The majority of my clients for family sessions are young families. Families that have just welcomed a new baby. Families trying to slow down those first five years of their children’s lives that seem to fly by in an instant.
Sessions with teenagers or older kids generally end up being part of a larger extended family session or when commemorating an event such as a formal. Excuses I have heard for not just booking a standard family session with teenagers are - well they just don’t like hanging out with us, they hate having their photo taken, they think having their photo taken by a stranger is weird.
Let me just say this - I have never photographed a teen who didn’t value the time spent with their family during our session. I have never had a mum or dad regret making the effort to capture photos of their older kids because those years are just as important as capturing them when they are little. I have never had a teenager refuse a cuddle with mum and dad in the same way they used to when they were little. As much as they appear to fight it, they are trying to hold onto their time with you too.
If you’re looking for a family photographer on the Gold Coast, I specialise in relaxed, natural sessions that capture genuine connection. I photograph sessions for mums-to-be, newborns and families, focusing on real moments and true-to-colour memories. If you’re searching for a session that is enjoyable for everyone, I’d love to capture your family.
