Family Photography has it’s charm – getting everyone together – seeing the interaction – preserving the ONE-ness of your growing clan. I get it. I am a mother of a quad. I NEED it.
I also LOVE getting a sibling, an individual, an unique character in front of my camera. As a photographer, as a mother, I need this part too. Some kids shy away from this; some grump. The toddlers give me a literal RUN for my money. We play peek-a-boo. I get silly. Others quite enjoy the lime light. Still – it’s awkward for most. It takes a few minutes before they give me a good dose of their genuine personality.
I like the game.
I like the challenge.
I like the interaction.
I love the images that show their innocence,
their playfulness,
their joy,
and their true beauty.
I love this part of a photo shoot.
