What could sound more simple than family photography? You get a camera, you tell them to pose, you try to get one picture with everyone looking in the same direction, you send the Christmas cards. But if you've ever actually tried to get a family photo, you know there's nothing simple about it. Until you meet Molly.

Molly Wantland is not your typical "smile and say cheese" photographer. Don't worry. She'll make sure your Christmas card is taken care of, but she will also give you so much more. She will catch your family—the people you love most—at their most authentic best and give them back to you. She's going to take your family's fleeting moments of joy and turn them into a present you can hold. And this week, she tells us how.
