A Snapshot of Shawn

February 18, 2010 by steph

This is a special post for us here at Shawn Grimes Photography. We don’t often post personal things here on the site, but this is very much a situation that warrants being presented here.

Each year for Christmas presents for his family, Shawn creates a full 12-month calendar of images taken of all of the “kids” in his family. This is the third year we have done this for his grandmother, mom, and aunts, and each year goes over better than the last. We take a full day sometime in November, usually, and make sure that all of the cousins are here in the studio or on location wherever we choose. Then we take a few hours and photograph every frame we need for the calendar. We like to do individual images of each person, family groups, and birthday combinations for each month. We also do a few whole group photos, which are always fun. The women in his family prefer for every one to be matching, so they usually buy the outfits for everyone and it works out perfectly.

We really wanted to share this here on the site to show you all a little more into our personal life and to give you some ideas for something you may want to come in with your family for.

Please enjoy these images of Shawn’s gorgeous family and you can probably look forward to seeing more next Christmas.
