My first session with this family was years ago. On the morning of their shoot, I got a phone call from my Mom. My Grandpa had died that morning. I wanted to crawl into bed. To cancel the shoot. To start the 8 hour drive to be with my loved ones. The last thing I wanted to do was a photography shoot.
That was the day that I learned that photography could be healing for me. My Grandpa was my one relative who loved photography. He was proud of me and loved to look at what I was working on. I shoot for many reasons. My Grandpa is one of those reasons.
And here is the M family, many, many shoots later. This family is fun, playful and relaxed. I am so thankful that I get to be the photographer to capture these moments for them!
Dad had a little fun getting the kids to lighten the mood:
We played a little football. Check out E’s “catchin’ the ball face” in the first frame!
Then came the cupcakes.
Thanks M family! Love, love. love working with you!
