Lexi, Grant, + Walter [Wilson's Orchard, Iowa City, Iowa Family and Child Photographer]

This was the first time I had the opportunity to photograph these three, and man are they adorable together! Lexi always takes a ton of really amazing photos of Walter, so I definitely wanted to make sure and get some family photos that she loved. Moms, I see you, I know you're always the one behind the camera (or dads, honestly). Even if you don't do it every year, I beg you to take the time to get some family photos!! Get in front of the camera, even if you don't like having your photo taken or feel photo ready. Your kiddos will love the memories, and so will you, I promise.

The B Family [Naperville Lifestyle Family and Child Photographer]

I was so lucky to see this family during both of my recent trips home, as they participated in my Let Them Be Little minis and then we did this little shoot to give them some holiday card images! With three little ones, sometimes the session can get a little wild, so we leaned toward a lifestyle feel for these and let the kids run around, throw rocks in the water (they really loved this), and sneak up on mom & dad. With that being said, we still got some great posed photos to show off just how adorable they all are! I like to do a good mix of both at a session, to give you lots of options when choosing your photos or give interest to an album if you go that route!

Which do you prefer? A more natural/lifestyle approach or posed photos? Which do you tend to hang on your walls or put into an album? Which ones do you think you'll look back and love in 10, 20, or 30 years?

The L Family [Plainfield, IL Family and Child Photographer]

This is only the second time I've done photos at Wilson's Orchard, and I just adore it!! I did two sessions while I was in Iowa City this weekend, and it was such a great spot with tons of little areas to take photos.

Ciarra and John won Tru Salon's giveaway of a family session with me this past spring, and it had been awhile since I had them in front of my camera so I was super excited! Porter and Sloane are some of the cutest kiddos ever, am I right?! We had a great time wandering around the orchard grounds and got some really adorable shots - how cute is the one of Sloane picking the petals off of that flower? Ahh! All the heart eyes, for real.
