I don’t do a lot of family shoots, but when the best man from one of my recent weddings said he wanted some captures of his beautiful family, I knew it would be a good time. And man, it was. To get all sorts of angles of three energetic, playful kids … if I did more shoots like this I’d never have to go to the gym again.
As someone who basically grew up like Huck Finn, with a 300-acre backyard out in the middle of nowhere, I’m always fascinated by kids who grow up with the city as their playground. But whatever this family is doing, it’s working, since everyone was an absolute pleasure.
They decided to run a little race down a cobblestone street. Little brother here was a big fan of false starts — he took off when I said “Ready!” But no one seemed to mind.

Dennis Pike - I used to be envious of kids that grew up in the city. Now I kinda feel bad for kids that can’t walk out of their back door and go walking in the woods for 3 hours without seeing a road, let alone another person. Looking back, I enjoy that it was a 30 minute car ride to the nearest stop light.
Great shot, by the way
