W. family pictures

This family photo shoot was a perfect example of knowing when to take that image you had from Pinterest that you wanted to copy- and throw it out the window.  With kids in the pictures, you have to be truly flexible!  Unfortunately, every time we set up for a family shoot together, one of the kids was not pleased about it.  They wanted to sit on the other rock, they were scared of the bridge, and so forth.  And that's not anyone's fault- that's just what kids do!  But you know what, when I started chasing them around the playground, they suddenly switched to beautiful smiles and shouts of "take picture here!" as they did something silly.  When you roll with the punches, the result might even beat out that perfect image you were hoping for in the first place!
