Photographing the Gill family was a wonderful experience. I had so much fun spending the morning with them.
Speaking of family portraits, most of the people who talk about it, eventually end up in some studio somewhere only to get some pre-set poses here and there, just to get it over and done with, without really knowing what exactly they want in their minds.
But in Ranee’s case, when she contacted me sometime ago, and said she wanted to have her family portrait done at her home, I knew immediately that she was one person who knew exactly what she wanted!
Getting a great portrait is not about posing in such a way as to show a person on their best behavior as if in front of the FRU police, but to show the true beauty of that person when he or she is relaxed and enjoys the environment around himself or herself.
See, if you have the right mindset, this is what you are going to get. 
I really agree with your philosophy on taking family portrait. I especially love the photo which depicting the four members of the family. It is so warm!
