This Autumn has been such a beautiful season for family photos. It was such a blessing to photograph so many sweet and beautiful families. I love to create a carefree environment so that everyone can feel free to be themselves. Every session has felt like such an adventure. We explored together, finding the beautiful light and locations. We played, laughed, and traipsed about the mountains. It truly comes across when families stop thinking about the camera so much, and just start having fun together, like in this session with the Ramsey Family in Big Springs Park, UT. The “perfect photo” is an elusive goal. Instead, its so much more beautiful to let go, love your people and have a blast together. Let yourself feel all of those feelings of gratefulness in the moment, and it will come back to you time and time again in your images you’ll keep for a lifetime. Who knows, maybe even your grandchildren down the road will look at these and think, “They must have really loved each other.” I sure hope my grandchildren can see that we had so much fun together. As it turns out, letting go of the “perfect photo” is the best scenario for making the most cherished images.
