Family: Brittany and Kids

My friend, Brittany approached me about doing a lifestyle family session after her husband left for deployment. As I spent the afternoon photographing her family she explained to me that she is going to put all the photos on a usb and mail them to her husband. He has a digital photo frame and he will be able to have photos of them just being themselves and hanging out in their home. What a freaking cute idea!!! I just love that she wants him to have a piece of home while he is so far away. Lifestyle sessions are mainly full of candid photos. I do a bit of directing and include some posed as well, but these sessions are all about being in the moment and capturing the little things you do everyday. I loved getting to hang out with Brittany’s daughter and watch her creativity as she gathered all her stuffed animals into a group so they could be in the photo. It was such a lovely time catching up with Brittany too (we both lived in Japan at the same time) and taking some updated family photos. I really hope all these photos bring the biggest smile to her husband.
