It finally happened. I had a family film and photo session where the kids fought. A LOT. The rough plan was to bake cookies and decorate the tree (when they began fighting, I thought, oh yea, this is how it is in most families!)… and well the baking was hard because the toddler boy wanted to do menacing things while the older sisters baked and well, they got really frustrated. The tree decorating was wild because everyone had their own idea of how the tree should look and well… LOTS of fighting happened.
I got home, worried I was going to deliver a film that would only remind the family of a day of fighting. But I started editing the photos and had a realization…
This family will remember that on their hardest days, there was SO much love. Love in the in between, woven in and out and between all the fights.
I regret not capturing the fighting more. Next time, I will. If you want your family captured, please reach out to me!
