Midwest Family Videography
The funny thing about expectation is that you can look back on at what you always pictured for your life and it’ll look completely different. And you are 100% grateful for this. Just take a peek at this Midwest family videography session to see this in action.
During their Sunday ritual of waking slow and enjoying pancakes together, the R family played the “would you rather” game. It came up that mother, Monica, was once more interested in city, condo living than cozy, Midwest country-home living. Now, the backyard is something she’d never give up. Having two girls, both under ten years old, that yard and the extra space have become favorite spots for the family to feel joy.
“I Want to Feel the Joy…”
Monica and Joe described this season of life as simply, joyful, during our video pre-session call. This family is genuinely happy just being together. Scarlett and Kinsley love playing outside, climbing trees or running around with Winnie, the family dog. Snuggles, drawing, games and bonfires are staples in their home.
What will the film mean to this family years down the road of life? Everything. True giggles, little hands and feet, missing teeth…it all becomes engrained in the everyday and we forget to remember. God willing, children grow up and form their own ideals about the future. Whether the ideals stick is yet to be seen, but the reminder of the joy can be owned through the lens of a camera. That, my friends, is pure magic.
