family photos are easy to master if you follow these instructions.
- MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS FED
- HIRE SAMI JO
easy as pie. when sami jo approached me to take our family pictures i had no idea what to expect. like any other unseasoned family picture{er}, i turned into a 3 month preggo stress basket.
“what the crap do we wear? hair up, hair down? shirt can’t be too tight or people will know i’m pregnant, can’t be to lose or people will assume i’m pregnant. i just know jonah’s cowlick will be creased the wrong way. i put my mascara on in the car but crap i forgot my pin to separate my eyelashes. should jonah wear a red or blue belt? jon’s top button done up or left alone? are we too matchy matchy. . . .”
on + on it goes. once my mind starts going it doesn’t stop. BUT, somehow sami warped my mind from stereotyping all family pictures as stressful. her zest for photography coincides with her bubbly personality perfectly. it screams happiness to me. she embraced the chaos that comes along with our family + turned it into magic. she’s so so so so so so so so good with kids. i can still remember how amazed after our session when it only took 20 minutes. that’s it. jon was a happy camper, jonah was a happy camper + i left with the biggest smile on my face. trust me. she good you guys. real, real good.
I love these! and I love Sami Jo! Plus, I want her secret on doing it in 20 minutes!!! PLEASE SHARE Sami!
