I know that getting your photo taken can be nerve wracking. Trust me, I will make it easy for you! I will direct you most of the session, with candid moments that naturally unfold in between.

The secret ingredient to a more meaningful family photo session is CONNECTION.

The refreshing news is that you don’t have to connect with the camera, you just have to connect with each other! Always touching, hugging, kissing. Think of it as a 60 minute cuddle session with your favorite people!

Let the kids play, play with them, spin them around. Make them laugh. Whisper funny things in each other’s ear. Enjoy each other, have fun, explore.

Bring a few surprise snacks in case of a meltdown. Hot chocolate if it’s chilly outside. Make a day of it. Maybe go to their favorite place to eat after. A blanket to sit on that can get dirty.

Let them run wild and be themselves, and I will document them.

Be excited, the kids can feel stress before you leave the house. Make it seem like the funnest thing you’ve ever done. I can’t wait to meet you.
