Today, I want to chat with all you amazing parents out there who are planning a family photo session, especially those with little ones. 

I want to share some tips on how to make your photo session a stress-free and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. 

Say goodbye to posed, uncomfortable photos and hello to pure, genuine moments that capture the essence of your family's unique personality.

Silliness - Fun Family Photo Session - Minnesota

Do you remember how it felt as a kid when it was time to take a photo?

Well, I hear you, I remember it too - that uncomfortable chair, stool, or couch, the pressure to pose perfectly, the stranger ( the photographer ) trying to make you laugh, and that big, impersonal flash, strobe or studio light going off in your face!

It's no wonder that many kids don't enjoy having their photo taken.

But fear not! I can create a different experience for your little ones.

My approach to family photo sessions focuses on letting kids be themselves.

Letting them run free, with their messy hair and comfy clothes, in an atmosphere where they don't feel pressured to be perfect.

By creating a relaxed and fun environment, I can capture those truly magical moments for you and your kids!

It’s my SUPER POWER!

This way, the kids don't even feel like they're in a photo session.

They're simply having a blast, and I happen to be there to capture those wonderful memories.

Think about bringing bubbles ( and if you don’t have any, I always keep a stash of bubbles handy for the occasion ) , their favorite toys, or even planning a mini-adventure during the shoot. 

It's amazing how much genuine joy and laughter comes through in the photos when kids are just being themselves.

Remember, the key is to have a great time!

Embracing the giggles, the silliness, and all the joy that comes with being a family.

And let's not forget about bubbles—because who doesn't love bubbles, right?
