Family photos shouldn't be a hassle!
To capture beautiful, natural images, it's important to have fun
Here are my top tips for a fun and enjoyable session!
When it comes to capturing those perfect family moments, here are some tips to make the experience enjoyable and authentic:
Dress Comfortably: Encourage everyone to wear clothes that make them feel great. When you're comfortable, it shows, and that confidence leads to more natural smiles in photos. Try to coordinate colors or patterns that look good together without being too matchy-matchy. In family sessions, parents are generally moving around to play with their children so comfortable clothing is very advised.
Plan for Play: Include some fun activities or games during the session. When everyone is having a good time, I can catch those genuine smiles and candid moments.
Be Flexible: Kids can be a bit unpredictable, so it’s important to go with the flow. Allow for breaks and let them explore a bit. A relaxed environment will help create those authentic moments. Some of the most gorgeous photos that I’ve taken have been of children exploring the surrounding area.
Snacks and Rewards: Bring some snacks along or plan a little treat for after the session! This can keep everyone’s spirits up and serve as a fun incentive for the kids.
Connection: Instead of stiff poses, focus on interactions—holding hands, cuddling, or sharing a laugh. Those genuine connections will really shine through in your photos.
Trust the Process: Remember, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Trust the process and enjoy the time spent together; your happiness will definitely come through in the images.
