Family sessions with young kids are one of my faaaavorite types of sessions because you never know what you’re going to get!!  I always have a plan, but that doesn’t always mean it’s going to unfold exactly how I had imagined and I LOVE that!!!

I understand the stress of a parent trying to coral your kids for a photo, but the truth is, we only need one millisecond of everyone smiling and looking at me and then we can take a “break” and be silly – tickles, giggles, smooches, games – I keep shooting and these end up being the favorites from a session because they show more personality than just a posed, smiling family photo!

So parents – don’t stress.  Chances are we’ll get that one smiling photo, and if not, that’s this stage of life and it’s beautiful too. But trust me, we’ll have pleeeenty of beautiful moments of your life and family to cherish forever! 🙂
