Easy like Sunday morning (I hope you sang that in your head, haha).

I am so thankful for the Ruhland fam. Sometimes you just vibe with good people. I first met Sara when I took her AH-MAZING yoga class. And guys, I seriously hate yoga but her class was perfect and I didn’t die (yay!) She wasn’t the super-serious yoga teacher. She was real and funny and personable. I am SO thankful Sara emailed me the next week and we started coordinating schedules for a family film session.

Fast forward to a gorgeous Sunday morning in August. The Ruhland fam made chocolate chip pancakes, swung on swings, explored their neighborhood, and played an intense game of Candyland. It was perfect. Thank you Ruhland fam for allowing me & Paige into your home and letting us capture the magic that is your adorable family.

Ya’ll, this job humbles me everyday. Thankful, thankful, thankful.

xo, k

Overshare: I re-edited this film 3 times. I switched music twice. I’m a perfectionist. I overthink. I worry. I want these family films to be *perfect*. But friends, life ain’t perfect. It’s out-of-focus and wobbly (just like this film tbh).

It’s feeding your youngest a breakfast treat and them breaking out in allergy hives 5 minutes before your photographer arrives.

It’s deciding to go for a bike ride and your kid bails on the bike halfway thru the adventure.

It’s chasing your kids down the street in pjs & slippers.

Friends, if life has taught me anything .. GO WITH THE FLOW. Life is messy, it’s okay if your film session is messy too. In the end, it’s exactly what it needs to be, YOU. xo, k

A recipe. The most special recipe. One that has been past down from generation to generation, each time a small change is made. A change that allows each family to create their own recipe, but small enough to keep the legacy intact. I had the privilege of documenting the Zoccoli’s spaghetti Sunday; a day that happens every few months where they make their family sauce recipe together.

Their youngest kiddo, Marina, holds the title for my favorite “cake smash” session ever. Instead of smashing a cake, she smashed a bowl of pasta like a pro. It was fun to see her, a couple years later, still have a big heart for a big bowl of pasta. Psst, towards the end of the film Marina chants “sghetti” while banging her utensil on the table and waiting for her plate to be made.

Enjoy Zoccoli’s family film, and scroll down to see one photos from Marina’s pasta smash from 2017. Contact me to today to schedule your family film.

Newborn sessions are my favorite. They take place in your home. You don’t have to pack everybody up (including that brand new beautiful babe!) and get them out the door. You stay put and I come to you, wherever that may be. Newborn sessions are comfortable, relaxed, and easy. Promise. Check out the adorable newborn film and photos from my latest session. Enjoy! xo, K
