As 2021 comes to a close (I realize I never quite got into the groove of using "2021" after 2020, so jumping right into 2022 will be even more of an adjustment than normal) I am so thankful to be here in this space that I never really thought I would see again--using my creativity to document families with my photography. It's a blessing, for sure, to come back to this after quite a few years.

Here's our family from this crazy year. Never underestimate the power of a remote and a tripod for getting yourself in front of the camera. We got a late start, arrived after sunset, fussed with equipment I infrequently use (my tripod is usually reserved for stop-motion projects for the boys), I realized I never even put on half of my makeup...and it was just about our most favorite "family session" ever. We had a lot of fun, passed around the camera, and just had some laughs while avoiding any cactus. Then we went out for dinner. 

Family sessions should be fun. They should reflect your family and interests as much as possible. Be you. Have fun. Smile. Hug. Tickle. Cuddle. Enjoy. Just make sure to document your family in the moment and keep it updated!

Have a happy holiday and see you in 2022!
