The Key to "Perfect Family Portraits" | South Jersey Newborn and Portrait Photographer

Want to know the secret to perfect family portraits?

If you’ve ever stressed about getting your family “picture perfect” for picture day, this blog is for you!

I KNOW how hard wrangling your family can feel. Family photos feels exhausting and too much work. I've been there!! But here, we do FUN. We do real, raw moments.

The key to a perfect family session is to go in with a new mindset. Imperfect moments, can make the most PERFECT photos. Whatever happens, happens… ya know?! Kids have meltdowns. Dads don't want to participate.

Moms- your family FEELS your energy. Stay calm and enjoy these moments. Pamper yourself, get yourself all done up. Relax and let the photos happen however they happen. Life isn't perfect, and photos capture life.

Let the kids run around and chase each other. Your baby doesn't want to walk and only wants to he held? Perfect, we'll snap some shots of you snuggling them. Not everyone is looking straight at the camera? Let me capture the emotions that they are feeling when they look at you, or look at a bird in the sky.

Make those memories. If that means your toddlers hair gets messy halfway through our session, so be it. Focus on reality. Focus on loving those babies and making the BEST memories with them.

You dont want to look back and remember how stressful it was to get everyone to look prim and proper. You'll look back at these photos and remember all those feelings of love and affection you had that day. You'll remember how much fun your kids had running around in circles and tackling dad to the ground.

Focus on that and let me do the rest!

Take a look at one of my most recent family sessions and you tell me… pretty perfect right?!
