Family portraits

As my own family gets older it’s become more important to me to start gathering images and photos that I have from my childhood to now. However I also wanted to make sure that I created images of my grandparents as well.

I have mentioned before that I was doing portraits of family. And I started with this one. Meet my Grandfather. John Remus I. Those of you who know me personally, know that my name is John Remus III. And everyone has always asked “Is your Grandfather the first?” Yes. Yes he is.

So, this was the first of three portraits I needed create of my grandparents – one has already passed away, long before I picked up a real camera.

And, also my grandmother, from the Remus side of our family.

I still need to make a trip down to San Diego for other family members. And also start to photograph my aunts and uncles that are scattered around the state. I’m picky with my work, especially when it comes to my own family. But the reason I’ve waited this long into my career is that I knew I wanted them to look and be edited a certain way.

As I continue to photograph my own family, I’m not entirely sure how much of them I will share here. But, I’ve had a few people ask me openly about posting these. I’m flattered how much everyone has enjoyed my portrait series and since these shots somewhat fall into that, I felt that I should go ahead and post them.

I apologize for the lack of posts this month, but, the majority of my time has been centered on wedding edits and planning out June. I should have many more images to come in the next few weeks. I’ll also be in the Bay Area a couple times next month with various shoots/projects!
