Family Portraits in Leicester

I recently had the pleasure of taking some family portraits in Leicester of the Burford family.  Mum and Dad (Marion and Brad) wanted a group shot of of them and their five sons.  They wanted an active, lively shot against a bright white background that showed everyone at their best.  


I took some shots of all of them together in one shot, but it is extremely difficult to get the perfect shot of all seven of them as I could get a great shot of some of them, but the others may not have such a good smile.  While I got some good shots of all of them together, I knew it could be even better if I took shots of them in pairs, so I could work on their expressions and then digitally make up a group shot from four separate shots.  This is the resulting photo.  I think it works well.
