Your family is unique
Each family is different, and I often will start my sessions with a longer lens and watch from afar as you interact together and everyone warms up a bit. Kids can be shy around a new person and a big camera! So this allows them to play and warm up before I come in closer to capture connection. However, if they are not shy and want to run around and play, we start that way too! Just know that no two families are the same as your family dynamic is unique, so each gallery will be different. That’s what makes your session so special! It’s truly about you.
Things you can expect
- Space to be yourselves
- I will make you snuggle, be loving and get lots of real emotion
- Laughing so hard your stomach hurts
- I will also make you play!
- A fun experience
- I will incorporate the environment and lighting we’re in whether it’s sunny golden light or moody overcast skies.
- I will try my hardest (kid dependent) to get a “Grandma-everyone looking” shot.
- I will not ask children to say cheese, but will instead interact with them to bring out genuine expressions.
- Most of your gallery will be of emotive images and not everyone looking at the camera
Trust the Process
The best thing you can do for your session is trust the process and trust me. If you come to your session with an open mind, ready to have fun, be yourself, and don’t worry about your little one being uninterested in photos, I promise we will make some magic! It may feel chaotic at times and as though we didn’t get anything good, but I am constantly shooting and capturing it all. The seriousness and the funny. Just letting your kid’s be themselves will bring out the best gallery of images and you’ll be able to truly remember what this time felt like when they’re 15 years old!
What not to expect & Maybe I’m not the right photographer for you if:
- You’re more formal and don’t want to run, play or get a little dirty during session
- You’re wanting a lot of images of everyone looking at the camera
- Perfection, no one is perfect and photos can look a bit stuffy if forced.
- You’re not comfortable showing affection
After all of that, I hope I have convinced you to at least consider booking your family photo session! If you are interested in a family session, I’d love to hear from you!
