A Family Thing

May 7 2026 | By: Wehmeier Portraits

One of the few times I’m in the photo.

My kids are sooooo used to having me photograph them that, if they realize what I’m up to,  it usually results in one of a few faces… screwy face, funny face, not again face, or mad face.  There are other faces that show up, for sure, but those are the fun ones.  I often tell our clients that my kids are my worst subjects.  As the English proverb states, familiarity breeds contempt.   But held within these attempts to ruin the image contain the possibility for a  revealing portrait.  Like The Three Princes of Serendip.
