As a family photographer, I thrive on creating an atmosphere that's relaxed and natural. So, with Michelle’s family, I made it my mission to ensure they felt comfortable and at ease throughout the session. Mom’s worry melted away as I engaged with the kids, encouraging them to be themselves. Getting those genuine smiles wasn't as tricky as it seemed – a simple question about the son's favorite ice cream flavor brought out a genuine smile that truly lit up the frames.
