“That was fun. When can I see you again?”

-Isaac, 5, after a session.

As a San Diego lifestyle family photographer, I’ve photographed kids for years. And given my pick, I’ll take kids being their wild selves over standing still and smiling cooperatively at the camera any day.

That’s right. I want your kids to act up and not listen during your family photo session. And I want you to not worry about it.

Because I don’t do stiff and cooperative.

Because my goal as your photographer is to give you warm, connected, meaningful photographs that bring you joy for decades to come. In ten years, I want you to look back on your images and smile, fondly remembering those wild little souls because that’s exactly what I captured at your session.

I want their authentic personalities and funny little quirks.

And I want you to not worry about it. Relax, and let me handle them.

Because my sessions are FUN. Let me take over the parenting duties for the hour, and stand back and watch as I engage them. Games, races, and silly jokes melt away the shyness and your child’s true personality shows up.

And yes, let them wander off and explore & play. I’ll follow them and capture that, too.

I’m just going to come out and say it – kids love my sessions!

So don’t worry, mom and dad. And for goodness sake, don’t shout directions at them over my shoulder! 😬 😆 I’ve got this!

So relax and enjoy your session and your family. I promise, you will love the results.
