We love working with the Eagles family and this was no exception. As we captured their wedding, maternity, newborn, cake smash, and yearly sessions. It’s been amazing watching Korban grow up thew each one of our sessions. This year we are excited to be capturing Ashley (who is Chris’s Sister) and Wesley’s wedding this spring and celebrating the joyful event with the whole family. During this session we also got to capture a few family photos and a few engagement photos of Ashley and Wesley.

We know it can take a little time for your family to warm up to the camera and thats ok. We tell silly jokes or dance around like fools so you feel better about being in front of the camera. At the end of the day we strive to make any session a timely and efficient, yet fun and relaxing experience.

Some tips for making family photos a fun experience:

Don’t go into the session hungry.

Bring a change of clothing for children

Offer rewards for the whole family (Dad’s love this)

Don’t deviate from your kids nap time schedule

Don’t rush while getting ready, give yourself ample time

Pick a photographer you vibe with

And above all, laugh and go with the flow!
