Jinqiao Park Family Photo Shoot, Shanghai

I really love a family photo shoot.  There is nothing better than a happy, chunky baby, and parents who are totally in love with their little family.  It is wonderful to take photos of a family as happy and adorable as the Pidgeon family.  They were so relaxed!  They are probably the most relaxed people I've ever taken photos of!  Then again, I know this family personally, and 'chilled' is the perfect way to describe them.  They were just happy to be in each other's company, and viewed their photo shoot as a bit of fun.  It really is amazing how much of a difference it makes to the end photos having relaxed people in front of the camera. 

So, my advice to anyone coming up for a photo shoot is to treat it like the Pidgeon family did; like it's an opportunity to spend some quality time together, where someone just happens to be taking photos of you!  The end results will be like these gorgeous family photos - happy, relaxed and totally adorable.  You guys are just so cute!
