these sessions are a reflection of your family exactly as it is. If you have crazy kids, I'll let the kids be crazy. If you have a newborn and have baggy eyes and a messy house, i won't make you clean it up before i come over. your real life is worth documenting.  I want you to look back on these photos in 20 years and remember not only what life looked like in these fleeting days with small children, but what it felt like as well. Don't worry though, i'll also guide you through posing and bribe the kids to get a good christmas card shot. We know what grandma wants to see!
