Family Fun Unleashed

Ready to capture your family’s fun and wild side?

This isn’t about stiff poses; it’s about snapping those lively moments that show off just how fantastic your crew is.

Think cosy, fun, and true to who you are! Whether it’s your favourite casual outfits or something more dressed up, I always recommend wearing what makes you feel comfortable and confident. Coordinated colours (not matchy-matchy) always look great, but honestly, the best photos happen when you’re feeling like yourselves! So, if your kids love dressing up in their favourite quirky outfits, go for it—that’s part of your story!

Kids will be kids! Don’t stress—those unscripted, playful, or cranky moments can become some of the best memories. We’ll take breaks and embrace the chaos, and I’ll be there to capture the magic in between. My sessions are about fun and letting your family be yourselves, so there is no need to worry about everyone behaving perfectly. Those spontaneous moments are what makes the photos so real!

I like to keep things relaxed and stress-free, so sessions usually last 60 to 90 minutes. We’ll take our time to make sure everyone gets comfortable and has fun. There’s no rush—we’ll go with the flow and let the moments happen naturally. This way, I can capture the true spirit of your family without anyone feeling pressured.

It’s entirely up to you! We can shoot in a place special to your family—your home, a favourite park, or somewhere new with fantastic scenery. I love finding the perfect spot where you all feel at ease because that’s where the best, most genuine moments unfold. I’m always up for an adventure, so pick a location that reflects your family’s personality.

We can’t control the weather, but don’t worry! If it rains or is too windy, we’ll reschedule for a better day or move the session indoors. I always keep things flexible, so no matter what happens, we’ll still make sure your session is full of fun and beautiful moments.

Keep it fun! Let your kids know that we’re going to have a great time together—no need for perfect behaviour or big cheesy smiles. It’s all about capturing who they truly are, whether that’s giggling, running around, or just being themselves. Bring along their favourite snacks, toys, or anything that makes them happy, and we’ll make sure the session feels more like a fun family day than a photo shoot.

Absolutely! Pets are part of the family; I love including them in the session. Whether your dog loves to jump into the action or your cat prefers to observe quietly, we’ll ensure they’re part of the story. Just let me know beforehand so we can plan for a pet-friendly location and keep everything running smoothly.

Yes, I do! Whether it’s grandparents, cousins, or the whole gang, I love capturing big family moments. Extended family sessions are a beautiful way to celebrate your family’s connections, and we can make it as fun and natural as possible. Just let me know how many people are involved, and I’ll ensure everyone feels comfortable and gets their moment to shine.

You won’t have to wait too long! I’ll send you a sneak peek of your session within a few days so you can see some of the magic right away. The full gallery will be ready within 2 to 3 weeks, beautifully edited and ready for you to relive those moments. I know how exciting it is to see your family photos, so I’ll make sure you don’t wait long to enjoy them!

It’s totally normal—kids are unpredictable, and that’s part of what makes family photography so fun! If your child needs a break or has a moment, we’ll roll with it. Some of the sweetest, most memorable photos come from those perfectly imperfect moments. Whether they’re laughing, pouting, or having a cuddle, we’ll capture the realness of your family’s story, just as it happens.

We’ll keep it natural! I’m not into stiff, awkward posing. Instead, I’ll gently guide you into fun interactions that feel like you—whether it’s snuggling, laughing, or just enjoying each other’s company. The best photos happen when you’re relaxed and being yourselves, and I’m here to help you feel comfortable every step of the way.

My family photography is all about capturing the real, raw moments that show who you are as a family. There are no forced smiles or cookie-cutter poses—just the authentic, everyday magic of your life. I’m all about creating a fun, relaxed environment where everyone can let loose and enjoy the time together. The result? Beautiful, heartfelt images that feel like you and tell your family’s story in a way that’s uniquely yours.
