Family photography doesn’t have to be stressful and it doesn’t have to be boring. You don’t have to pretend and be someone you’re not.
You just have to be YOU. You are enough, your family is enough, your every day is enough.
(And I LOVE when children are being 100% themselves: crying, screaming, laughing, messing and all!)
You don’t come to me. I’ll come to you and photograph you just the way you are. For shorter sessions, we plan a few activities together, but it can be as simple as playing in the back garden, having lunch or cuddling in bed. No posing, no directing, no cheesy smiles and looking straight at the camera.
That also means no pressure. Toddlers are allowed to run around, have tantrums and get dirty. Everyone wears what they love and be themselves. Even dads end up loving it (I swear!).
In our busy lives we often feel like we can’t “take it all in”. Mummy guilt kicks in. It’s easier to embrace a new phase when we know the previous one has been captured for us to look back on.
