How to ensure your photoshoot is stress free?
Surprise! Family photos don’t have to be on a beach at sunset, when your kids are tired and cranky because it’s past their bedtime AND it’s literally the last thing your husband or partner wants to do after work. Forced smiles, cranky kids and a tired partner doesn’t equal memorable photos. Don’t get me wrong, I love beach photos if you guys are beach people and it’s your happy place. But if it isn’t, don’t worry. There are options.
I choose to have my yearly family photos done at home, every time. I don’t pick anyones outfits. I let the kids wear their pj’s or dress up clothes if they like. I don’t buy anything for the shoot. I don’t clean the house. I take the pressure out of it and guess what? I get magical photos in return every time. Photos of us, being us. And I want this for YOU.
I want YOU to look back at your photos and remember this season in your life. Less about the clothes and scenery and more about the love and laughter. Your kids love their home and they love YOU. Let me capture YOUR magic. I want to capture your toddler waking up with his bed hair. Jam toast, fresh coffee, cuddles in bed, lego on the floor.
At the end of the day it’s not the perfect sunset photos we treasure; it’s the photos of your child playing on the floor with their mum and dad, with peanut butter smeared on his/her cheeks and a huge natural smile on his/her face. These little moments are monumental moments.
