A Walk In The Park
A few weeks ago I shared a few tips from the pros to the make the most out of your family holiday photo shoot {here}.
As I mentioned, our session with Candy Shop Photography took place in our local park- in the very spot I grew up taking my family photos. Maddie had a blast, as usual- laughing, running, and being her usual goofy self. And dad and Henry were total troopers {and dreamboats, to boot}. As you may have noticed from my distinct absence from most of my frames here and on Instagram, I'm a little camera shy- so I definitely had a few butterflies in my stomach over this year's shoot. Especially because it was at 8am, making it wholly inappropriate to have a helpful mimosa or two. To be honest, last year's was a hair before sunset, so it was a totally different story.
But despite these nerves, I made it through; relaxing after a few minutes of running after the mini. And in the end, I was beyond happy with so many of the shots from that morning in the park- reminding me that while I don't always love being in front of the camera, there is such an importance of capturing these little glimpses of our life together as family- Henry dog included; to freeze these little memories of "us."
