A child is incomplete without his or her family. So, any set of photos of your child is incomplete without the context of your family - you, your spouse, siblings. At times even grand parents. Who would know that better that a mom herself? So, all my photo sessions include photos of whole families, individual parents with the child, grand parents with their grand children and so on. 

 

After all, even for your child, when they grow up and have their own families, the photos that they would love and cherish the most out of their childhood photos are the ones which show them comfortable and content with their first family.
