Love is in the details.

While I absolutely love setting up unique shots for family photos, my favorite moments happen in between. 

Sarah lovingly straightening her daughter's headband in between photos.  Such a sweet moment.

As a parent, you are always checking your kids' noses for boogers and wiping applesauce off their mouths and licking our hand to wet their hair to try and tame that bed-head.  Am I right!?  Sometimes I feel like a monkey mom picking bugs off my baby monkeys (well except for the eating-the-bugs-out-of-their-hair part.)

A recurring moment I love capturing in my photo shoots is when a mom lovingly fixes her daughter's hair.  These tender and loving times end up being some of my favorites because they, quite literally, hold up a lens to real life.

Julie helping and her daughter, Makenna.  Love this moment!

I love the posed pictures, but to me, this is the story.
