The most underrated location for your family photos 👉🏻
YOUR OWN HOME! 💕 Why?
👉🏻 You don’t have to go anywhere. Sure, you have to tidy away the clutter. But it doesn’t have to be “Pinterest perfect,” I promise.
👉🏻 Shy toddlers warm up to the camera faster. Being in their comfort zone means less time to open up and laugh and play - and that equates to more photos with genuine emotion.
👉🏻 Access to snacks, naps, and potty breaks. Need I say more? ESPECIALLY with an infant + toddler combo.
💕 In this newborn session pictured, I literally told the family to just play together and do the things they would normally do together as a family. So when their daughter got out her favorite puzzle, I followed their play and captured creative angles and connected moments as they unfolded. Then baby brother needed a nap so I followed them upstairs to photograph their routine. Mom nursed baby while reading her fave childhood book to big Sis. Then baby went down for a nap while we briefly went out onto the porch swing. To finish we got a group photo of the whole gang (dogs included) when baby woke up.
It was absolutely effortless and about as stress free as a photo shoot can get. And trust me, I’ve seen A LOT of photo shoots 😆
