Family Photos, COVID-Style ~ Vancouver, WA

Things have gotten a little different recently with photography requirements in the age of COVID. The biggest two changes are that your photographer is required to be masked and to remain at least six feet away from you and your family.

This one is TOUGH for me from a heartstrings perspective. I want your little ones to feel comfortable with me as soon as possible, so my challenge to myself is to up my game verbally. Apologizes in advance if I’m a little “extra” at your session due to this. Make sure to have your morning coffee before you arrive. ;)
