GENUINE SMILES DURING FAMILY PHOTOS// I can’t be the only one. . .

My kids have 2 smiles. Their real smiles . . .

And then the one they whip out during family photos.

And if I’m investing in a family photographer, I don’t want the second one. 😅

After 6 years photographing families, I learned that it’s not because my kids aren’t photogenic.

It’s because they’re bored.

(Spoiler alert: spilling my number one way to get those real smiles that we mamas love.)

Add some fun.

If your child is just not cooperating, try dancing like a monkey in the background.

Or start making loud farting noises.

Kids love seeing their parents be silly and can’t help but honest to goodness crack a real smile at their parents' expense.

Like and save this post for your family photos this fall.

P.S. if you didn’t know, fall minis (like the one pictured above) are $50 off for a limited time! Send me a DM to book your spot!!

LOOK 10 # SLIMMER: Gym free edition (because as busy mamas, we don’t have time for that)

It’s been 2 years since I had Peyton and I am still rocking the baby weight. (Thanks HG)

But that isn’t stopping me from getting behind the camera this year and hoping I look more confident than I am.

So today I thought I’d share 3 go-to moves to instantly look slimmer for any other mamas who also want an instant confidence boost during their photos this year.

(Bringing back reels. Comment if posing reels would be helpful!!!)

Can we STOP blaming the kids? Because it’s not them.

It’s just that your family photos are boring.

Fun and play are so important for kids to perform well (and isn’t sitting and acting comfortably in front of the camera all a performance?) that Cambridge University did a whole study citing how it’s better than direct instruction.

So, before you tell your kid to use their ‘real’ smile, try turning it into a game of peek-a-boo, a dance party, or farting noises.

Comment if you’re going to use these tricks during your next family session.

I can go on and on about this session! From dream client, to dream lighting, to amazing photos!

Before the session, Jennifer had reached out about what to wear (give this a like if this is you mom ❤️). While I LOVE my style guide (gives you survival tips and how to get the kids and dad on board), I love making family sessions less about the to-do list and more about being together.

I sent her personalized links for her and her daughter off Amazon so she could order and be done. 🤌🏽

And might I say, she looks stunning. 🥰

If you’ve seen my old reels, you know I love a good pose. And while posed pictures may not be as trendy anymore, I don’t plan on stopping them anytime soon.

When we started Chanae’s family session 30 minutes late, instead of waiting for picture perfect moments, I guided the family in and out of poses and encouraged natural smiles through play. She ended up with a gallery of 94 final digital images!

I know I may be doing myself a disservice by saying I still pose family in their photos, but if I can remove some stress from another mom, I’ll all for it. ❤️

Chanel and her family are as sweet as they come! They are down to earth, real and just full of love. We had a blast capturing some amazing pictures. And even got a minute where grandma and grandpa took the kids so we could to get a few shots of just mom and dad ❤️.

Such a fun night with Kelly and Tyler! It’s been a minute since I’ve done engagements but it was such a nice change of pace from families. They were so relaxed, giggly and in love! Congrats Kelly and Tyler on the engagement!! I’m so happy for you and loved being a part of it! Here are just a few of my faves!

The kids are down so it’s time to work. Getting ready for 2 sessions this weekend (possibly a third 🙌🏽🙌🏽) and am getting super excited to meet these amazing people. Fun starts Friday! But on another note, how do you mamas work with littles once nap time is gone? That use to be my “catch up on sleep” time since I work late into the night. 😅 Should I just accept this is the season I’m in right now or do you seasoned mom bosses have any tips and tricks for me to either get work done during the day so I can get to sleep a little earlier? Please help a fellow mama out!

Don’t mind me over here crying in the corner. Peyton is transitioning out of naps and I’m not ready for it. 😭 Next will be potty training, then big girl bed and then school. 😢 I’m not ready for her to stop being my baby.
