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

Family Film by Karra Lynn Photography

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
