kingsbrae gardens family portrait session: the turner family

it is the end of the summer tourist season, thus Kingsbrae Gardens in Saint Andrews was happy to give us their space to wonder around while the Turner family was photographed. this was a beautiful setting for an autumn afternoon photo session, and the turner's were SUCH A FUN BUNCH to photograph!!! i so appreciated their willingness to try my crazy creative ideas and that they had many of their own creative ideas to contribute. our 90 minute photo session easily became 3 hours (definitely not the norm!) while we used almost every inch of the garden and sought to create many photographic memories.

you will notice as you peruse through the album, which is posted on my Facebook Fan Page that some of the photos seem kind of "awkward." this was quite intentional. i am not ashamed to admit that some of my inspiration was drawn from the very popular website awkwardfamilyphotos (you must check it out). the difference of course between my photos of the tuners and the photos found on awkwardfamilyphotos is that my photographs were entirely orchestrated this way! whereas the photos posted on this website are simply the product of unfortunate souls, bad photographers and (it would seem) the 1980's! i am so thrilled that the turners were on board with the awkward family idea... i think these should be on the turner's family christmas cards!!!
