Family sessions for many people are often dreaded and straight avoided because we are so worried about all the what if's. I just wanted to give you a little insight into my family sessions and how I operate. I have a few tricks up my sleeve, and I'd like to share them with you. My sessions or any sessions shouldn't be work. We should have genuine fun, or I'm not doing it right. Please take a look below at some of my favorite go-to poses.

Can you imagine your family here?

There will be lot’s of cuddles.

I love this game where your kids run into your arms. I usually get some great smiles from mom and dad. Kids love to show you how fast they can run too.

Or whent he kids start getting bored with running back and forth we play Ring Around the Rosie.

Of course I want to get a cute photo where everyone is looking.

Maybe two if your little ones cooperate.

And when you think I am not looking, “Suprise, Suprise” one of these little photos will show up in you gallery.

If you want to bring the entire crew, go for it. I love Extended family sessions. This family brought everyone. It was really sweet to get all the children together to play on the beach this evening. I bet mom and dad treasure these type of photos with their entire family. I know I do.

Grandparents love these games too. I will usually switch the parents out with the grandparents while the kids are still excited to play.

When those babies get tired of all that boring stuff it’s time for some more swinging.

Oh and the babies love sand. I try to get close ups of your babes with all their cuteness. This is often the first time they get to play with it so it’s funny to see their reactions to it. You can always see the moment they decide that eating sand was a bad idea.

We usually end the night with something silly weather it’s funny faces or a candid moment. We always end on a high note. The kids are usually soaking wet or covered in sand but they ALWAYS leave with a great big smile.
