I think it’s a rule that the more kids you have the more cool, calm, and laid-back you are. That’s the impression I get from the Montei’s, family of six. Their family session from last fall is one of my favorites of all time. I actually was a bit of a mess right before their session started. I did something I never had done before and i was extremely lucky I could cover myself without jeopardizing their session. I had a session right before theirs and I realized in the middle of it that I had forgotten to change out my battery. I ALWAYS have a backup, but I had shot several mini sessions that morning that sucked up all of my batteries so I was doing a mass charge at home. I forgot to grab before I left for my evening sessions. I get through my first session without running over - Whew! - and then rush home (THANK goodness we were at a location 10 minutes from my house) in between sessions to grab a charged battery. I had texted Lindsey to tell her I’d be a couple minutes late - explaining my blonde moment. She was so cool about it (I come from the business world so punctuality and professionalism is ingrained in my blood) and they were just letting the kids run around and play as I arrived from my frenzied trip. And then we proceed to capture an amazing session with a gorgeous fall backdrop.
