He did family portraits for us recently and they're great. It was my grandparents wedding anniversary so the whole extended family was there to be snapped - kids and all. He was really good with the little ones who didn't want to sit still and no amount of crying/screaming/fighting kids seemed to faze him, the results were really good!
