Williamstown Family Photography
A beautiful little family photo shoot in Williamstown with the most gorgeous family.
I was lucky enough to meet Rach when she was pregnant with her third baby, Lilah, to capture her last pregnancy. Looking like an absolute godess, we made an amazing gallery of her beautiful bump and had a great time chatting and having a laugh. Fast forward to last month, Rach saw that I was offering mini photo shoot sessions for Father’s Day. She got in touch and scheduled a time to capture the whole family as she was just starting to think about what to get her husband.
A short, snappy session suited her perfectly so we met at Williamstown Botanical Gardens just before the sun was due to set and captured her beautiful family - kids ages 7, 3 & 6 months. It worked so well with her 3 year old’s attention span. Just enough time to settle in but not too long that they got bored and distracted.
Rach loved the photos so much that she ended up buying the whole gallery of 36 photos and ordered a beautiful A2 sized print for the wall at home! I absolutely loved how the session turned out with the wintery colours of the garden, their beautiful family bond and Rach’s husband Chris got the best present for Father’s Day - memories that they can treasure forever.
Want a photoshoot but are afraid your kids won’t behave? I got ya
let them run free.
Do you have a toddler/kid that never does what they are told? do you get a sinking feeling when you think about getting photos of the family [cause you think said kid/s will probably go nuclear] and you won’t get those amazing pics you envisioned?
Don’t worry - I’ve got ya. I’m a mumma. I get it. my kids particularly get sick of being in front of the camera. that’s why I bribe them with a snack, prep them so they know what’s coming & I go with the flow to capture the in between moments that mean so much more. and I will do the same with your kids. We will chat about the right kind of session that is going to fit in with you & your family - whether that is in a park setting where the kids can run free or at home in the morning to catch them in their best morning mood.
Whatever the time, day, mood, the best thing to do is have fun. Have a play. Cuddle. These, in my opinion make for the best photos anyway. Keep the kids off the iPad on the drive to the session, plan to get there 5 minutes early so you don’t get flustered and take the opportunity to enjoy the loved-up one on one family time with your precious ones. Leave the rest to me. I will give gentle direction but essentially capture you & your unique magic just the way you are.
