Sometimes I have a family photo session where everything feels crazy and disorganized and all over the place. I worry that I didn’t get enough, or didn’t get the right shots. Usually there is a 2 or 3 year old involved! When posed portraits are no use and instead there are puppets and word games, when that’s no use it’s 1, 2, 3 swing and endless games of peek-a-boo and hide and seek. When I spend a whole family session playing chase and crawling in the sand and do anything for the perfect smile. Because when it’s tough, I will do anything and everything for it. Then I go home and immediately load the photos onto my computer to check, anxious and worried… and I see that through all the chaos magic happened. Unique and amazing moments shine through and I start to wish that every family portrait was just as crazy and all over the place. That is what I got for my very first family photo session of 2018… magic.
