How to Have a Stress-Free Family Photoshoot

Believe it or not, your family photo session can be so much more than a stressful evening of making sure everyone is on their best behavior.

Do you want your family members to look their best and finally get that one perfect shot where you all are looking happy at the camera at the same time? Of course you do!

But, there’s more opportunity there. My advice is to let go. Show up to your scheduled session time, and just let go. I want to capture how beautiful, messy, and maybe chaotic your family is.

Yes, I promise to get that one perfect shot of everyone, but my goal for every session is to capture so much more. I want to capture the way your daughter looks up at you when you hug, or how silly your son reacts when he gets tickled.

I really want to snap a shot of you and your husband, since you probably don’t have a photo of the two of you alone since your wedding. So, my advice to you is to let go a little.

Let me do my thing. And then, after what I would hope is a fun experience, go spend some time with your family! Enjoy a fun dinner, maybe get the kids some ice cream? Create a new memory together instead of stressing about forcing the perfect photos!
