Family Pictures

So I wanted to get 12 month pictures done around Drew's birthday but decided to wait a while A) because we had just gotten these done only a couple months earlier and B) he wasn't walking yet and C) knew we were getting these beach pics done in May. We finally booked our session with Tess and were scheduled for the first weekend in August.

I love our photographer for a variety of reasons, but mostly because of her raw talent. She isn't into posed pictures despite my request for a good family shot each session, but it's her keen eye that I adore. She captures shots like the 3 in my header, each full of different emotions.

Drew doesn't smile on cue yet and I love how she still captured some great smiley shots as well as shots showing his "deep thought face".

I think I almost had tears when I opened her package. Each shot was spectacular and this is just a dabble of what all she captured. 

I adore my photographer.

If you know anyone in Cleveland that needs some pics, I'd recommend Tess. Here's her website, but she's on facebook as well: http://www.tesssmithphotography.blogspot.com/.
