This afternoon I had the honor of taking photos of my cousin Karah before her senior prom. With Emmy in tow we drove to her house to start taking pictures. It was so much fun! I wish more of my work included being around my family. Despite the rain we made the best of the afternoon and worked with all the natural light we had. Thanks to their sunny porch we were able to capture some great moments.
After taking photos at Karah's house we met up with the rest of their prom group - 20 other couples and their families! Woah! Everyone looked incredible!
Raise your hand if your family photo has ever been sabotaged by your child using only their weird fake smile 🙋♀️ You know the one.
One thing I hear time and time again from fellow parents (of babies, and of grown ones too) is they wish someone could snap their photo during the moments that feel the most real. The moments where the magic of all your people in one place together brings out the most authentic versions of yourselves. There’s a certain energy that comes out of each of us when we’re some place we want to be, with people we actually want to be with, while feeling beautiful in your own way.
