About the Project

Kicking off on the VeryAltF tour of ‘08, John Michael and Dalisa Cooper start a Pay-It-Forward project to help photographers get in front of the lens with their families. Something photographers are notorious for not doing. These are their stories.

Our family photo by Altf

This is Aaron Newell of Blue Rue Studio and family. I liked John’s idea of having the entire family connected, so I thought of using a tug-of-war rope to carry this theme through.

We had our portrait taken my John (we are family number 4) and were delighted to spend time with Misty Terry (http://www.altamodaphotography.com) with her husband Simon and two fabulous children Jude (4 years old) and Ruby (8 months old).  We had a little fun in the studio and then took it outside for some time at the creek–Murphy, Texas.



Ryan, Kelly & Vienna

Photographed by Stringer Photography in Coatesville, Pennsylvania.

Here we are as photographed by AltF.  Every time we drive by our “spot” our youngest points it out with great delight “that’s where we had our photo taken!”.

Neville and I had an absolute pleasure photographing Ryan Estes and his lovely family.  The threat of rain, thunder in the distance, a hungry and eventually, poopy little one, didn’t deter any of us from a fun filled time together.  You can see some more of the session on our blog.

Thank you again John and Dalisa for this wonderful gift!

Saturday was wedding free for both of us, so Wes, Danielle, Maddie and baby Millie came to Oliver Springs and battled the heat for their family photo.  Wes and Danielle operate Hope Photography out of Maryville, Tennessee.  They’re an awesome little family, and I’m happy to have taken their first photo with their 2 week old addition, baby Millie!
