Send this to a husband that can learn from this man’s success. He absolutely nailed it with this year’s birthday gift to his wife, booking a family session with yours truly 💅🏻. This family was 🔥 to work with - playful, natural, creative and just so much fun. I usually ask people to do pretty weird things at their sessions, but these girls did (delightfully) weird things unprompted and it brought me next level joy. Morals of the story: buy your wife a photoshoot and don’t be afraid to let your kids be themselves!

When it comes to reality, let’s have more embracing and less escaping, ok?

Tell me if this sounds familiar: you had family photos done, and they’re beautiful. But… they look a lot like the last set of photos you had done… and like your neighbour’s family photos… and your cousin’s… and your coworker’s. You know deep down that your photos can be more… more unique, more interesting, more fun to take, more YOU… but you’re not sure how. I have the answer, and it’s super simple: activities. Incorporating an activity (or a few!) into your session is the fast track towards adding your unique personality to your photos. Need some ideas to get started? I got you 😉. Comment or DM the word “list” and I’ll send you 50 awesome ideas to take your next session from boring to bespoke!

Ok, ok, I know. I always advise you to wear neutrals for your photoshoots, and I still believe they are the most reliable, timeless, hard-to-get wrong option, but sometimes you just need the dopamine hit that comes from more COLOUR!
I have so many photos I want to share from this session at , but I love them all too much to bury them too deeply in a carousel, so I’ll be spacing them out as little bits of of joy for your feed. 🌈
