The Secret to Authentic Family Photos

In every session I have, I always strive to capture authentic moments between you and everyone in your family. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I preach this quite often.

As a photographer, I know the moments to grab and the gentle prompts to give clients, however, a lot of those authentic moments happen because you….yes, YOU! When the client comes to their session with a positive and relaxed attitude, true magic happens. I’ll give you an example with this family right here. When I tell you this family brought it. They BROUGHT IT. And the thing is they probably didn’t even know they did.

Bring your Personality to your session

At the beginning of this session Ashley told me that they really just wanted a lot of interaction and that is exactly what they got. They were relaxed and just were simply themselves and look. at. what. we. got. SO MUCH PERSONALITY!!

Look, I know all of you play silly games and sing songs with your kids at home, so just have fun and do that in your session. So there’s the secret….just be YOU!!!

How to prep and what to expect for your shoot:

We will play games, have tickle fights, and tell jokes if we need to. I will even make animal and fart noises(#truth)!! I also come with my phone, so I love to play music to relax and have fun. Music is almost always a winner in terms of bringing out personality.

The best thing to do is come prepared with a couple songs and games that you and your kids typically enjoy. I will do whatever it takes to get the shot!

For instance, we played a little game of emotions with this guy!

Having Fun on your Photoshoot is the #1 goal:

Towards the end of your session, if we feel like it, we can let the kids loose! Let those kids, just be kids…and I will keep capturing those moments.

Do you know one thing that all of my branding clients have in common? They all say to me some version of, “I am just so ready to make this next step or level up in my business!” 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Trust me, I know you are grinding away at this business that you built from the ground up, and I ALSO know there is a point where you need and WANT to turn the dial up on how your customer sees you!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are ready to make that NEXT step in your business, I’m your girl! The proof is in the pudding — check out my full branding portfolio in the LINK IN BIO!

Life with kids moves fast.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One minute they’re holding your hand everywhere you go, the next they’re running ahead of you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you haven’t checked, the rest of spring sessions have been made available, and a few have already been claimed. If you’ve been thinking about documenting this season with your family, now is the time.

As much as I love cozy in home newborns, going outdoors can also blow it out of the park!

Where are my expecting mommas at?

Daylight Savings means sessions times will be later — this makes for weekdays to be easier to manage for working parents. If your weekends are full of travel, kids sports & activities, consider a weeknight!

There is just something about Spring that hits different! Don’t pass on this Spring to get your family photos booked up. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know the Fall is the TYPICALLY the most popular time for you to get family pictures made for your Christmas cards, but the temperatures and the foliage is just as nice(and sometimes better) in the Spring. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And BONUS: one less thing to do during the busy holiday season!

I’m not your average photographer.......
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Standing and smiling photos are great, but what really makes my heart sing are the ones where no one is looking at me. The ones where you are just being. Being yourself, being loved, being with the people that are your whole world.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If this is what you are looking for, I’m your girl and you have found my perfect little corner of the internet. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No matter how many families I photograph, you will be what makes your family portraits perfect.

You are the stars of your story.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Life with kids is a blur — but I can capture it. Stopping time even for a moment to allows you to see the beauty through the chaos. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You are in the best kind of blur…parents laughing in the background while little ones run free in the spotlight. Childhood is fast, and these in-between moments are the ones you’ll want to remember while at the same time building an irreplaceable legacy for your children.
