How to Create a Fun Photography Experience for Your Family

Here are a few tips to create a fun and relaxed environment for your family photo session!

Manage Expectations

First, be sure everyone knows what to expect! If you choose an hour photography session with us, you can expect a relaxed, FUN hour! We will direct adults and kids, but not be too specific. Let your kiddos know that we expect them to play, explore and be silly! Your family will feel better prepared if they know what to expect.

Keep it Relaxed

Keep it Zen! If you are anxious or stressed, your family will pick up on your mood. Give yourself a bit of self-care to prepare for your session, and be prepared to be relaxed. Your family will appreciate it. If your kids aren’t feeling super smiley, that’s OK! Let us direct the kiddos while you stay…chill!

Don’t Expect Perfection

Most importantly, your family will have the most fun if you aren’t expecting everyone to be perfect. We enjoy documenting the real part of family life, so a bit of exploring, a bit of running and jumping is great. We encourage it! And, if things aren’t going as you had planned, just trust your photographer to do the best in the situation. Some of the most meaningful photos come from when your kids are being a little energetic!
