What to Expect During Your Session with Me

If you’ve ever worried that your family won’t “do well” in front of the camera, let me reassure you. My sessions aren’t about perfect smiles or stiff poses. They’re about connection, joy, and documenting your story as it truly is. Here’s what you can expect.

A Relaxed Atmosphere

When we start, I give you space to settle in and get comfortable. Kids might take a few minutes to warm up, and that’s perfectly okay. I’ll guide you into natural interactions rather than forcing smiles.

Natural Prompts, Not Poses

Instead of telling you to “stand just so,” I’ll encourage movement. Snuggle your toddler, walk hand in hand, or whisper something silly to your teen. These moments create genuine laughter and emotion.

The In Between Moments

Some of my favorite images come when no one realizes I’m photographing. A parent smoothing their child’s hair, siblings giggling together, or a soft glance between you and your partner.

At the end of the day, your session is about creating space for real connection. My hope is that you leave not only with photos you love but also with memories of an experience that felt joyful and true to your family.

Much Love,

Jen
