Studio Christmas Session with Friends: The Hammer Family

Photographing friends always feels special. The Hammer family came into the studio ready for some holiday photos, and we had so much fun mixing cozy indoor shots with a few quick ones outside. Val (aka @mizchynuhdoll) is my go-to makeup artist, so it was an extra treat to have her on the other side of the camera with her crew. A few classic potty jokes brought out the biggest smiles (no shame, it works every time). These are the sessions that remind me how much joy this season can hold.
