SHAFFER FAMILY / UP SCHMIDT’S CREEK FARM

REPEAT CLIENTS ROCK!

Meghann and her lovely family have come to me for their second fall in a row! The air was crisp but we made the kids freeze for ONLY a few seconds at a time and it appeared as though it was a warm, fall day!

I give props to all families who take the time to perfectly coordinate outfits, dress their kids up, convince husbands, pack the kiddos in the car, meet up with me in the middle of nowhere and STILL smile for family photos!

I know the whole process is HARD with a bunch of kids…it’s stressful…it’s daunting sometimes. Sometimes parents might feel anxious that their kids won’t “behave” during a session…

My goal is to make the photo sessions FUN! I want to see laughter, giggling, memories being made, CONNECTION, emotion. Emotion comes in all forms. Kids are not bad for me, never even once! So don’t ever let that be a worry during a session with me.

Sometimes kids cry and THAT’S OK. You know why? Because then I get a glimpse of how Mom can console her child in the way that only she can. Sometimes baby girl only wants to be held by daddy…and that’s ok, too! We will remember this phase of her life where she was a Daddy’s girl.

So, what I am trying to say here is, portraits are stiff. Portraits are posed. Portraits are emotionless. PHOTOGRAPHY IS FLUID! Some poses are necessary but…my main focus will always be to capture your family, in every aspect of who they are. Let’s capture memories. Let’s capture fun. Let’s capture love.

The Shaffer Family was the perfect example of love in motion.
