Feel free to bring along your furry friends! Do your kids love their bikes or scooters? Do they have a favourite toy who comes on every family adventure? Bring those too! Our aim is to capture the authenticity of your family’s everyday life. Our photos are honest and real and will reflect your family as they truly are.

Our photographers will give some guidance when necessary, but they’re also skilled at knowing when to step back and let your family naturally shine. Instead of orchestrating every detail, they understand your dynamics, ensuring the moments they capture are authentic and unforced.

Tips for a Successful Family Session

Tip 1: Embrace Your Authenticity

When it comes to our photo sessions, the best advice is simple: be yourselves. Our goal is to capture the real dynamics and unique personalities of your family. So, relax and let your genuine interactions shine through. Whether it’s a silly smile, a loving glance, or a playful exchange, these are the moments that make your family special. Embracing your authenticity ensures that the photos we create will be a true reflection of your bond. So, forget about striking a pose and just enjoy being together. After all, the magic lies in those candid, unscripted moments that perfectly capture your family. 

Tip 2: Embrace the Fun of Family Playtime

Here’s a little secret to a successful photo session: think of it as a fun family playtime! Let go of any stress or pressure and approach the session with a playful mindset. Imagine it as quality family time, where laughter, games, and shared moments take the spotlight. When you let loose and enjoy the experience, your family’s genuine joy and connections naturally shine through.

So, whether it’s a tickle fight, running races, chasing bubbles or simply sharing stories, these authentic interactions create the most heartwarming and memorable photos. The more you embrace the playful spirit, the more the camera captures the essence of your family’s happiness. Get ready to create not only stunning photos but also cherished memories of fun family playtime.

Tip 3: Keep the Little Ones Happy with Snacks

When it comes to our photo sessions, we want everyone to be comfortable and content – especially the little ones! So, here’s a handy tip: bring along some snacks. Having their favourite treats on hand can be a game-changer. Snacks not only keep hunger at bay but also provide a little distraction when needed. It’s a simple way to ensure that your kids stay happy and engaged throughout the session. Whether it’s a quick break for a nibble or a mini picnic moment, these snacks can make a big difference in keeping the atmosphere light and enjoyable. So, pack those snacks, relax, and let’s create some beautiful memories together!

Just a note – even with a hungry toddler tantrum, all is not lost!  these photos have just 5 mins between meltdown to gorgeous family photo below!

Balloons: Colourful balloons bring an element of fun and playfulness. They’re great for creating dynamic shots and adding a splash of colour.

Soft Balls: Soft balls are fantastic for candid interactions. Toss them, play catch, or simply roll them for genuine laughs and connections.

Favorite Books: Bringing your kids’ favourite books can lead to quiet, heartwarming moments. Reading together makes for adorable photos.

Nature Finds: When we’re outdoors, let’s take advantage of nature’s beauty! Leaves, flowers, and rocks can be used for interactive play and gorgeous photos.

Whether it’s giggles from playing with balloons or the tranquillity of reading together, these moments will be captured beautifully in your photos. So, pack these simple treasures, and let’s create memories to cherish forever.
