I enjoy watching how Damon and Emily interact with their daughters. They seem to have a wonderful balance of love and tenderness while being on top of teachable moments and discipline. How cute are the photos of Damon with Harper? She clearly adores her father. Adjusting to a new sibling can be a little bit hard for kids. Damon and Emily have done a great job of walking with Harper through it and making sure she knows she is still just as important to them.
Watching siblings play and interact at family photo sessions is always interesting. Some siblings tease, some wrestle, some even argue. I never expect kids to be perfectly behaved. Often, the adults struggle to listen to directions themselves. Not everyone feels comfortable and confident in front of a camera. That is ok. I make every effort to create a lighthearted and comfortable experience for all my clients. Sometimes, that means tossing the plan and trying something different.
Fall was just at its peak at the Toledo Botanical Garden when we met for these portraits in November. The boys were quick to smile and help their sister have a good time too. I love seeing siblings interact with each other. Toward the end of the session we let lose and played in the leaves. Elaina did not seem super impressed, but the boys loved it.
