“But my kids go to bed at 7:30…”

I completely get it, because girl same. 😅

As moms, we spend so much time protecting our routines because, let’s be honest, bedtime can make or break the next day. The thought of keeping everyone up later for family pictures can feel like setting yourself up for disaster.

But can I tell you why I still recommend those later evening sessions?

Because the light is worth it. Hands down- worth it.

That soft, golden, glowy light you see all over my page only lasts for a short window before the sun goes down. It’s what makes skin look creamy, colors feel rich, and gives your photos that dreamy look that never goes out of style.

But here’s something I’ve learned after photographing so many families…

It’s almost never the late bedtime that’s the problem.

Kids have a hard time when they’re hungry.
When they’ve been rushed.
When they’re overstimulated.
When they’re expected to stand still, smile, and perform.

So that’s not what we do.

We wander.
We chase each other.
We pick flowers.
We search for bugs.
We play games.
We snuggle.
We laugh.
Dad gives shoulder rides. Mom gets surprise kisses. Everyone ends up in a giant tickle pile.

The whole session is built around letting your family be exactly who you are.

And as a mom myself- (currently to 10 wild hoodlums🤪) I know a late bedtime isn’t always ideal. But I also know that one evening of making memories together is something you’ll still be looking back on years from now.

So if your little ones stay up an extra 45 minutes this one time…

We’ll make it worth it.

And if they decide to be completely feral? Don’t worry. Those are usually the kids who make the best galleries anyway. 😉

Ever wondered what a golden hour family session gallery looks like?

Take a look at this one ✨
