Booking a family session can feel a bit overwhelming, can’t it? It’s almost like preparing for a mini-adventure. You’re probably asking yourself: Have I remembered everything? Are the outfits right? Will everyone be comfortable in the weather? That mental checklist can make any parent’s anxiety levels rise.

I get it – your mind is running through all the scenarios. What if the kids don’t behave? How will we know what to do in front of the camera? Will I look okay? What if my partner is reluctant, and it shows? Trust me, I’ve seen and heard it all before. First off, take a deep breath. There’s no need to stress yourself out before the day even arrives. I’m here to guide you, to answer any questions, and to help make sure your session day goes as smoothly as possible. I’m here to listen, to relate, and to reassure.

Take, for example, a lovely family from West London who trusted me to capture their genuine moments on a sunny afternoon in a local park. That’s my ultimate goal, to have you fully engaged and comfortable, knowing that the little moments we capture will become cherished memories. It might mean staying out a bit past bedtime, but for just one evening. The kids might have a squabble, or there might be a bit of mischief, but that’s okay. What matters is that we’re capturing the true essence of your family.

You’ll see it’s all worth it when you look back at the photos of your children running through the parks, playing games, and laughing until they’re out of breath. Each glance at those images on your wall will transport you and them back to that joyful day. The happiness captured in those moments is truly priceless.

In the meantime, here are a few tips for capturing great family photos:

• Find a location where your family feels comfortable in. This could be your home, a park, or your favourite spot in West London.
• Let your family relax and have fun! The best photos are often the ones where everyone is just being themselves.
• Don’t be afraid to get a little silly. Some of the most memorable photos are the ones that capture your family’s unique personality.
