I hear this from moms all the time: “I’m worried my kids won’t cooperate during our photo session.”

And here’s what I always want them to know: They don’t have to! 🤍

Photos are meant to become memories, and memories aren’t made by performing or trying to be perfect. They’re made by being ourselves, enjoying the moment, and showing love to the people we love most.

And isn’t that exactly what kids are great at?

So when you come to a session with me, please don’t worry too much about your kids behaving perfectly, sitting still, or looking at the camera the whole time. Sometimes, the more we ask them to do those things, the harder it gets for everyone.

Instead, just enjoy your time together. Play with them, hug them, make them laugh, let them be silly, and let them be kids.

We don’t need everything to be perfect to create beautiful photos.

Your kids don’t need to perform for the camera. They just need to be themselves, and I’ll take care of the rest. 🤍

Beautiful photos start long before we step in front of the camera! 🤍

One thing I always tell families is that a little outfit planning can make a BIG difference in how relaxed and enjoyable your session feels.

And when it comes to little ones, comfort is everything! I want your kids to run, jump, twirl, explore, and just be themselves without you having to worry about fixing their outfits every few minutes.

So here’s a little tip for all the girl moms out there! Especially if you have a toddler who loves wearing dresses.

Swipe through for a simple detail that can make your photo session a little easier!

✨ Save this post for your next family session! And tell me, are you the mom who’s constantly fixing everyone’s outfits during photos? Because I get it! 😂

There’s something so beautiful about maternity sessions.
The anticipation, the excitement, the little kicks, and all the dreams about someone you haven’t even met yet but already love so much.
It’s such a special season of life. Your body is changing, your family is growing, and somewhere in between all the preparations and waiting, there are these quiet moments of connection with the little life growing inside you.
And while pregnancy can sometimes feel like it lasts forever, one day it becomes a memory.
I think that’s what makes maternity photographs so meaningful. They’re not just about documenting a growing belly, but about remembering what it felt like to be waiting for someone who was already such a big part of your world.

Fall sessions always feel a little extra special to me.

Maybe it’s the changing colors, the cooler air, or the way everything starts to slow down a little. But I think what I love most is knowing that we’re capturing families in a season that will never look quite the same again.

The kids will be a little taller next fall. Their personalities will change. The way they hold your hand, climb into your arms, or laugh at the smallest things will change too.

And that’s what I love about these photos.

Yes, the fall colors are beautiful….but the people in them are what make the photos special.

Your child doesn’t need to sit still, smile on command, or “behave perfectly” for beautiful photographs.
Some children jump right in. Others need time to observe, explore, or stay close to you—and that’s completely okay.
A photography session isn’t about asking children to perform. It’s about giving them space to play, move, laugh, and show me who they really are.
The best portraits happen when children feel comfortable enough to simply be themselves.

One of the things I’ve loved most about this summer is realizing how many of the families I’ve photographed are families who have trusted me since I first started my business.
Some of them I see every year, some I may not see for a while, but every time I do, their kids are a little taller, a little older, and somehow I’ve been there for so many of those stages.
I think that’s one of the most special parts of what I do. I don’t just get to photograph a family once. I get to watch them grow. I get to know their kids, see their personalities change, and keep memories for them along the way.
And honestly, I’m deeply grateful for that.
This photo doesn’t even need to show their faces. It’s just them, walking together toward another summer memory. And years from now, I hope they look at it and remember exactly what it felt like to be there.

Photographing other people’s families: easy.
Photographing my family: survival mode.
But that’s the beauty of it…
I don’t want perfect.
I want THEM.

Getting out of the door that day wasn’t easy.
The kids didn’t want to wear what Mom had in mind, and honestly, that’s a huge part of why I always encourage kids to be involved in the process. They don’t have to love every outfit Mom picks for them.
And when we got there, they weren’t exactly thrilled about taking pictures either.
At first, I think they thought this was going to mean standing still, smiling at the camera, and doing what they were told.
But once they realized that wasn’t the plan… everything changed.
They started exploring. Running. Laughing. Playing with each other.
And Mom? She forgot about everything that had happened before leaving the house.
She stopped worrying about the clothes, the moods, and whether everyone was “behaving.”
She just enjoyed the moment.
She laughed. She played. She loved on her kids.
And those are the moments I want you to have during your family session.
Not a session where everyone has to stand perfectly still and smile.
A session where your kids can be kids, where you can actually enjoy being with them, and where we create photos that feel like your family.
Because sometimes the best photos happen when nobody is trying so hard to take a picture.
