As I sit looking out at the snowy ground I am answering emails for spring photo sessions.  That is right I am scheduling sessions for April and May! Yay, it is so exciting to think about all the returning and new families I am going to get to meet this year.  I already have a few pages with information about what to expect at a session (here) and (here). Today I would like to share with you some of my past favorite family photos and let you in on why I love them.  Okay, so are you ready for a major photo share?! Get ready for some beautiful families!

So after looking at all these gorgeous families can you tell me what is the same about all the photos and why I love them? In each and every one of these photos the family is connecting in some way.  These photos show happiness, love, and the unique relationship of each family. I try at every session to get that everybody sitting down and look at the camera and smile please because grandma realllly wants this photo. However it is also really important to me that your photos display the warm emotion and closeness of your family.  I photograph families with small children often and as a mother of two I promise you that they are not going to be small forever.  If your child is shy and wants to hold your hand for a while at the beginning lets make sure to document the tenderness of that or maybe they want to have an all out tickle war to start with because they just love being wild and crazy. I love photographing your family just the way it is and want to help you preserve these memories so that they can last a lifetime!
