Family Session

You guys know the saying….Land of the Free…..Because of the Brave. I’m so excited to share these photos because I’m really proud of this session!

I had an idea to do something cute with the kids in Christmas pajamas after I found these adorable reindeer pajamas at Kohls but I knew my son would never go for it.
