Here’s the thing. We all want our kids to cooperate and behave and give us those adorable dimpled smiles during the photo shoot. But the other part we know, love and can be so frustrating about kids is that they kind of just do what the want. The more we try to control what they do the less happy they get. And that’s pretty much the opposite of what we want to happen during your photo session.

So what do we do instead?

We let them be kids. We allow the silliness, we let them get out their energy, and we roll with it. I promise that I’ve got tricks up my sleeve and am always ready to engage your kids. The threats and the punishments when your kids don’t do exactly what I ask them to do just don’t work in our favor. Of course there is a time and a place for all that, but your family photo session is not it.

What I want you to do instead is indulge them. Delight in them. Think about a time that you were really on top of your parenting game. That time you were able to tap into the most patient and loving parent and really nailed it with your kids. Be that person. I will be there doing the same, and when it doesn’t go as planned, that’s ok. It rarely does. But do we still get those incredible, beautiful, and authentic photos of your family? Absolutely. You will be able to smile and laugh more and so will your kids when you just enjoy being together, and wow, does it make a BIG difference in your photos. I can make beautiful images out of a lot of chaos, I promise. It’s kind of my superpower.
