Family photos shouldn't be a hassle!
Here are my top tips to get everyone excited for an easygoing session
To capture beautiful, natural images, it's important to have fun
Choose the right Location: Select a spot that resonates with your family, the right setting can spark joy and create a relaxed atmosphere.
Dress Comfortably: Encourage everyone to wear outfits they feel good in. Comfort translates to confidence, which equals more natural expressions in photos. Aim for coordinated colors or patterns that complement each other without being overly match.
Plan for Play: Incorporate activities or games during the session. Having fun while I capture candid moments will result in genuine smiles and interactions, rather than stiff poses.
Be Flexible: Kids can be unpredictable, so it’s essential to go with the flow. Allow for breaks and let them explore. A relaxed atmosphere will lead to authentic moments.
Snacks and Rewards: Bring along some snacks or set a little reward for after the session! This will help keep spirits high and can serve as a sweet incentive for the kids.
Emphasis Connection: Instead of posing stiffly, focus on interactions—holding hands, cuddling, or sharing a laugh. Genuine connections will sparkle in your photos.
Trust the Process: Remember that I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Trust the process and enjoy the time spent together. Your joy will shine through in the images!
