Family photo sessions are exciting, but let’s be real: they can also feel a little daunting, especially if you’ve got kids in the mix. And especially if they act like, well, kids! The key to a smooth and stress-free experience? Helping your little ones know what to expect. When kids feel prepared, they’re more relaxed - and that makes the whole session a lot more fun for everyone (including you!).

Did you know I also have a Social Story I’ve written especially for kids to read with you before our session. This can help HUGELY with what to expect during the shoot. I’ve got it added in the emails which get sent out before your session - but if you need me to email you another copy, just let me know!

Why this works?

Kids thrive when they know what to expect. A little preparation beforehand can go a long way in helping them feel secure and excited. It also makes the whole experience more enjoyable for you as a parent—you’ll spend less time worrying and more time soaking in the precious moments we’re capturing.

Let’s make this a family memory worth framing. Ready to book your session? I can’t wait to meet your crew!
