Our friends the Tidwells joined us for some fun out at our place in Mason this week.  I’ve been wanting to take a stab at formal family portraits, and was excited to use some of my new knowledge on posing families in a natural and fun way. I’d say, over all I’m happy with the images I was able to capture, and I also learned a ton in the process! It was late in the day, the weeds were thorny, and the kids were tired, so we only had time for a few poses in one location.  The setting sun and the fall grasses were just perfect though!
