I've got your back!  Just know that capturing the most meaningful moments and creating the best experience overall is my absolute top priority.

Finding Joy in the Unexpected

I encourage you to take a deep breath and let me take care of the situation.  Trust me, I've been doing this for over nine years.. I have experienced all types of emotions!  When they're not into what we were initially trying to capture it's the perfect opportunity to discover joy in the unexpected.  I make sure to engage with them more and let them play in the way they want to.  This gains their trust and most importantly they're having fun!  So, we simply adjust to their needs and still capture AMAZING portraits of your family.  Instead of viewing their behavior as a challenge, we can frame it as an adventure! When we allow ourselves to step back and see the world through their eyes, we can find delight in their curiosity and spontaneity.

Making It Fun

Engaging with our children in fun and playful ways fosters a positive environment. I like to make every prompt into a game or encourage silly dance parties (those are truly my favorite), these moments turn into your most cherished photographs. By focusing on making the photoshoot enjoyable rather than stressing over perfection, we can nurture their creativity and self-expression!

Letting Them Be Themselves

Every child is an individual with their own personality, interests, and desires. Embracing this individuality is critical in helping our children feel valued and understood. When we let them be themselves, we offer them the freedom to explore and learn in their own way.

Choosing Patience Over Pressure

Instead of succumbing to frustration when things don’t go according to plan, we should practice patience.
