I believe that during a family session it should be full of adventuring, exploring and laughing together!
Little kids do not want to sit still, be placed in one spot and have to smile. It isn't reality and I know that for a fact since I have two little boys. This cute family who I photographed their wedding photos, have one very active sweet boy!
We took to an easy trail in Boulder, Colorado to explore, pick up sticks, look at bugs, give kisses and some snuggles. He chased his mom down the path, got tickles from his dad and everyone left happy! That is always my goal!
I even got a few of just mom and dad, which parents always deserve!
