My Approach to a Family Session | Nashville Tennessee Photographer

The key to these, is really and truly RELAX and have fun with your family.  I know I'm awkwardly standing in front of you guys asking you to pretend I'm not there, but these sessions are about you, not me!  "Let them be little", let them play with the sand and get their clothes wet, happy kids make happy portraits!

It's not a total unruly event, I do provide some guidelines and poses for sure!  I help you to relax, and find your groove in the session.  It can take a little bit for the kids to warm up to the idea.

What to wear is something I know gets stressed about and it IS important.  It can be very helpful for Mom to find what to wear first, and then work from there.  Also, don't match but rather, coordinate.  Something to definitely avoid are neon colors and clothes with words on them, and of course, everybody wearing strong prints.  

In the end, I want to take pictures of your family that you will truly love forever!  Like "run in a burning building for them" kind of love.  While not every picture you receive will be the ONE you put on your wall (although there will be plenty of those!), they will for sure tell the story of what your days with your kids looked like, what they felt like!  And they will bring us back to these days of Okinawa island living!
