Real Life

 Meet Ashley and Tyler and their two darling girls! They decided on a Holiday Mini Session this year. (FYI there are still a few spots for the Dec. 10th date.) One of my favorite parts of portrait photography, and family photos in general, is getting to watch each family's dynamic. While we strive to get a perfectly posed photo with smiling faces, like the one above, it's not always reality. When little ones come into the mix I've found I have about the first 5 minutes to try and capture one of these shots and the rest of the time is up to them. I get to chase them around and try to encourage the family to just be themselves as I sit back and shoot away! I love to see what I get when I get home from a shoot. I love to capture "real life".

 This is my favorite photo of the shoot! You ask, is it posed? No way, Jose!! There's no way I could have thought of something so perfect. It's called divide and conquer at it's finest! Way to go, parents :)

 These little faces running toward you are what makes parenthood worth it all!


Extra thanks to Tyler and Ashley for being so laid back and fun to work with!
