the Wolk Family
by Kerry Mills on January 13, 2012The period between having your photo taken and waiting to see them can be excruciating. Doubt sets in as you begin to question if there is even a single shot of the kids not being fussy? Did the kids even look at the camera once? Is there is a good enough shot of the whole family together to display and share with others? Man-oh-man do I ever know what this feels like when the boys and I have our photos taken, too.
While photographing the Wolk family, Caleb and Chloe kept me on my toes. We played & laughed a lot. Then I just kind of hung back and let them lead for a while. Let them play and explore, and HEY…look! They did look at the camera! We did get good family shots! What a spirited season of life for the Wolks, and I thoroughly enjoyed capturing it.

Let me tell you, Chloe is such a darling momma’s girl. She stayed tucked into Leigh’s skirt almost the entire time; it was an accomplishment to get a couple shots of her alone. =)
Caleb was so cute picking dandelions the entire time.
I love it. Here’s a good example of Chloe sticking close to her mom. Even when we’re getting “couples” shots you can see the top of Chloe’s head below them.

We worked together to make two different Christmas card designs: one for family and one for business. These photos really don’t do it justice. The card in the middle was printed on pearlescent paper which is quickly becoming a favorite of mine, and the letterpress card to the left & right was printed on 100% cotton paper.
A big THANK YOU goes out to Cindy of Plantation Farms for letting me finish up my holiday sessions at her venue. It is such a gorgeous setting for family portraits and weddings alike!
