FAMILY SESSION | WILDCAT BLUFF | TEALA WARD PHOTOGRAPHY

I was beyond impressed with this family and their flexibility. Our story started with a family photography session scheduled about an hour away at the location this family had stayed overnight. Unfortunately, Dad and his oldest son fell in the mud and didn't have any extra clothes to change into. They were great sports. We tried to make the most out of our appointment but because I had only gotten about half the content I wanted, I offered to do a second session to add to their gallery.

They were gracious and accepted a second appointment and that is where our story continued with these photos. I love having a plan with a set schedule but things happen. Sometimes weather or unforeseen events occur that change our plans and I am here to put my clients at ease. My goal as a photographer is to make my clients feel comfortable and like they are taken care of when working with me. I don't ever want clients to feel like they have missed their chance to have great photos or that a day is "ruined" because of something unexpected. When something like this happens, I want them to feel like they will still get a great photography package one way or another. Sometimes it does take a second appointment to complete a full session due to unforeseen events but I am willing to make that work if they are!

Now we have a full gallery for this family to cherish and I hope that is exactly what they will do. I had so much fun working with them and enjoyed watching how much fun they had with each other. My photography style is inspired by natural movement that expose raw relationships and this family had such beautiful moments together.
