Reality of Picture Day| Middle, TN Children's Photographer

I know we all love looking at the Pinterest perfect pictures of kids photos, but let's be honest kids have off days. They could be perfect little angels and do everything just how you want them to or they could cry the entire time. This family session turned out to be a good session, but there was a lot of crying and very few smiles. That's the reality of kids though, their true reality. They cry, smile, throw fits, have off days, etc. I know when you get to finally have family photos taken, you want them at their best, but having a photograph of them smiling or having one with them also being themselves throwing a fit, is a good photo as well. Embrace the perfection, but also embrace the other side of it. Remember that's reality for the rest of our lives!

Even though this Mr.and Mrs. got married in Gatlinburg, they wanted to have a session at home with the kids involved. If you decide to elope, you can still get dressed up and have pictures taken at home or after-the-fact. Sometimes when you book a venue out-of-town, you don’t get much say so on who your photographer is. I mean, I know the groom won’t want to get dressed up twice, but what bride doesn’t want to get dressed up in their wedding gown again.

It’s always a good idea to do an annual family session, but it is also good to do a yearly extended family session. Everyone changes, even yearly. Document your years together. Make it a family get-together, so everyone always has memories and photographs to look back on.
