Background: New family asks for engagement/family photos in Nebraska.
Thoughts: While I don't want to be pegged as a family photographer, I have enjoyed the family shoots I have done. It's challenging coming up with ideas on the fly especially in a city in which you don't live, but it also allows for more spontaneity and opportunities to try new things (cliche, I know, but damn it there is truth in it). The little girl in this picture just decided to up and grab mom and dad's hands like this. When moments like this occur, I feel really lucky to be around with my camera because the people I'm working with are naturals and I am able to capture a sweet, spontaneous moment that isn't forced. When we're allowed freedom, the pictures come out much more natural and reflective of the family as a unit, or at least how they want to be remembered as a unit.
