Family Portrait..party of 30..no problem ..what about your family?

So if your are looking at these and are slightly jealous...contact me. A family portrait it's quite a conundrum...it's feat to coordinate and convince everyone...I know I have a family myself and to be honest after this shoot I'm all...that's IT this spring we are doing it! I have photographs of all the cousins and little people...but its those darn ADULTS that are so difficult....sorta reminds me of teaching. Listen it is a gift.. you really won't regret it and hey you can get everyone to chip in and share the cost. After the endless fb messages with your family and side bar bickering about whoever has the stones to actually coordinate this.. you'll be grateful..because ultimately your grateful for each one of them.... in their own unique crazy way. You are who you are because of them. The photo...that's your evidence, your heirloom. In 2015 Jamie Kaminski Photography will always be adding a print credit to any package...because you NEED the prints....technology will change...who knows what todays jpg will become in 2060...but a photo...well that ...that's timeless...enJOY!!! 

29...

There are a billion memories that I could share about this family I adore, but for right now lets just relish in the fact that ...YES there are 29 people in this photo above and YES they are looking. Now there are many versions and ya'll will be able to print the one you look best in lol..

but I needed to share... I was excited!

As for the photo below look at all the handsome young men in "Miss" Lolie's life....

A lucky gal for sure and I haven't even shown you the granddaughters and any other combination you could think of because...yes we took it! There may have been a large amount of marsh-mellow eating bribing..but I am not telling....

As for  this lovely lady below....We know it takes two and I believe the connections to heaven provided a warm December day, so we could ACTUALLY do this. A Mom the heart of a family...it never ceases to amaze me the power of one person...one person's love, one person's smile. A Happy New Year awaits and I am so grateful to be a part of it...much love!

Mommy Photo

I recently had a discussion online of course with two friends I made at grad school. I respect both of their opinions greatly. I was inquiring if one of my previous photo's was worthy of entering into a art show etc. or if it was a Mommy photo. The general tone was that it was a Mommy photo. I was appreciative of the input and it sent my head into a whirlwind. I don't think I necessarily agreed, although I understood the perspective. The truth is I don't know how to label my images anymore and I am not so interested in doing so right now. I am a mother, I am a photographer. I have always pointed my lense towards curiosities, environments and people that consume my thoughts. In 2012 my kids make the top of the list. I think it would be unfortunate for an artist, particularly a mother not to focus on the biggest journey of one's life..motherhood. While it doesn't define me entire being, it threads through every movement I make. So my new goal is to make sure I photograph my boys every week and after awhile see what comes of these images. Art or Mommy photo, as long as I am creating it doesn't really matter to me.....

The image above titled, "My Indecisive Moment" from this morning. I grappled with yelling at them for moving the furniture, jumping etc or to shoot it. Photography wins..it always does...
