The secret to a great candid family session? We start by getting those classic, everyone-smiling-at-the-camera shots out of the way in the first few minutes. Think of it as the Christmas card moment—quick, easy, done. Kids are usually willing to play along for a bit at the beginning, so we take advantage of that window while their energy and attention are still fresh.
After that, we let things unfold naturally. We hang out, explore, and I capture your family just being you—laughing, playing, cuddling, whatever feels real in the moment. That’s where the magic happens. By the end of your session, you'll have that perfect posed photo and a collection of candid, heartfelt images full of personality and connection—photos that actually feel like your family and are worthy of a spot on your gallery wall.
