My approach to your family session will be soft and friendly (but I will absolutely go hard on the extrovertedness for my active little clients). During our consultation call, I want to get to know you and your family so that the day of your session, you feel like you're hanging out with a friend that happens to have brought her camera along! I gravitate towards having a more documentary style approach to my photos so that no one has to stress on little kids not posing or looking at the camera or everyone smiling at the same time. It's a whole...process, but that's my job. Your job will be to get dressed and show up stress-free!
I understand allllllllllll of the things listed above...because well, I either currently live it or have lived it at one point in my life so I know exactly what it's like.
