I once heard someone say that taking family pictures with kids is like paying someone to take pictures of your panic attack because it is so stressful (haha) and they aren’t exactly wrong. Of course exactly on the day we wanted to look the most perfect, everything went wrong. My kids were crying, didn’t want to do what we wanted to do for the pictures, and it went on and on and on. As a mom it was a really stressful time, but Suli handled it super well, and reassured us it was ok and normal. So we just kept going, making the best we could out of the situation. At the end of the shoot, I honestly felt quite disappointed, because I couldn’t imagine that the pictures would be very good, and we didn’t take some that I was really hoping to get. But then when Suli sent us the finished pictures oooooooooh my gooooodneeeeess, they were so perfect. We all look so peaceful and happy, and somehow she managed to capture the feeling of my family, even though it wasn’t our best day. I’m always going to love looking back on these pictures, and I definitely won’t be remembering how stressful it was—just how much I love my beautiful family.
