The Springer family was so pleased with their sons school portraits that I had done for The Learning Tree, they contacted me to do their family portraits!  We talked about their goals, what worked in their home, their style, their comfort level.  Soon after our “planning session”, a few hours after actually…I went to their home and helped them pick out clothing to wear.  I really do believe that you can make things work that you have in your closet but also open to meeting at the mall to help buy new!  They all looked so sharp and their dog was such a well behaved dog.  I always encourage including your fury loved ones in a shot!  The lighting and weather were perfect, everyone felt great, wine in moms hand (and photographers), we truly captured this family and their relationship.
