Playful Family Portrait Session
Would you like to spend quality time with your family and have amazing portraits too?
Playful Family Photography Session at the family’s home in Mountain View, California. We played around in their backyard for while and got some fun, emotion-filled portraits. Then we walked over to their local park, Cuesta Park, for some more playground fun. The kids had such a fun time. I’m not sure they even knew it was a photography session.
The Family Photography Session for AUTHENTIC moments of your real life and memories
You know all those fun, playful family moments in between your family portraits? That’s what my playful family photography sessions capture and so much more.
It’s as low key as a home hang out together in the backyard. It’s playing ball in the backyard, tending to the garden, or having a picnic and play. It’s spending time inside together with a board game or chasing kiddos around the house in a game of hide and seek. Or even snuggle time and a fun little game of peek-a-boo. We’ll brainstorm your family’s favorite things to do together and come up with a plan to capture them!
These are NOT exactly traditional family portraits, but they capture amazing, genuine family moments. And I’m always happy to do a few posed portraits for you at the start or end of our session.
“Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment, until it becomes a memory”
This is also THE EASIEST session for reluctant picture takers
For anyone who is camera shy or just feels awkward staring into the camera at someone you don’t quite know yet. For these sessions, you can ignore me. You really don’t need to pose, talk to me, chit chat, or ever look at the camera. You get to enjoy your family!
These brothers had fun playing in the backyard together. They had a baby pool of water on a hot summer day. Their parents let them splash each other, and they had so much fun! You can almost hear the joy.
This little boy just loves his mama so. They were spending time together in the backyard and I saw this sweet moment where he reached for her hand.
Not Sure What to Do?
Play time in your backyard
Baseball, Soccer, Golf, Bubbles, Trampoline, Fort, Gardening, any kind of make believe, follow your childrens’ lead and there will be magic
Play time at the park and play ground
Ice cream together
Cook in the kitchen together
Play whatever they love inside
Snuggle up and read books together
Capture the generations with play time with grandparents
Sibling play time only - if you think your kids would enjoy this but you’d prefer not to, that’s always an option as well.
Just Mom and me, or Dad and me
Just design me a session and tell us what to do! I’m happy to do this as well and bring the ideas.
I love capturing creative, artistic moments like these! They’re beyond your typical family portrait session, but I feel like they belong in your family photo album. They’ll bring you back to those moments. This was actually taken of my daughter during summer time. And it reminds me of when she was so little and carefree, just soaking in the summer time!
