What if you started treating your family photo sessions differently? Instead of the perfect outfits, every hair in place, perfect weather, the photo to share on social media, the ultimate holiday card photo - and thought about how its preserving your family at this exact time. The little last of the baby curls, the giggles, how you still rock your toddler, how they grab for your hand to show you the new bug they found in the grass, their missing-teeth grin, how they can just never seem to keep the knees of their jeans clean, or without a tear, how you love to dance wildly to the latest family favorite song, how you snuggle them late into the night when they aren’t feeling well or had a bad dream. What if you just let go of the expectations and spent an hour together loving on each other and making more memories. Everyone as they are. Choose a favorite activity, spot, song, snack - or just a blank slate. All that is left is each other and smiles and connection. Sounds pretty good to me.
