I’ve known Marissa since high school, and we’re the kind of friends who are so alike that it’s downright scary. When she asked me for a Day in the Life photography session of her family as they decorated their home for Christmas, I was all over it! This is a really special time in their life right now. They’re anticipating the birth of a miracle baby that they never thought they’d have! Firstborn McKenna is going to be a big sister, after years of being an only child. Marissa struggled with secondary infertility, so this baby was a complete shock.
One of the things I hear most from people who are uncertain about how a documentary family photography session would go for them is, “But we don’t do anything! We’re boring!”
Um, no – let me be the first to tell you that life is never, ever boring when there are kids involved, and certainly when there are kids and three dogs involved, as there was in this session. This session is a life-is-never-boring case in point. 😉
This family’s three golden retrievers were absolute characters. As anyone who is familiar with the breed knows, these dogs are scarily-intelligent! Each one’s personality was so unique, and I enjoyed photographing how they interacted with the family.
