The T Family | Washington, DC Library of Congress Family Photos
If I were going to have a mantra for my family sessions it would be "let it be". It's very easy to have a vision in your head where your kids sit and smile nicely but the reality of that is that they're probably not going to :)
It's so much better and easier when you allow little humans to be themselves - rowdy or reserved and the spaces in-between. I am always confident in my ability to win them over and capture a smile - but it might not be the way your brain thought it was going to happen.
Patience is the name of the game when photographing kids and I have it in spades!
