These guys were so sweet, had to do a quick blog post on this family session with a toddler. Over the years I’ve really grown to love shooting with kids because their cute expressions throughout the session are always so fun to capture. Will definitely give a disclaimer that family shoots with kids are rarely pure smooth sailing – there is almost guaranteed to be some sort of tantrum or meltdown along the way, but usually there are way more adorable moments than messy ones, and that’s what I always try really hard to capture.
The key to family shoots is to always just let the kids run the show and to just go with the flow, exactly like this amazing family did. When their kiddo wasn’t cool with something we just moved on to the next thing, until we found some activities that she really loved. Like tossing the leaves, swinging in mum and dad’s arms, and swinging on the actual swings! Even after a few hiccups along the way, in the end it all made for one of the cutest family sessions I’ve ever had the joy of capturing.
