this family volunteered as tribute at The Hybrid Co in nashville this year to model for a whole gang of photographers. they loved each other through my obnoxious narration of everything i was doing + noticing, played it cool while every photographer took their turn directing them and cooing over their every perfection. (if you want to watch how i run a family shoot and get your own gorgeous images with me holding your hand–maybe literally–then sign up for Hybrid Co 2020 in San Diego! use code SCHULTZ for $50 off at checkout. rad, huh! the hand holding and the discount. there will be group hugs and dancing, guaranteed. proceed with caution.)
so seeing the sams family–i know, i KNOW that family life is not perfect, and that no family has the corner on it, no bunch of us have it all figured out, but the more i see families close up this way the more i wonder if they maybe maybe do? it’s good practice for me, to take all those little slices of perfection packaged in 6×4.5 frames and unpack them into my living room that’s currently littered with tinsel and birthday debris, hold only the incredible parts of everyone for 2 hours and then go home to a full-bodied, ebbing and flowing dynamic i’ll never have pegged. a thousand things have changed for this family and mine since these photos were made, but freezing the slices of their wonder feels like one of the most important contributions i have to give.
ALSO if you live in Utah and you haven’t scheduled your fall family photo session yet, whatcha doin? I’ve got space for you but not for much longer. Contact me here for full family session details + to make your shoot happen. Let’s freeze your perfect parts. (hashtag creepy yet accurate sales pitching?)
