After 6+ years of photographing beautiful little family, we decided to try something different this year — see if we could do an entire family session without a single “look at the camera” moment.
You see, family sessions can be stressful for everyone — even the kids. So we thought, what if we went to their favorite place and let them do their favorite thing: just. play. No posing, no directing, just organic, child-led joy. And it was better than we could have dreamed. There were no meltdowns, tears, or tantrums. The kids didn’t fight or get overwhelmed.
It. Was. Everything.
(See how much the kids have grown since our last session)
How many things can I say about how much I adore the Gomes family? 
There is something so incredibly special about photographing a family in their own home — where shoes are optional and kids feel 133% safe to be themselves.
