Some of our favorite shoots are family sessions. We love getting to see a family grow, and change, year after year.

Recently I was able to reconnect with a family that I’ve been photographing for years. We’ve shot, Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day, and Santa Minis. Great families like this one are the backbone of our business. We so appreciate them coming back time and time again. This sweet family has 5 beautiful children! Mama is a trooper, and so patient with her little ones. In addition to the large group shots, we also got individual portraits of mom with each child. This is a sweet way to look back and remember each child’s one on one connection with mom.

When you are bringing a large family to a photo shoot, there are a few things that you should think about. Being a candid, lifestyle photographer I try to capture who each person is- and at whatever stage they are at. Whether a child is timid or outgoing we like getting a shot that shows everyone’s individual personality. Remember to be patient. The right shot, may take awhile to get, which just requires patience. We may never get that perfect shot, where everyone is looking at the camera, but we will get a great representation of each person. That’s what candid lifestyle photography is all about!

It is not easy to convince a mom to go in front of the camera, by herself. Moms are used to taking the pictures, not being in them. As women we tend to be hard on ourselves. It’s all too easy to only take pictures of our kiddos, and not ourselves. We like to remind Mama that she is taking these pictures for her children to remember her. Have you ever looked back at a picture of your own mother, and been critical of what she is wearing, or how her hair looked? Probably not. You look back at that picture and think how you have the same nose or eyes. How you wish you had more pictures of her. Get in front of the camera, moms! Your kids will thank you for it.
