When you have young children, the thought of a family photography session might make you cringe.
What will they wear? How will you keep them clean for pictures? What happens if there’s a meltdown? Or two. Or three!

And because everyone’s still fresh, the images I get are natural, fun and really reflect the love in your family dynamic!
