Playful Family Photography
Playful family portrait photography that captures your family having fun together!
Tailored to your unique family
The first thing I want to do is get to know a little more about your perfect family photography session. I want to create a custom session to your family’s needs! Some families prefer sessions that are really quick and easy, and some families like to slow down and have a little, playful adventure. Some families love candid, authentic moments where we capture your child’s personality and genuine smile while others really love traditional moments with a gorgeous background and everyone together smiling into the camera. Some families are so happy to just stay home where they feel comfortable and little ones feel safe and calm. While other families love to explore new places, and their kiddos enjoy exploring.
You could have a session that’s like a tiny adventure…
Or a playful session at beautiful park
Or just stay in your very own backyard…
Custom Photography Session FAQs
Where will we take photos?
We’ll decide together. Sometimes your home is the best place, and other times it’s a local park. Some my favorite sessions have taken portraits at home and then walked to a local park to play.
What should we wear?
I created a guide to help - What to wear for your playful portrait session. Please do reach out if want to look at outfits together or want a second opinion!
What if my kids act wild or grumpy or….?
Ok, as a parent this one is challenging I know. And I totally relate to this because I’ve been on the other side and totally worried. I think as a parent the best thing to do is lean into it. Don’t try to fight it. We’ll shift gears and make it work.
How do I prepare my kids for the session?
Well, I’d say a good night’s rest goes a really long way! Sleep is magical of course! You can also tell your child that you’re going to a park to have a fun photo adventure with a friend. And definitely bring along their favorite snacks! And one trick I love is to have something fun to look forward to after the session. Try not to use it as a bribe but just as a way of making it a fun experience overall.
Can I order prints and books from you?
Yes, definitely! I offer a variety of print options available for you to order through your gallery. Let me know if you’d like to order prints.
Do you LOVE candid images? Do you CHERISH family time together?
I can take beautiful and meaningful pictures of your family doing almost anything! The more meaningful the better.
