Family sessions always make me so stressed. Not because I worry about the actual session, but because I worry that the momma of the family will be unhappy with how I capture her tribe. Can I get the kids to give me smiles that they give to her on Christmas morning, or in the middle of a tickle battle? Am I able to make her feel as beautiful and strong as her husband sees her? And am I able to make it enjoyable enough that dad won’t leave thinking “We’re never doing this again!”? As soon as I met the Carter family and saw how gorgeous they all were, all those fears came rushing back. But as I began to sort through their gallery…I felt so privileged. I felt like I got the most adorable glimpse into exactly who their family was. I’ll let you be the judge, can you hear those giggles and see the sweetness?
