This summer I donated a family photo session to the Cribs Not Cages auction benefiting Raices. This family (who also happen to be friends) had the winning bid.
So we met up in the Seaholm area to redeem their family photo session this month.
Thanks again for bidding towards this cause (helping and advocating for separated immigrant families).
It was so much fun watching the kids climb and scout out the downtown landscape.
I hope you’ve enjoyed these sneak peeks from their family photo session. To see all the (password protected) images, visit their gallery HERE.
1. How do you know Stephanie Friedman Photography?
I was first introduced to Stephanie Friedman Photography when our sons were in the same preschool class at the elementary school. She took these vivid photos of the bubble class. The photos were very active and caught the spirit of each child in the class. From those few photos, I could not wait to use her again, I used her service for beautiful wildflower photos. I loved how she incorporated my children’s stuffed animals and whimsy in her pictures. I always feel luck to have a chance to be in a class with her son as I know there will be magical photos taken during the year.
2. What was your favorite part of your photo session?
My favorite part of the photo session was how she let my children come up with their own ideas of how to pose and what to do. She was incredibly patient with them and really let them explore so that their personalities came through. I love her ability to let the kids take charge and to respect their ideas — it really make them feel part of the whole photo session. She is sweet, funny, and caring which really allows for the kids to relax and be themselves.
3. What advice would you give to other families planning a photo session?
I would tell any family who was planning a photo session to have fun!! Let your children be spontaneous and quirky. Try to start the photo session with the shirts tucked in and hair brushed, but if at the end, the shirt is no longer tucked in and the hair a bit wild, let that wonderful part of your child be captured.
4. Anything else you’d like to add?
I love Stephanie Friedman Photography. She does such an amazing job!
