Manifesting more family photo sessions like this in 2025 🤍
I’ve had a handful of family photos over the years, but man this one filled my heart to the fullest. This is how I‘ll be planning them from here on out, when vision & playfulness go hand in hand.
A few tips for family photos with littles:
- Find locations with activities (like playing in waterfalls and picking berries), for more true-to-life candids than posed/forces photos
- Let the emotions fly. Photo sessions are still real life and not pretending like everything is perfect for an hour or two. It’s my job to document the good moments and make art out of the grumpy ones. Cracking down and making sure everyone is smiling and having fun usually has the opposite effect.
- Don’t worry about perfection. I’m here to clean up and photoshop out phones in pockets, people in the background, stray hairs, or smudged makeup. That hour of photos should be focused on each other and making memories, I take care of the rest.
These are my favorite family photos I’ve taken to-date. Hoping next summer will still be full of barefoot waterfall adventures 🌿
