I am a big believer that mundane everyday moments need to be celebrated and not hidden. Real life > posed life EVERY SINGLE TIME, friend.

We’re almost back to the time of year where I don’t have to check the weather app for rain ☔️ 14 times before every shoot.

Bring. It. On. 🌞

After so so many years absolutely VIBING with families in photoshoots and us all having so much fun, I have a bunch of ways I support kids to navigate the weird and wonderful thing that is a photoshoot.

I use a lot of these supports when I’m working with neurodivergent kids, but really they’re just good ways to work with kids full stop. Less pressure, fewer expectations, plenty of flexibility and absolutely no requirement to suddenly become a different child because I’ve turned up with a camera 😂

I could talk about this for HOURS. I’ll save you the three-hour chat, but the short version is: I’ve got plenty of ideas, we can change things up as we go, and your kid does not need to do photos “properly” for this to work.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever forced a smile in front of a camera and internally screamed 🙋‍♀️

Same, friend. Same.

Photoshoots are weird! You’re outside your comfort zone, there’s a stranger (hi, it’s me) pointing a lens at you, and suddenly you can’t remember how arms work. It’s a whole thing.

Here’s what I want you to know: feeling awkward and looking awkward are two completely different things. I’m literally here to handle the awkward so you don’t have to.

I’ll talk enough for both of us. I’ll tell you exactly where to stand if you want me to. I’ll prep you with everything you need to know before we even meet. And if you need quiet, breaks, fidgets, earphones, a shorter session, say less, we’ll make it happen.

No judgement here. Ever. Just come as you are, and let me take care of the rest 🧡

I know you’ve probably had approximately four hours sleep, your feet hurt and you’re still finding bobby pins in places bobby pins should never be... but those sneak peeks landing in your inbox will magically heal even the worst hangover IMO ✨

Squeezing in a family shoot before all piling into a decked out van heading off to travel Australia? Heck yes!

Loved hanging in the yard, hearing about the plans, snacking on some shapes and generally just vibing with this crew. Pretty sure after I left they literally kept doing exactly what was happening while I was there - playing in the yard, being a family, enjoying their Sunday arvo at home. Bloody love when my photoshoots don’t disrupt your day!

My day to day point and shoot camera is a Canon AE-1 from the 80s. I love everything about using this delightful manual film camera - but it falls victim to my busy life every time. Film being developed 6 months later is my current timeline 🤦‍♀️
