Use these techniques to reduce your stress.
Traveling across Texas and the country with preschoolers is no joke. After a few meltdowns (and a few from the kiddos, too 😂), we quickly discovered the learning curve and that we had to get up to speed quickly - for everyone's sanity and health.
Preparing for our trek across the country and knowing that we would stay in hotels and in friends’ guest rooms, I started scrolling through my mental rolodex for all my packing and travel hacks.

Our suitcases exploded in our rooms. And we have preschoolers!
We we wanted to do better.
Relax. Seriously. Make sure that you have confidence in your photographer. They should guide you and give you tips as you pose. You cannot see how you look from the other side of the camera - they can. Your photographer should help lead you through your session.

Everyone has a story.
She's been told that she'll never graduate, that she'll never make it through high school, that she won't live past 18.
She's proving them all wrong.
This might be the last normal summer before you head off to college. Often, the summer after graduating includes senior trips, travel, and other things to prepare for moving out of your childhood home.
Tears anyone?!? Just me? Ok.

This is true to what the big Fort Worth sky gave us the night of her session. The one thing she asked for: "I want a pretty sunset with the wildflowers."
