time for some cool family photos

My Style is Simple.
Real smiles...Real emotions.
Real laughter...Real life.

At every family session, I strive to capture more than just how you look. My goal is to tell a story, the story of your family. Who you are today, right now, in this moment.
Silly three year olds are allowed to be silly. Moody teenagers are never asked to say cheese. Children photograph best when they are free to explore and play. Family portraiture has come a long way in the last few years and there’s nobody more excited about it. I make each photograph tell a story and express who you are as family. These photographs will stand the test of time. 
So relax, let the kids pick out their own outfits, be yourselves and let’s have a blast! 

There are two options. We can do it in your home which is my personal fave. There’s all this nostalgia and pretty pockets of light. Generally, I find that families are more comfortable in their own home. The kids have their favourite toys and you can do activities together like snuggles in the bed, making a smoothie or cookies, reading books and just generally hanging out like a lazy Sunday. It’s a super special way to tell your story.


Otherwise… An outdoor location. We can hit the beach, go exploring, find a swing by a creek, hit the cafes and get burgers and milkshakes, go for a picnic in the fields. Heck, we can even go camping! Think about re-creating a family tradition together. It’s always good to have an activity as it gives you all something to do with your hands and adds drama to the photography. Plus, the images look pretty rad!

Where will my session be held?

CAN WE SEE EVERY. SINGLE. PICTURE?

Um, no. Trust me, it’s for your own good! First I weed out the obvious rejects…closed eyes, unflattering angle, etc. Then I also narrow down very similar images to pick the very best, otherwise you would be completely overwhelmed and order selection would be excruciatingly hard!

WHAT IF MY KIDS ARE NOT IN THE MOOD?

We’ve all been there… I think it’s Murphy’s Law of parenting, the more you need them to behave, the more they act out! No worries, the best thing for you to do is stay calm and let me take over. I promise, a little distraction and a few silly faces and most kids can be channeled back on track. Threats and angry words from mom & dad have yet to make a kid relax and smile…trust me! I may need to pull the kids away from you for at least a little bit, and please know this is not personal. It’s just a fact of life – most kids just listen better and, most importantly, act more natural, when they are alone.

DURING YOUR SESSION…

· Please don’t worry about whether your children are smiling. I’ll take care of them. Not every portrait needs a smile.


· It’s confusing and overwhelming for kids to see multiple adults shouting, waving, and jumping around in different places. Let me act the fool first. Then, if I need some help, I’ll ask you for it and let you know where I need you stand.


· Children feed off of their parents’ energy. If you’re happy and enjoying yourself, they will be, too. If you’re anxious, they will be, too.


· Don’t worry about standing still, looking at the camera, or what to do with your hands. I’ll be there to help position you for formal portraits and encourage interaction for casual portraits. I love capturing images of family members looking at one another, rather than at the camera, so if a member of your family does something funny, enjoy it! Smile at them, not at me.
