Best of 2018 and 2019. Only a few weddings in the last couple years, but some of my favourites to date. Lots of intimate celebrations and heartfelt ceremonies, and I’m thankful for every one of them.
Here’s to a 2020 that’s looking busy already!
And here’s to me posting a year end blog before March! Brownie points will be accepted via mail only.
Enjoy, friends.
Oh, I can't believe how long it has taken me to get these on the blog. I am not biased, of course (it's not like I shot their wedding, their maternity 2x and Walter's newborn photos before this...), but this sweet family shoot is my favourite of all time.
More lifestyle family photos, please!
If you're feeling this style, send me an email at tasha@vanassestudios.com
Cheers, friends.
If you had asked me a couple years ago if I thoroughly enjoyed doing family sessions, I'd probably laugh it off and tell you... well, no. Not really. I enjoyed doing them for former clients, because I know them, and it's always lovely to reconnect. But I never reveled in chasing kiddos around, trying to force everyone to smile, and dealing with crankies, tantrums and obstinance.
Until now!
(Sorry, I can never pass up sounding like an infomercial.)
Honestly, family portrait sessions, the way I've chosen to start doing them, have been some of my favorite sessions of the year. What's changed, you ask? My approach. My attitude. The fact that I've seen first hand on a daily basis how incredibly fast those kiddos grow, and how almost every moment is sweet if you look at it in the right light. Also, who wants posed family portraits? If you do, no judgement, of course. But I'm not your girl.
I love weddings, I'll always love weddings, But it's not the pomp and decor and fanciness that I love. It's the people. The love. And those people, many of them, grow up and start families of their own. It's a natural progression. More people, more love. So, bring on the families.
