ever reason the family just isn’t feeling it and all they want to do is smile their fake smiles and go home. This is just a fact of life as a family photographer so I take it in stride and do what it takes to loosen up everyone. This was entirely the other way around. The Stein family came energized and ready to rock. We at Pier 7 along the Embarcadaro in San Francisco just as the sun was going down and the fog was rolling int. I suggested a few poses and they went right past those and started doing all sorts of dances moves and outrageous faces. And not just the children (which is usually the case). Mom and dad totally got into it and kept me laughing. Absolutely one of the most fun shoots I have ever done. I have to imagine that parties at their house are a rockin’ good time.

Thank you Stein family – you completely raised the bar in terms of how fun a family portrait sessions can be.
