I don’t post a lot of posed family photos on here becuase I want to attract those who like more candid, natural, images,

BUT I actually begin each session with a few posed shots to warm everyone up.

I am a stickler for kids giving me real smiles and I will work my tail off to get real smiles from kids!

Here is one from the beginning of a recent Mini Session with this gorgeous family that I love

because even though all eyes are on the camera,

they all look so natural and the kids are giving me real smiles.

Plus, it has that classic, timeless feel to it.

And not to mention- I love the love coming out of this!
