The Eshelman Family

It was literally a zillion degrees on this evening.
She was rather pregnant.
Little T didn’t nap.
J just wanted to do boy things.
It could have been a literal hot mess. BUTYAKNOWWHAT. It wasn’t.

AND. We are both photographers. Both moms. You think we would have this family pictures thing ALL FIGURED OUT.
But life + kids are unpredictable. So just know that even if you *feel* like your session was a hot mess…there are still opportunities for magic.

Be like Addie: be kind to yourself, your kids, and dont stress. Think of the wine & ice cream waiting for you at the end, trust that SOME magic is being captured, and that this is the reality of the here & now of your family.

Can’t wait for this family to be asking for a table of FIVE AT A RESTAURANT!
