Getting ready for a family photo session can seem like a daunting task more often then not, but it doesn’t have to be.
What happens if things go wrong?
I am not going to lie, 99% of the time our sessions don’t go exactly how we plan…. but that doesn’t mean anything went wrong. Remember we have children at the session and they are unpredictable and make up their own rules. That’s what makes for a great session. “What the heck are you talking about” Trust me, the best moments capture are not the posed images but the pictures where everyone is being themselves and having fun during the session!
The most important thing to remember!
Always, always try to have fun. Believe me I know this is easier to say than to do. I have 2 kids of my own and taking photos of them can be stressful sometimes. The thing is, we often think that the perfect picture is the one where everyone is looking at the camera with a big cheesy smile on our faces. It really isn’t in my opinion. The best pictures are the real moments of your family interacting with each other like you normally would. Most of us are not great actors especially our children, so if everyone isn’t having fun… it will show up on camera! The more fun we have, the more relaxed everyone will be, and the better your images will turn out! Still not convinced? Well not to worry I always have prompts to give to you and your family help get the natural reactions to capture beautiful images of your amazing family!
Are Props included?
During this pandemic, I Will not be including any of my props in the photo sessions. However you are more than welcome to bring any props you would like and we will incorporate them into our session!
