When your homeschooled kids finally get their school portraits done, pups included! Look for the wagging tails 😆

**Okay, that’s not actually true!

But there ARE studies that show that seeing their own faces displayed in family photos can help boost kids’ self-esteem. It reminds them that they are loved, valued, worthy-and an important part of the family.

And honestly... who can resist seeing those precious faces every single day?

It’s one of the reasons I believe family photography is so worth the investment-and the effort it takes to get everyone in front of the camera.

Because these aren’t just photos for your phone.They’re reminders of just how much your family means to you.

Preschool picture day in fast-forward! 📸✨

Behind every finished portrait are plenty of giggles, silly sounds and little moments of connection. My goal is to help each child feel comfortable, have fun and let their unique personality shine.

It may move quickly in this video, but every child receives my full attention when it’s their turn in front of the camera. ❤️

Happy National Dog Day! Maybe give them an extra treat or belly rub.

I try to be as efficient as possible with extended family sessions but also make sure we get all the important photos for your family. That usually means some folks waiting to the side while I capture specific groupings. This little BTS on my phone has me cracking up this morning. Thank you to this family for being so great to photograph and making it fun. 🤗

Remember the behind the scenes I did a little while back for Jacan. Here’s the video we produced. If you have any video needs, let’s talk!

School has started… you’ll be walking the stage sooner than you think! It’s time to get those seniors photos on the calendar before time slips away and the next thing you know you’ll be done with college and starting your career.
