I was contacted by this mom when she saw a friend's maternity session on social media. She was so excited to have found me because she described my style as exactly what she had been looking for. In her words, "I want the beautiful light and the real connections between us, not some cheesy staged photos that don't show who we really are." My response? "You've found the right person." Emotional connection showing your family together and the love you have for each other are exactly why I love to photograph families. I want to photograph families as they are. No fake cheesy smiles. No cheesy props. Instead, laughter and joy. Big squishy hugs. Quiet moments together just being who you are.
A couple of weeks before their session, I went to their home to help her "shop" from her own closet and we pulled together great outfits for the whole family. Ultimately, clients decide what they want to wear: but images always look so much more beautiful if they choose to have me help style them for their session. I shoot in my specific locations weekly, so at this point I know what will produce the best images for my clients. Working with clients who share the same vision for their images and trust my input and expertise is an absolute dream.
Here are just a couple of images from their session, which we shot on Thanksgiving weekend... we could not have asked for a more beautiful day!
