For outdoor family sessions, my goal is for everyone to have fun and enjoy spending time together (even dad!) When starting a family session, I will group and pose everyone (so no worries on not knowing what to do!), as well as give little prompts and fun games to help you interact together. My end goal and favorite moments to capture are the ones that unfold naturally; those images where everyone is laughing at a joke or being silly, smiling at each other, mom playing with her baby girl's curls, and dad swinging one of the kids around. Basically, photos of you and your family being your unique and authentic selves! I know most dads aren't fond of taking photos so I try to make it as fun as I can and try to keep as much pressure off dad as possible (so you don't need to smile at the camera the whole session, in fact, I encourage you not to!) Like all of my sessions, I don't bring many props (if any) but I do bring along a quilt or two for families to sit on in the grass, and I have a rustic kid sized bench for kiddos to sit on.
