Its time to prepare for summer family photo sessions. Its been a long winter and now is the time to get together and have some fun. Why not include a family picture session to mark the progress of your family and how your children have grown and changed? It can be as simple or as elaborate as you have the time and energy to create. Most of my families do just as I did with the Harris family last weekend. We simply met at a park and played with the kids, allowing them to have a good time while I just took pictures. There is no need to match every look or invest in expensive props unless that is what you really want to do. Just make sure everyone is comfortable and that you make it fun then you are more likely to get smiles and laughter!
