North Cheyenne Canyon Colorado Springs Family Session

Colorado Springs Family Session in North Cheyenne Canyon

Okay, I am going to admit something. Kids are amazing. I know, I know, you probably already knew that I felt that way. With this blog post, I am going to tell you why.

As adults, we naturally sort ourselves out into a space in the world that follows rules, cares what others think, etc. Things need to be in order. We (most of us) feel the need to please others. Am I striking a chord here? I do. You do it. We all do it whether we like to admit it or not. We strive to be the people that others want us to be.

Kids don’t feel that way, at least not until they are a bit older. Sure, we make rules for them and tell them how we think they should act. Being a mama to five sweet babes, I know in my heart of hearts that those are just unrealistic expectations, and sad ones at that. Kids want to be free and they DO IT. They want to laugh and play and dance and just be themselves. What’s more, they don’t really care if others think it’s weird or out of place. They just do it because they feel it in their bones.

I want to let you in on a little secret of mine. I want to be a kid. Perpetually. I want to dress crazy and make goofy faces. I want to talk gibberish and eat all the candy. I want to dance until the sun comes up and sleep all day only to wake up and watch cartoons and eat pizza and ice cream. I know that as an adult I can’t do these things on a regular basis, but believe you me, I DO DO THEM SOMETIMES!! Honestly, I wish that I could all the time. That is my why for shooting families and especially kiddos.

For the time we are together, I get to let that side of me out. I get to make fart and burp jokes and the kids laugh, I laugh and I am sure parents are thinking, who IS this lady. haha. I have a theory and an ethos that I solidly live behind when working with families. I promise you, if kids are having the time of their lives, their parents are too.

You know that feeling when you give your kid a gift or tell them how amazing they are and they beam from ear to ear. You can’t help but smile too. Thinking about it for a minute, am I right? That is the goal with the time I spend with families. I focus on the kids being happy and the rest is just cake. When kids fall apart, parents feel the pressure and start wondering if everything is going okay. When kids are happy, they forget all about those logistics and they really start to have fun with those babes they love so dear.

Does what I just shared resonate with you? Do you want to come journey with me and feel like you too can be a kid again with your babes? Do you want to let all of the stress go when it comes to a family photography session and just let things come back to where it all started? Being free. Being open. Feeling loved. Loving without regard. Truly having an amazing time with your kids? Then I am the photographer you have been looking for. Can we create that amazing feeling together? Reach out, I would love to help you with that!
