You have a camera in your back pocket & 10 photographers down the street, capturing family moments has never been easier. Yet, the concern is about the authenticity of these photos – many feel staged, forced, and far from reflecting the genuine essence of your family's love and connection. This dilemma begs the question: How can we capture moments that truly represent who we are and the love we share?

Have you ever looked back at your family photo album and found yourself wondering why everyone looks so stiff and posed? I know I have! I actually have this large beautiful print of my family when we only had 2 kids. It really is beautiful, but it doesn’t feel one bit like our family! We are at a farm we only saw that one day of the session, we’re wearing clothes we would not generally wear and I’m holding a baby in a way which doesn’t feel familiar to me as a mom. Those are the thoughts I have each time I see that big beautiful picture.

The truth is, traditional family photography sessions often create an environment that is far from natural. The pressure to appear perfect, coupled with unfamiliar locations and contrived poses, can result in photos that lack the warmth and authenticity you cherish. Also as a mother, it adds so. much. stress. hoping everyone will “perform” during a short session time in a place where everyone is out of their comfort zone.

BUT IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY. Imagine a scenario where you and your family are in your own space, surrounded by the familiar and comfortable environment that you call home OR maybe in one of our family’s favorite outdoor spaces. This is the essence of Family Film + Photos Session – where the aim is to capture the real interactions, emotions, and connections that make YOUR family unique. By staying in your own, familiar environments, you and your loved ones can relax, letting your guard down and allowing your genuine personalities to shine through.

The heartwarming smiles, the shared laughter, the quiet moments – these are the true treasures of family life. A session when everyone is free to be themselves is when we can capture these fleeting moments in their purest form, providing you with tangible proof of the love you share. For mothers who often find themselves behind the camera, this is a chance to be present in the photos that reflect the life you've built and the bonds you hold dear. The reward is not just beautiful photos, but a visual narrative of your family's journey.

In an era of fast-paced living and ever-changing technology, holding onto authentic memories becomes paramount. I want to give you the chance to slow down, intentionally connect with your family and have the beautiful proof of the love you share in photos & video. Natural family photos aren't just about freezing a moment in time; they're about preserving the emotions, connections, stories (& EVEN voices with video!) that make your family truly special.

My friend, let’s take a step away from the artificial and step into the realm of real emotions, authentic connections, and a visual testament to the life you cherish. After all, the beauty lies in the imperfections, the laughter, and the love that define your family – and that's what truly deserves to be captured.

Let’s make something beautifully honest!
