Aside from the be merry sessions that I do in the fall… I made some room for extra sessions for families that wanted to update their family pictures in time for Christmas.  One of those families that I was lucky enough to meet with this one.    I will tell you that this beautiful mama was worried about looking awkward in front of the camera.  And so all she wanted was some direction during the shoot, but let me tell you that the only direction I really gave was for them to be themselves.  And look how awesome they look!!!!! Posing in front of a camera can sometimes be awkward, but when you get to be yourself… well, the camera captures who you are.  And oh my goodness… the camera definitely captured some beautiful moments between this family.  Not awkward at all!!!!
