Family photos do not, I repeat, DO NOT need to be stiff and posed with everybody wearing itchy sweaters in the same color, because, let's face it, that's not who you are. I want to show off who you are as a family, and those perfectly posed photos just don't do it justice. Of course we'll get the Christmas card photo with everyone happy and smiling, but more importantly, we'll get some genuine moments of laughter between you and your family members. 

And I'm going to tell you now - I will let your kids be kids! We all know smiling for pictures and taking constant instruction for an hour is just not something kids dream of doing, and I see things can go one of two ways: 1) We make them stand still and smile and get pained looks and bad attitudes instead, OR 2) we let them goof around a little bit. We let them dance around to the music I have playing! We let them do a silly picture! Anything I can do to make the experience fun for your kids, and you, I will do.The end goal for me is not to have you walk away just from a photoshoot, but from a fun family experience where you make lasting memories. I'm just there taking pictures of it all!

the investment

There will always be a reason to put these off. You want to lose weight, you don't know where to start with picking outfits, or the most common thing I hear: you don't have time. But with kids, so much can change in a matter of months, and I believe that these memories are worth preserving, and preserving often, with more than just iPhone photos.
