Oakwood Family Photography | Smith Gardens | The Kang Family

Family Session

Having grown up in a family with three brothers and no sisters, I always love the opportunity to photograph a family with all girls! My time with the Kangs was no exception. These girlies were full of energy and their own ideas for photos, which made this Oakwood family photography session so much fun.

Oakwood Family Photography at Smith Gardens

When I’m working with a family with multiple littles, my best trick is to just let them take the lead. I can usually get away with giving instructions for standard shots in the first few minutes, but once the kiddos start to get wiggly, I put them in charge. And honestly, that’s when the fun truly begins!

Finley ran. Lucy twirled. Ruby rolled. All while their parents and I acted like fools to bring out their biggest grins. We sang songs, threw leaves, and just let the girls play. Sessions with kiddos this age almost always feel chaotic, but honestly I think that’s part of the magic. Plus, with a little fall foliage mixed in, I couldn’t have asked for anything more!

I loved capturing this beautiful family at Smith Gardens. If you’re looking for an Oakwood family photography session too, please reach out to me. I would love to chat through your vision and get a date on our calendars!

I HAVE A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR YOU!

more about me

I've been navigating military life with my family since 2008. In that time, I went from a full-time classroom teacher to an online course designer to a photographer. Actually, I still teach a little math on the side because I just love it too much!

Through it all, I've discovered how passionate I am about connecting with military families. Whether it's taking photos at a retirement ceremony, coaching a fellow milspouse photographer, or just grabbing coffee with a new squadron friend, I love this community. And as a teacher at heart, I'm excited to use this space to share what I've learned about business and life with you.

I'M ERIN.
