It sounds like a fun and energetic family photo with a lot of movement. The family of 5 is jumping in the air and posing for the camera, with the mom and oldest sister holding their skirts down to keep things classy. They are on a green lawn with a small red house with white trim and a red roof in the background. There are also yellow and red flowers in beds around the house and green trees on the sides of the house. The dad is wearing white with blue jeans and has his hands over his head. The oldest daughter has one leg kicked up behind her and her other arm straight up in the air. Her dress is being held down. The second daughter is wearing a white long-sleeved top and blue jeans with holes. Both of her legs are behind her back and she is holding onto something like a rodeo. The mom has over-the-calf boots and a red form-fitting dress. The young son is wearing a red shirt and khakis and is jumping about 2 inches off the ground.

"Trisha Koffman"

Brian was absolutely amazing. From scheduling all the way to final images. He was so easy to work with and accommodating to schedule our session. He was fabulous working with the 12 kids from ages 17 down to 4 and captured each of their personalities. He has such a great eye for lighting,backgrounds, and over all settings that we never would have thought of and created beautiful pictures of our large family. He is truly an artist. I figured it would be weeks if not more before we received any pictures back from him, but I had a sneak peak the next day and the album link 2 days later. The pictures he took are truly breath taking and we couldn’t be happier with the experience and final result. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.
