Your family is your pride and joy, and I love documenting the different personalities, silly quirks, and authenticity of who your family is. I'll guide you through comfortable posing and candid-like moments, making your entire session natural and fun! I go beyond the "smile and look at the camera" posing. There will be lots of movement and fun!
