seattle lifestyle photographer: my mini session tips

Alright, buckle up my friends! It’s time for a mini-session reality check!

Picture this: you're gearing up for some fantastic family photos, and like any good adventure, a bit of guidance can't hurt.

We're about to embark on a photo journey, and I've got a few nuggets of wisdom to ensure it's not just a session but a memory-making extravaganza. Clear expectations make for relaxed and authentic moments, so let's spill the tea on what to steer clear of – consider it the secret sauce for unleashing the real, unfiltered magic in your family moments.

Ready? Let's dive in!

1. Ditch the Matchy-Matchy: Let's steer away from matching outfits, shall we? While I'll work my magic either way, matching family ensembles can come off as a bit cheesy and dated. If the temptation arises, let's chat about alternative ideas to ensure your family's unique style shines through.

2. Candid Doesn't Mean Constant Smiles: We've got your stunning family portraits at the start – those beaming smiles captured to perfection. Now, when it's candid time, let's switch things up. Rather than flashing those pearly whites at the camera, let the interactions unfold naturally. Genuine laughter and shared moments create the magic we're aiming for.

3. Keep It Easy, Breezy: The golden rule? Don't stress it. Just as you don't overthink every family hang, apply the same principle here. Forget the quest for perfection – this is about capturing everyday moments, not a curated facade. Let's make this session feel like another beautiful day with your loved ones.

Your trust means the world to me, and I'm here to make your family photos a joyous experience. Ready to learn more? Click that button below, and let's embark on this photographic adventure together.

love your photographer,
