Also, if the thought of taking family photos feels more stressful than fun, please don’t worry. One of my surprising superpowers is being able to make you and your people feel comfortable and sneak in good shots even if it feels like all the family members aren’t all…um…cooperating. It can be awkward being in front of the camera and it’s understandable to feel added pressure when you’re responsible for all the other living beings, but taking photos should be a special thing not a stressful. You’ll probably even have some fun.
(Also, also…often the ‘imperfect,’ real-life, candid shots we get are better than the posed photos where everyone is looking at the camera. Just look below!)
