A Roanoke Creek Family Photo Session
My number one tip for family portrait sessions with small children is this: be PLAYFUL and embrace the chaos, messiness, and JOYS of childhood!
There is just something about being outside in a place where families can just relax and have fun that makes for the BEST family photos! Any place that is fun for kids gives such freedom and authenticity to the session makes for genuine family portraits that really helps capture a family’s personality. Find something that fits for your family - playing in the creek, playing in bubbles or a sprinkler in the backyard, baking together in the kitchen, dance party in the living room - really lean in and make it your own!
These are truly my favorite types of sessions! This family is the sweetest. I’ve been photographing them for years and these moments are so special to document and help tell the story of their lives together & watching them grow! We had beautiful weather and they really nailed it on their wardrobe choices.
