ON PICTURE DAY
FAMILY SESSIONS CAN BE QUITE DAUNTING. IT DOESN'T ALWAYS GO TO PLAN & THATS TOTALLY OK. I WILL ALWAYS MAKE SURE I AM HAPPY & YOU ARE HAPPY BEFORE I LEAVE. BELOW IS A FEW TIPS FOR FAMILY SESSIONS THAT MAY HELP IT RUN SMOOTHLY.
HAVE FUN
GETTING YOUR PHOTOS TAKEN SHOULD BE FUN! I KNOW IT CAN BE STRESSFUL FIGURING OUT WHAT TO WEAR, CHOOSING A LOCATION, GETTING EVERYONE EXCITED... BUT I AM HAPPY TO HELP IN ANY WAY I CAN.
I'LL AIM TO KEEP YOUR FAMILY TOGETHER DURING YOUR SESSION TO CAPTURE YOUR CONNECTIONS SO WILL ASK YOU TO KEEP YOUR CHILDREN CLOSE AND ENGAGE WITH THEM! THIS MIGHT MEAN TICKLING YOUR SON, OR YOUR DAUGHTER GIVING MUMMY THE BIGGEST (STRONGEST) CUDDLE SHE CAN. IT CAN ALSO MEAN PIGGYBACK RIDES, SWINGING IN THE AIR, FUNNY JOKES... WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOUR FAMILY IS FINE WITH ME!
FOLLOW YOUR CHILD'S LEAD
MY FAVOURITE IMAGES ARE ALWAYS THE ONES WHERE WE CAN ALLOW YOU/YOUR CHILDREN TO EXPLORE AND HAVE FUN. LETTING YOUR CHILDREN LEAD WILL ALMOST ALWAYS REVEAL TRUE EXPRESSIONS, SMILES & LAUGHS BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING ALLOWED TO INTERACT AND PLAY.
PLUS, YOUR CHILDREN ARE ONLY SMALL ONCE, LETS MAKE SURE YOU CAN HAVE THOSE MEMORIES!
ENGAGEMENT
THE MOST EXCITING THING ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY IS EVERY SESSION IS UNIQUE. ENGAGING YOUR CHILD IN ACTIVITIES AND ALLOWING THEM TO STAY FOCUSED AND INTERESTED IS KEY. IF YOUR CHILD WANTS TO LOOK AT THE BUGS IN THE DIRT, FOLLOW THEM AND INTERACT - MAKE IT A STORY THAT I AM ABLE TO CAPTURE AND YOU ARE ABLE TO TELL.
THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS I WANT TO EMPHASISE IN MY PHOTOGRAPHY - YOUR STORY IS YOUR OWN.
YES, WE CAN TRY POSES YOU'VE SEEN OR LIKE, BUT IN REALITY IF YOU WANT TO CAPTURE YOUR FAMILIES BEAUTY AND UNIQUENESS, LET IT REVEAL ITSELF ON THE DAY.
