The two most popular questions I get about family photo sessions are:
-What’s the secret behind an AMAZING photo session?
-What should we be doing during a photo session?
Honestly, the answer to both questions is the same: Just be yourself! I know this deceivingly simple answer can stir up a gamut of insecurities when it comes to meeting a stranger (especially someone wielding a big, clunky camera) for the first time or even inviting them into your home (Gulp!). Still, nothing is more beautiful and authentic than being YOU.
And do you want to know the secret sauce for transforming your photos from meh to stellar? It’s my pre-session questionnaire. Whether it’s a family photo session at home or on location, this little piece of magic will tell me what makes your heart skip a beat, guiding what we will do during our time together.
For this family, the heart of their home is at the piano. And at 4 years old, this is where you’ll find little G feeling the vibrations of the music and rhythmic tap of his Papa’s foot at the pedals with his younger sister (AKA his #1 fan) within reach, cooing in the background. It’s also remembering the high-octane energy of a silly and wacky toddler, the big smiles and giggles of his little sister, and all the snuggles woven in between.
This is what a documentary-style family photo session is all about, and I’m here to celebrate you in all seasons of your life.
