There’s something magical about fall sessions, especially when you get to work with a family as wonderful as the Schranks. Nikki Schrank, who wears many hats as a teacher, a photographer, and my son’s student council sponsor, brought her beautiful family for a mini session that truly captured the spirit of the season. Nikki also happens to be my daughter’s former teacher, so it was a special treat to reconnect and capture these memories for her.
The Schrank family is as sweet as they are photogenic. Nikki and her husband have three charming sons, all with fiery red hair and the kind of energy that makes a session so much fun. They were total naturals in front of the camera, and I could tell Nikki’s photography expertise had rubbed off on her boys—they were pros at taking direction!
Their youngest son quickly became my little “session buddy,” stealing the show with his adorable expressions and vibrant personality. He was 100% his authentic self, and that’s exactly what I aim to capture in every session. Those candid, unscripted moments where true personalities shine through are my favorite, and the Schrank boys made it effortless.
We laughed, explored, and soaked up the crisp November air. It’s not every day that a family makes my job feel this seamless, and the Schranks were a perfect example of why I love what I do. Each frame from their session felt like a window into their world, and I’m so excited for them to have these memories to look back on.
Thank you, Schrank family, for trusting me with these moments. Nikki, it was such a joy to work with you and your sweet boys—I hope these photos bring a smile to your face for years to come!
