Children don’t always follow the plan, and that’s okay! Allow them to explore, play, and be themselves during the session. Some of the best photos come from candid moments when kids are just being kids. I’ll guide them into poses, but I also love to capture those natural, spontaneous moments that show their true personalities.

Family photos are all about capturing your bond, not achieving a picture-perfect pose. Snuggle, laugh, and interact with each other during the session. These genuine moments of connection are what make your photos special and timeless.

A relaxed family makes for relaxed photos. If parents are stressed, it often shows in the images. Trust me to handle the session, and focus on enjoying the time with your loved ones. I use prompts, jokes, and a laid-back approach to keep everyone at ease and make the experience enjoyable.

Especially with smaller children, it’s important to allow for breaks during the session. Kids may need a few minutes to regroup, have a snack, or just take a breather. I always follow the mood of the little ones, giving them the time they need to feel comfortable.
