I met this family last year from a referral. A referral from someone that my client could not remember so I have never been able to thank! So if you are that person who referred this lovely family – thank you and thank you again!

I was so pleased when this family contacted me to photograph their family again. Their kids are just so darn cute and mom and dad are super nice and easy going. Just a pleasure to work with.

Since I have some history with M, their SpecialT, I replanned how I would shoot their session this year. I usually like to warm up, hang out a little bit, let the kids check out my gear and props. But I know that M, who has a communication deficit, also has been having some anxiety issues. Knowing that my SpecialT families treasure those family (the whole family) photos, I chose to attack that first. I had everything set up before they arrived and put everyone in place for M’s anxiety had a chance to appear. And it worked. Beautiful family shot accomplished, then I just had to get the sprinkles on top.

It really truly pays to take that time to ask questions and plan your session with a special needs client.

Enjoy!

Sweet mama and son.

Just had to include this as so many of us have experienced the 2 year old in our own lives.

Silly little sister.

This is what I call the money shot.
