I know this because mine is like that too. But in many of those moments, you’re waiting for the smile, the giggle, the splash, that THING to happen. You’re ready with your camera and recording (most of the time). But what you aren’t, is in that moment. Not only are you distracted, possibly posing and hoping for that organic moment to happen again, but as the parent, you’re not actually in the footage either. That’s where I come in. I’ll become a little part of your family for a little while and capture the personality, quirks, every day and precious details that you’re constantly looking for and trying to recreate. And when I’m done, sure you’ll still have your roll of videos you look at time and time again, but you’ll also have a gorgeous keepsake that truly freezes time. Maybe we even do one every year so you can see how much you’ve all changed. That’s up to you. But be brave, step in front of the camera for a change and give a gift to your kids that money simply will never be able to buy.

I totally get where you're coming from. Being a woman, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves at the best of times, never mind in new motherhood or family chaos? But listen, who you are right now is such an important part of your story, especially for your kids to see. It doesn't matter if you're just starting out as a mom or if your little ones are growing up fast, I know exactly how to capture you in a way that's flattering and authentic. Just know this: I'd never showcase footage of you that I wouldn't be thrilled to have of myself.

Creating a film can be quite a time-consuming process, often taking anywhere from 20 to 30 hours, and sometimes even longer! Unlike photos, videos demand a significant amount of editing time to ensure everything is just perfect. Plus I add music, some sound and a whole lot of love to show your story beautifully. Although it may seem like an investment, I assure you it's worth every penny. The value of your memories captured on film will only grow with each passing year, as you revisit and relive the precious moments of your life today.

Just as I focus on capturing your most flattering angles, I apply the same attention to the environment where our session takes place. With my expertise, I know where to position myself, how to frame the shot, and which angles work best to minimize any distracting background elements. Your home and familiar environments are part of your story and your family is most comfortable there. Home is where the heart is and I think it’s best, however, if you really hate the idea we can brainstorm an alternative like outside or somewhere special.

Yes, and in our pre-chat we can discuss some activities or things to do that will showcase your laughter, your quirks, and your whole story.

It’s your call, but I encourage you not to over think it. Wear what makes you comfortable so your true self shines through! In general, opt for “less is more” in terms of patterns and frills, but make sure what you choose reflects your personality and is something you would normally wear, not a “photoshoot” outfit.
Note: *I toooootally over thought my first ever family photoshoot and then my baby spat up all over my carefully crafted outfit. I couldn’t really get back into the groove and don’t look like myself at all in the photos. Be you, in this moment. It’ll look great I promise.
