The anticipation of family shoots stress me out. I feel ill-prepared to pose and arrange all those people. And it does stress me a bit.
But, with this shoot, I took a step back and realized, "I am here to capture their story, not the perfect poses ever or how cute everyone looks. I am their storyteller." Which was the perfect way to approach this shoot, being laid back and asking them all questions, I truly feel I captured their story.
I first met these lovely human beings at our homeschool co-op. The whole first semester, they were new at the co-op and so was I. Being the new family in the co-op is never fun, especially if you are very quiet (like they were). During the winter semester, I finally sat down and started talking the Kaleb and Kaylee and I was able to grasp a sense of how wonderful this family was. And then, I started talking to Mrs. Kemp and there went my impression of them being quiet! I believe I am truly blessed to have this family in my life and am so very privileged that they chose me as their storyteller.
