Hi Mom. Yes you. The one who’s been dreading family photos or putting them off because you’re nervous your kids won’t behave”. This one’s for you.
I’ve had kids run around, refuse to look at me, hide behind Mom, get distracted, get silly, need a snack, and completely ignore the plan.
And we still get the photos.
Some of my favourite images come from those exact moments.
So instead of spending the whole session saying, “Look at the camera,” “Sit still,” or “Stop doing that,” just be with your kids.
Cuddle them. Chase them. Laugh with them. Let them be weird, shy, silly, or curious.
Come fed. Give yourself time to get here. Don’t plan a million things beforehand. And please don’t feel like your kids need to perform for me.
Because I’m not there to make your family look perfect.
I’m there to document what your family actually feels like right now. And I promise, that’s the s**t you’ll care about years from now.
Stop trying so hard!!!
Define perfect …..
Fed is best. This applies to every age 😂
If you can plan photos to be the only “mission” of the families day, that’s always best case scenario.
And ENJOY IT.
