Door County's Crossroads at Big Creek | Winter Family Session for a Wedding Couple
The keys to a successful family session are to have fun, get the children involved, and celebrate the group as well as each individual. As Andrew and Elianna prepared baby Aria in her stroller, I gave the kids my camera to take pictures of each other. It’s a simple act, but it broke the boundaries associated with a camera, and they were immediately receptive to having their photographs taken.
Door County's Crossroads at Big Creek | Sally and Jason's Family Photography Session
We began with a traditional family session, and all I can say is WOW they were so photogenic! It always makes my job easy when kids are smily and giggly, and that’s exactly what I got. After our formal shots, Sally and Jason took turns tossing the littles in the air, and their expressions were pure gold. We finished with a quick game of tag before heading back to the car for juice and cookies.
We spent the second half of our session getting couple’s shots.
“Good luck,” Sally said, “we’re so awkward in front of the camera.”
That’s what they all say :)
Door County's Crossroads at Big Creek | Mini Winter Session for a Friend
On our way out, Linzee told me that their session was different than everything they’ve had in the past. She said that all of their other photographers just told them to smile for the camera, and she really appreciated how we created experiences and focused on her family’s personality. I wouldn’t have it any other way :)
