I loved photographing this family as three becomes four, we had one day of perfect sun in-between days of rain, unusual for little Perth, winter here is often full of sunny days.
Family sessions are so much fun but can feel stressful at times without the right preparation and mindset, heres some tips to make sure you have the best time during your family session!
Just go with it- try to stop worrying and enjoy the moment with your family, your two year old might be running around rioting but thats okay! The most important thing to make beautiful photos, is to forget that we’re there to take photos, and just simply be in love and have fun with your family. I can’t make this happen for you. This is a result of you simply being happy with each other and excited for what’s coming.
Bribes go a long way! Look normally I might not advocate for bribing your children normally but for your family session it works a treat!! Maccas or ice cream on the way home works a treat to get a two or three year old to cooperate through a photography session when they would rather be running wild.
If the weather is looking average, reschedule! You only get to capture this moment in time and your children this age once. This lovely family below rescheduled their session twice due to rain and im so glad we didnt try to risk it because the day we were finally able to shoot ended up being the most perfect day in-between many days of rain.
Follow these tips and youre bound to have the best time during your family photography session!
After the session Cindy she shared “Oh my gosh thank you so so much for capturing us so effortlessly Amelia, especially with our crazy toddler in the mix. These photos are SOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!! We love them so much!!! Cannot wait to show my fam and friends and have these printed ASAP!”
