Gathering the whole family for a photo session can feel like a huge challenge.. You might be worrying about outfits, timings, how will the kids behave etc. My aim is to embrace all of this energy and channel it into the most authentic family session for you.
To capture the true connection you share, you can simply.. be. I know that might sound vague but what I mean by that is just be yourselves! Let the kids run wild, forget I’m there and embrace the chaos. At the end of the day, that is what will allow your personalities to shine through the photos. The small looks to one another, the giggles, the cheeky smile. Those are the tiny moments you will cherish forever and looking at them in years to come will spark tender memories and conversations about this precious time in your lives.
Family sessions aren’t about trying to present as ‘perfect’ on camera. They are about capturing your unique family- just as you are in this moment. The pictures tell a story that can’t be described with words. People often say when they arrive for a session that they’re nervous and have never done anything like this before. I hear “I’m not very good at posing” all the time but I’m here to tell you that there’s nothing to be nervous for and that posing for the camera isn’t how we tell your story and I’ll never ask you to do that..
I am always there to offer prompts and guidance which help to spark the cutest moments and interactions but the true connection comes from you and your family throwing perfection out the window and stepping in to the feeling. You’ll soon forget I’m there and you will be yourselves and it’s in those moments that the real magic is captured.
Having sessions in nature is the perfect way to capture your connection, with space to run and play. Alternatively, we can capture you in your home, where you have so many beautiful memories already. Please get in touch to have your dream family session, I’d love to hear from you!
