Booking a family photo session is exciting, but one of the biggest decisions you’ll make is choosing the right style. Do you want those beautifully posed portraits with everyone looking at the camera? Or do you prefer natural, candid moments that feel like a glimpse into your real life?
Let’s break it down so you can decide what suits your family best.
1. Classic & Posed
This is the go-to family photo—everyone smiling, looking at the camera, and standing (or sitting) just so. It’s polished, timeless, and perfect for framing or gifting to grandparents. If you love a clean and traditional look, this might be for you!
2. Candid & Natural
Think of those sweet in-between moments—the way your toddler clings to your leg, the giggles between siblings, the way you brush your child’s hair back. This style captures the connections and real emotions of your family, without the pressure of standing still and smiling on cue.
3. Lifestyle & Storytelling
This is a mix of classic and candid, with just a little direction to help things flow naturally. I’ll guide you into the best light and settings, but the focus is on movement and interaction—walking along the beach, cuddling in the park, twirling your little one around. The result? Photos that feel like you.
4. Documentary & Raw
No poses, no guidance—just real moments, exactly as they unfold. These are the kind of photos that take you right back to a feeling: your child playing in the sand, your family laughing over a messy ice cream cone, bedtime snuggles at home. If you love authenticity and storytelling, this might be the perfect fit.
