Dear Mom,

I have been where you are…exhausted, frazzled, wondering why you even bothered to schedule family photos. I want to encourage you to keep showing up for your sessions, even on the days when you don’t feel like it, or the days when you think your kids are at their worst. 

I will never walk away from you and your family. If your kids are having a bad day, we will keep trying. You will be surprised what we capture, simply by being silly and letting them be. And if it really isn’t working, we will schedule another time to finish up. 

My goal as your photographer is to capture you and your family having fun, smiling, playing, and truly being yourselves. I want you to love your images. But, I also hope you smile when you look back on them and remember how we got that silly face.

My best advice is that no matter what season you’re in, capture the memories.
