A family shoot is what mom booked for this fine day, but baby girl said, "Here's my once in a lifetime chance for my debut."  I guess someone in her former life told her, "You only get one chance at a first impression," and sis heard them loud and clear.  It's nice to let children do them at the photo session.  Restricting them to particluar poses and thinking they will look at the camera right on cue is ludacris.  The portraits are more natural when everyone is being themselves.  That may include a few tantrums or yelling passionately, "I don't want to." But hey, that's your family in their organic state.  I love candids and showing the authenticity of everyone.  This atmosphere makes memories and adds a story to each portrait!
