It's great to see the spark of playfulness in my family shots. Especially when it's time for the couples photos. It's not terribly difficult to get kids to have fun with the camera, so when the parents can relax and be a bit cheesy too, it just adds to the experience. That's why the Hartner family's parent photo is one of my favorite of 2017. Here's wishing you playful times and happy memories from the Outer Banks of North Carolina!
