Seattle Photographer Daniel Sheehan

Danielle and Greg Clark are another couple whose wedding I photographed a few years ago and have asked me to photograph the sudden expansion of their family for a photograph they can send out to friends and family for the holidays. Anders is the new addition to their family and what a wonderful boy to photograph. He was a joy.

I am often asked to photograph families in the course of my work as an editorial photographer, and approach it much as I would a portrait for a magazine. Look for good light and with a straightforward approach, show them at their best. Janee and her family made the assignment fun; the rare November sunshine made it easy. Late afternoon filtered sunshine is one of my favorite light sources.
