Family's First Photographer

First of all it's such an amazing feeling to have been chosen to be a family photographer. Secondly, to be a family's first photographer is so wickedly cool!  Thank you thank you thank you lol!  This next beautiful family was a referral from another long time client of mine. They are cousins...so I knew right away how much fun we would have.  I was NOT disappointed!  We greeted each other in the parking lot with open arms for hugs and lots of laughs. It felt like we had known one another for ever!  That connection and rapport you build upon trust right from the start is so important.  How else are you supposed to make your clients feel truly like themselves and be as natural as they possibly can with a "stranger and her camera in their face?" lol  Just be yourself.  Relax and get to know your clients.  Ask questions, listen and I promise your session will go smoothly.  Most importantly remember to have fun too!

Meet the beautiful Vana and her family.  Aren't they gorgeous?  Such naturals too!

And that hair on little Ethan...gasp!  LOL love it!
