The essence of your Family…

There’s a reason I ask you to come out just before sunset...
The light gets warmer, the air feels softer, and something about that time of day slows everyone down.

No pressure. No looking at the camera. Just connection, presence. Just you, as you are…

While I might give you some direction, poses or games to do,  most of the session revolves around enjoying the time together and being in the moment. The session will be focused on you simply being with your children : hugging them, tickling them, giving them a cuddle or chasing them ( for direct family only, I do not offer extended family session) . It's through doing this, that genuine memories and genuine love is captured.
