Family Photo Sessions

Let’s talk Family Photo Sessions! I believe that happy smiles are always better when they’re plastered on the faces of people actually having fun! When I photograph your family, my aim is to capture all the little quirks and expressions and relationships within it that make it unique.

Do we have to pose?

We’ll always try to get that one photo where everyone smiles at the camera. It might be perfect or imperfect, but I don’t really aim to capture perfect. I think what will become important to you and your kids in 20 years are images from your family photo sessions that visually show the connections between you all. Giggly laughs, a smile that means trouble, a tiny little hand holding your finger. Things that change and disappear as kids grow but can exist in photos forever. I want to capture connection and warmth, fun and play. Things like searching for crabs in rock pools, building sandcastles and stomping in puddles. Moments where your kids run to each other for a big squishy hug (or to tackle each other to the ground)!

If this sounds like the type of family photo session that you think would best preserve your family memories, get in touch! Scroll down to see more information on my session costs.

SHOOT DAY!

On the day of your session,
if the weather is looking fine, we will meet at the time and place we have previously co-ordinated! Otherwise I will be in touch to discuss our options for changing location or time, or rescheduling the date if needed.

My family sessions take place outdoors during the last hour of light before sunset.
This is imperative in order to get the
natural lighting and look of the images
that I produce!

your online gallery of all final

may be made available for an additional fee.

HOT TIPS TO MAKE SESSIONS with kids FUN AND EASY!

  • Prepare them for fun! I know sunset can be a tricky time of day for little ones, usually they're having dinner and winding down for bed/night routines, but shooting even an hour earlier is such different light and can ruin the look of the images so for one day we have to disrupt the routine. Hyping it up as fun afternoon adventure really helps!
  • BRING SNACKS! Hangry kids can usually be brought back from the brink with a quick snack, and sunset sessions are always right around dinner time, so little snack (not too messy and nothing that will stain) can help out! And wet wipes for dirty hands and mouths!
  • If you are including your dog and they don't have great recall, bring an extra set of hands to take them for short walks or keep them constrained while we get photos in between their glamour shots - also bring treats!
  • Comfy clothes are important! And a change of clothes/towel is always handy in case of mud/dirt/waves being irresistible!
  • Let me know in advance if you have a family member with extra or different needs, and if there is something I can do personally to facilitate a smoother shoot I would love to know! This can range from mobility or sensory allowances which can impact choice of location, the way I speak or engage with your loved one to make them more comfortable, or letting me in on a special interest that might engage them - you know them better than me so I'm always keen to do my best to make them enjoy the session!
  • Most of all, let go of any specific expectations and try to enjoy every one of those 60 minutes that we spend capturing memories however it plays out!
