Family Photo Inspiration

Friends. I hear you. I get my picture taken all of the time these days, but when it comes to getting my family involved? Um. Let's just say I'm glad this happens only once a year or so.

Today I'm so pleased to highlight the stunning photography of Kandise Brown, who was named as one of the 30 most inspiring wedding photographers in Canada.  Luckily for us, Kandise also does family photography.  Prepare to be blown away.     Posing Notes: They all look so at ease!  I love how they're doing their own thing....yet were still captured together as a...
Our family pictures tell our story.  The story of who we were, who we are, and help to illuminate our life's path - who we are becoming.  A picture can bring back the memory of Raines' sweet, vanilla-scented baby breath, or what it felt like to squish Pax's fat legs between my fingers.  Seeing the photographic evidence of my...
