I'm a mom too.....

I totally understand the frustration of trying to get 4 people (my case)  ready for a photo session. All the screaming to get ready, their hair is not perfect, they are acting cranky or crazy, and I am stuck pulling all my hair out.
I truly believe the worst time I have photographing is when it is my own family. Anyone else I am calm and collected and can make you all look beautiful. So as you are contemplating your family photo shoot, don't pull out all your hair (or theirs) and remember it will be beautiful in the end, even if it doesn't start that way.

Check out my family for proof, you see the teenager smiling and thinking she is all good, you see Mom and Dad loosing it, and then little sister taking off.

This is before

And the beautiful after
