Vanessa, it was an absolute pleasure to work with your family again. Everyone brought their A-game to McKay Lake for a mini family session. I know you were worried about your corgi Clover, but she did great too!
I had a good chuckle over your comment about remembering this season of life as “driving a minivan 4-5 hours a day to take your kids to their activities.” It reminded me of back when I was driving three kids around and dubbed my car “Mom’s Taxi.” I considered buying the bumper sticker, to make it official.
My favorite moment from your session was while we were photographing Liesl, Heidi, and Rhys with Clover. Their personalities shine through as Clover “speaks” on command. She loves all her humans and they love her in return. That was awesome and it’s such a fun family moment.
Sometimes it really is the little things that spark the most joy.
You made the time for family photos and that’s cause for celebration in my book. As kids get older, schedules only get more hectic and the best of intentions can go out the window. That was my struggle anyway.
This season of life is fleeting and these photos are a testament to how precious it is. Plus they’ll make a fabulous Holiday card!
I hope that you, Steve and the kids have a wonderful time on the field–and along the sidelines. I look forward to hearing all about your next family adventure. And happy hiking!
Until then, here’s a handful of my favorite photos from your family’s mini session at McKay Lake. Enjoy!
Best, Theresa
