Give dad a fire and a few sticks and some sugary, messy treats for the kiddos and you’ve got a happy family ready for pictures. And they don’t even realize that you’re snapping away while they’re having fun. Always striving to create environments where everyone is enjoying themselves is the best way I can capture those candid shots. I’m still perfecting it, but I feel pretty confident that we’re almost there.

I hope you like these campfire shots I captured of some of these awesome families this past fall.
