Some sessions just flow and the kids are just so happy hanging out that they go a wee bit longer and I get home and am overwhelmed with the moments captured.  Picking something to DO during your session can really help the kids and adults to relax and just be themselves. This family chose to explore a park and play at the creek.  And it is when they forget I am there that the magic happens!  I think that is why I really love the at home sessions.  It just happens naturally because kids are in their natural space.   When family's book they assure me they just need a family picture and one of each of their kiddos.  And  they get that in their gallery.  But I also hope they love all the moments captured from the hair pulling everyday mama moment...

to the everyone is smiling moment.  Sessions with Sarah Ann Photography aren't about a handful of captures...they are about a whole bunch of moments and connections captured.  Sessions are longer so that the natural and real can happen.  So little ones that are tentative warm up to my camera.  So that when you drive away your little one might even be talking about throwing rocks in the river with Sarah. 

It takes a lot of pictures to get the gems and my gems are probably different than your gems...since you will see different things than I do.  But one thing is for sure...with every family I capture I see a beautiful family and an amazing life.  I usually watch their video slideshow over and over all day.  And I say at least once to my husband, what a great family and life they have.  So here is an overshare (because I have already shared so many on Facebook) of some really adorable moments that happened during this family's session.  

Thank you Tinker family!  I hope you find lots of moments to treasure from our time together!
