It's Nice When People Know How To Pose.


The Lintz family are talented actors and actress' who know how to pose.  It was so amazingly easy to take pictures of this family and their individual shots.  I literally had to give minimal instruction because after each "CLICK" of my camera they knew they could and should change positions.  I love this family!  Here are a few family and individuals of that shoot.  Comment and "pin" if you like!
