So if you want to see what’s new, stick around 😜 (especially if you’re a product based business 🤣)

Alright. Im always getting asked how I get cute photos of peoples kids - so you’re gonna want to save this one, because here are some of my best tips!! ✨
There are lots of factors that come into it - what time of day it is, whether they’ve had a sleep, what age they are - but here are the best ways to get those gorgeous candid photos of your babies!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Let go if expectations!! Stop thinking you’re going to get that perfect photo of the kids smiling sweetly at the camera! Maybe you’ll get it, maybe you won’t - but chances are it won’t be your fave photo anyway! Usually the best ones are when they're looking at you, or each other, or playing and laughing 😍
2. Bribery. Call me controversial, but bribery works!! Usually only on kids who are around 2+ years old, but I guarantee you it works! Little things like smarties and sultanas are great as they're quick to eat, you can ration them out and they wont leave the kids with weird coloured mouths 😜
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Get silly! Especially with little kids - you might find you just have to get silly! Make silly faces, blow rasberries, sing songs, dance, tickle... whatever you've gotta do to get those kids laughing!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. And on the topic of laughter - literally just tell them to laugh!! Usually it starts with a fake laugh, which progresses to a real laugh, and ALWAYS ends in an adorable photo with kids who are smiling (not grimacing... cheeeese 😬🤣)
5. Distraction! Bring along some activities, or use what you've got in the environment - throw some leaves, blow some bubbles, bring a ball to play with, have a running race, tell them to tickle each other or tell each other secrets! Giving them an activity to do will almost always distract them and get them in a good mood - and also makes for adorable pics! 😍

Look I could keep going about this all day, but I’m running out of space to write 🙊 if you’ve got any questions though, hit me up!!! I’m an open book and I love helping you guys out 🙌🏻💕

One of my fave photos ever 😍
If you’re not laughing your way through your shoot, I’m doing something wrong 😉
I don’t want you to feel stressed or like you have to pose, or look like a perfect model! I want you to have fun, laugh, play with your kids and be yourself 🙌🏻

I have a special love for in-home sessions 😍 you’re in your own space, everyone is a bit more comfortable. Kiddos and go and get some space when they need to escape the camera, and I get to catch these sweet little moments 😍
You don’t need a perfect house (or even a tidy house 🤣) just you and your little fam bam being yourselves!

Newborn sessions aren’t always all about the baby 😉💕
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I actually love in home sessions, not just for newborns but for any family sessions. They are a great option in winter especially, keeping you in the warm and not worrying about rainy weather 🌧🙌🏻

Back when Weston was still a bump (I like to take credit for helping labor start not long after this, with that walk down the hill into 🙊🤣)

Speaking of Raeburn: I’ve had a couple of people ask if I’m doing mini sessions there this year... at the moment it’s a no, but if I do it will be 30 minute sessions, and it will need to be within the next few weeks before the leaves have fallen 🍁
I’ve done 15 minute sessions before and it never feels long enough - I want to make sure I’m giving you guys enough time to loosen up and feel comfortable with me so we can get the best possible photos 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make sure you let me know if you’re a keen bean and if I have enough interest I’ll get the ball rolling 💕
