After Halloween, this family doesn’t just toss their pumpkins — they smash them! It’s become a yearly tradition full of laughter and flying pumpkin pieces.

I love capturing moments like these — the unique, messy, joy-filled memories that make each family special.

What’s one of your favorite family traditions? I’m gathering inspo for future shoots!
