Like many of you, I picked up my first DSLR to photograph my children and somewhere along the way I stopped documenting my family's journey. Taking photos of my own children became more of a job that photographing my clients. When I realized what was happening I had a heart to heart with myself, completely changed my approach, and fell back in love with documenting my life. I quit trying to make my life look like an advertisement for perfection and started getting real. Now, instead of sprouting grey hairs, I feel a sense of peace when I pack my camera on our family adventures or click my shutter around the house. Creating raw, lively, and organic family photos is easy once you open up to losing control and start seeing what really matters in your own life. Come along with me on a trip down your own memory lane and let's start taking photos of our own families without losing our minds while shooting from the heart.
