Connection:

This last part is where it is all about your family! I aim to take a backseat in your sessions-to be quiet observer. I guide when needed. I prompt when needed. But I also try to give you the space to just exist as a family. To take one hour where phones aren't an obstacle, work isn't an obstacle and you can simply just enjoy the presence of those most important to you. Connection wasn't a problem for the Yaps. The love in their family radiated. And Dad was really the hero of this story. Having dad be engaged and enthusiastic makes all the difference in the world when it comes to family photography. I always tell the husbands, "your job today is to be totally locked in on your wife. You are her hype person today! Tell her she's beautiful, don't look at me, look at her. Your other job is to play with your kids. Nothing makes kids laugh like their daddies." 

Marc took his assignment next level. When he requested, "I want it that way" by the Backstreet boys I knew this session would be a dream. 

But, 'we are so awkward" you say (I literally here you saying it). Don't worry. Don't try and be someone you are not. These are your images and they will beautifully represent the uniqueness of your family.
