When I contacted this photographer I tried explaining to her that this wasn't going to be an easy job. She wasn't going to get that "perfect" shot of all of us smiling and I really didn't want that either. I wanted pictures of us being us. She couldn't have done a better job, she never asked us to pose or pretend or even to smile really. She captured our family doing exactly what we do. We are chaotic, crazy, fun, running, free spirited and exploring. Just like we do every day. She just followed us around and was completely patient with us. We aren't a perfect family but she captured my imperfect family perfectly.... This is us.
