First and foremost, getting your photos taken should be fun! I know it can be stressful to figure out what to wear, or figure out the best location for your family, but hopefully I can take the stress out of that for you and share ideas for What to Wear. The main goal is that your family has fun!

I am a mom of five & my children hate the camera. This is where I started to lean towards story telling. Photo sessions used to stress me out so much, that I didn't want to book them. My kids and I would always leave upset because no one wanted to cooperate. Now that we no longer are forced to stand there and look at the camera, with an awkward, fake smile - everyone has fun & we manage to capture genuine smiles. It's so much more enjoyable now. It captures the true, wild side of my family.

My favorite images are always the ones where we allow the child to naturally explore and get into something he or she wants to do. When we let the child lead the way, they will naturally be motivated to interact and play, and this helps to bring out natural expressions from the child as well.

 

This little guy would stick with us for a few shots and then wanted to explore nature. He wanted to collect leaves big and small, and he wanted to look at the little bugs crawling on the stone. It was totally fine, we are at a outside! Let’s have fun and allow me document your child’s interest at this age. Let’s let them lead the way! Sometimes if your child doesn’t really show interest or maybe there is something that you know he or she will like, we can plan an activity.
