We stress about the perfect outfit, only to have our children refuse to wear it the day of…wait for it…FAMILY PHOTOS!!!  Hair that won’t lay right…hey did I even get a shower?!  My kids are crying cause their hair has to be combed…clothes all over…kids needing to be fed…and oh ya we have to still pick out shoes and get out the door.  The house in disarray all to show up and look put together and 'happy'! 

The good thing is I think we all kind of feel that way in some form or another…so once my clients arrive at the session I find it’s good to run, try to laugh, relieve some stresss then take a moment for the parents to have their own mini session.

As parents we worry so much about the kids that we often neglect what started this whole thing called family…the 2 of us.  I find it super important to try to make time and have the parents get AWKWARD… up close and personal…in each others space again!!!  Remember…how we used to be when we DATED!!!  And I love how I get different reactions everytime.   I also love the story when the client views their photos.  They remember what their husband was whispering, or how he tried to lick their ear…or that they look so happy although they were fighting the whole drive there.  Either way it’s a memory and it’s one they will now have forever!
