Here’s how it actually goes
We meet somewhere gorgeous but low-stress. Beach access with easy parking, a little boardwalk with sea oats, or even your backyard at golden hour. No one’s sprinting, no one’s sweating in a panic, nobody’s yelling “smile for the camera.”
Then we move. You’ll get simple, easy prompts (“walk toward me and bump hips,” “snuggle in like you’re cold,” “everyone look at whoever laughs first”). That keeps hands busy, gives kids a “job,” and gets you out of your own head.
We don’t chase ‘perfect,’ we chase ‘true.’ The way your toddler hides in your legs. The way your partner looks at you when you’re not posing. Wind, freckles, sunscreen noses — that’s the good stuff.
Afterward, you get a gallery that feels like memory, not a studio backdrop. Clean color, beautiful light, and images you’ll actually want to have framed. Because the point is not just “did we get Christmas card material?” The point is “this is us, and I never want to forget it.”
