Our Spring Family Session 2022

Goodness! Getting everyone’s outfits together and coordinating is a lot of work for a family session. After seeing all these photographs of my family, my babies. It’s worth it.

No matter how I feel about my body- the extra skin- no longer super straight teeth- it doesn’t even matter. The people in these images are what matter. The time we get to spend together everyday, and for all of our photos are what matter. If I could make every mama feel like this I would. Your babies are only babies one time, tomorrow is not promised to any of us. It doesn’t matter the baggage you are carrying, the tantrums getting a toddler dressed, the grumpy husband who says they don’t REALLY want to do photos. Set is aside- come do the photos! Give the bribes! Spend time with the people you love most in the world and get it documented!

I have a goal to get our family photos done FOUR times this year!! We have a 4 year old and an almost 2 year old. Time has absolutely flown by- and their tinyness and sweet baby chunkiness and growing out of them. Don’t let the season of having littles pass you by without having amazing photos to remember all their silliness and baby rolls.

I know it can seem like a chore to do the outfits, location, time & travel for a session. I want to give you a few quick tips to make this easier!

Use bribes for the littles – no matter how good of a kid you have doing photos can bring out their wildest!
Make this a whole thing- dress cute, add accessories (even for the littles!), plan on going out to dinner together and maybe getting a special treat! Let your kids know that this isn’t a chore, its family time!
Pick a location that the kids have space to roam – and let them!! As a mama and photographer I know how important it is for a break! Letting them run or just sit to chill can do wonders!

Enjoy a “few” of my favorites from our spring family session!
