What to expect
Capturing Genuine Moments
I take a documentary approach because the spontaneous moments of my own children being their true selves are the ones I love most. These photos capture fleeting memories I can always revisit, and I want to give that same gift to the families I photograph. There’s something so special about preserving those unposed, authentic moments—whether it’s a shared laugh, a quiet cuddle, or the kids running wild.
A Fun Adventure for the Whole Family
Think of your session as a fun adventure. It’s a time for your family to play, laugh, and be present with each other. Don’t worry if the kids are full of energy—that's when the best photos happen! Let them explore and be themselves, and as they wind down, those tender, tired cuddles make for magical shots.
Relaxed and Child-Led Sessions
My sessions are relaxed and child-led, allowing your kids to run, play, and be their authentic selves. This ensures the photos reflect the genuine joy and love within your family. I'll spend time getting to know your family, understanding your unique dynamics and what makes you all smile.
Natural Connections, Not Posed Smiles
I won’t ask for posed smiles or direct looks at the camera. Instead, I'll guide you with simple prompts to bring out natural emotions and connections. Whether it’s a shared joke, a playful tickle, or a quiet moment of togetherness, these are the moments where the magic happens.
Tips for a Memorable Session
Focus on Each Other
Forget the camera’s there! Enjoy your family time—giggle with your kids, share a cuddle or kiss with your partner, and relish the moment. We’ll capture the real, candid essence of your family. If you want a photo with everyone looking at the camera, just let me know! Kids want your attention and will be much more engaged if you are looking at them rather than telling them to look into the camera.
Embrace the Chaos
Kids will be kids, and that’s the magic! Let them be wild, run around, and just be themselves. The most memorable photos often come from those spontaneous, joy-filled moments. Let them explore and play, I promise those are the moments that capture the magic of everyday life.
Engage in Activities You Love
Plan a simple activity you all enjoy, whether it’s a visit to your favourite beach or park, reading together, or even baking at home. These shared moments bring out natural smiles and interactions, resulting in photos that truly capture your family's unique bond.
Be Present in the Moment
Let go of any expectations and fully immerse yourself in the experience. The most beautiful photos come from genuine connections and emotions. Whether you're snuggling with your newborn, playing with your children, or sharing a quiet moment with your partner, being present will allow your true emotions to shine through, creating timeless memories.
