My family flew in from Los Angeles to celebrate Passover with us a little over a month ago. I had this wild idea that it would be a great time for some family photos. After all, we didn’t have any full family photos with Nora in them. So, I surprised everyone with a family photoshoot with my favorite photographer, Lauren, just before the first seder. We were all getting dressed up for the seder anyway. It was perfect timing!
Photoshoots have become slightly more complicated now that Nathan is a toddler. He is not nearly as cooperative as he once was. So, instead of getting frustrated and mad about it, we had a “go with the flow” attitude. Lauren just kept shooting. Sometimes Nathan would smile and cooperate, and other times he wouldn’t. While these photos aren’t perfectly posed, they are most definitely REAL. Nathan’s personality and strong will are on full display here. And honestly, I think that is the best thing I could have asked for. Lauren captured real moments with my family and I love them. I cannot wait to frame a few of the photos to hang in our home!
This post comes in handy as I tried taking photos of my almost 2-year old last week and got only 3 good photos before I gave up!
You got what you wanted…regardless. And, you will have stories to tell that young man in later year. A wonderful idea you had….love it.
Awe all these photos turned out so good! You have such a beautiful family!!
