Brian Mitchell | Photography » Blog

I had the pleasure of shooting some family portraits for Anne, Tod, and Margaret a couple of weeks ago. We went to my favorite place for photographing families and I think we captured some great moments. These are just a few of the shots from that morning. I’ll post more later when I have time.

From now on, I’m going to post all my family and personal photos to my Zenfolio account rather than Flickr. For one, you only need a single password to view the photos on Zenfolio, whereas you really need a Flickr account to view the photos there. Not surprisingly, not all of my extended family and friends want or need a Flickr account of their own. Ordering photos through Zenfolio also appears to be a bit easier than through Flickr. You don’t need an account to order photos, just a credit card.

The second reason for going with Zenfolio over Flickr are the display options. With Flickr, you’re basically stuck with their photos on a white background display. With Zenfolio, I’ve got a host of display and color options.

Lastly, I was able to map photos.brianmitchell.com (which is probably easier to remember) to brianmitchell.zenfolio.com for easy access.

Don’t get me wrong, I still love Flickr and will still post photos there. However, those will mostly be of the artsy, self-promotion sort rather than family shots.
