Lifestyle family photography, everybody is talking about it but no on can really define it.  I think of lifestyle family photos as photos taken in the moment…  Like pictures where little kids take a bite of a lemon for the first time and you capture their expressions etc

The art of capturing these natural expressions (especially when photographing young children) is to make your photoshoot fun and relaxing.  Create a moment like we have done here by putting both girls into the shell with the coloured plastic balls and throw the balls every which way, and then you just move along with the family dynamics…

Small kids love to play, so encourage them to do so, think of fun poses to put them in like sitting on mom/dad’s back or throw them up in the air.  You can even use a featherduster to tickle them with   If you can do a party trick or two like juggling 3 balls or something which will intrigue them use it to your advantage

Together we had so much fun in the studio that these two little girls were apprehensive to leave again and this is really the kind of fun filled family experience we incorporate into every one of our unique photoshoot’s

Girls you were awesome models…  Thanks a mil!!
