Sometimes life is chaotic. Sometimes life is messy. Sometimes it's absolutely crazy. When you have three kids, turn that "sometimes" into always. I had a lot of sessions this fall - alot of fantastic ones. Great families, beautiful light, amazing color.....but this one really speaks to me. This is why I LOVE being a photographer. This session depicts the emotion and the authenticity I want every session to portray. Now every session doesn't involve three kids under the age of five...but you know what I mean.

Dan and Lauren would admit this session was crazy. I usually hate to admit it to parents, but it was. There were tears, there were escape attempts, and there was bribery. But....there were hugs, laughs, kisses, smiles, and real life captured. I commend Dan and Lauren's patience because they just went with it and it was perfection.

The chaos is beautiful, the messiness is beautiful, the craziness is beautiful. And that lame saying "it won't be like this forever" is really true. I hope Lauren and Dan treasure these photos forever because this is life. This is love. This is their beautiful mess (straight from Mom's mouth):
