Effortless Family Photography Requires Lots Of Effort

Have you ever left a family session thinking:

• I wish my clients were less camera aware.
• This family seemed so stiff.
• I'm tired of doing the same boring poses.
• Why does the dad never seem interested in being there?
• The kids lost interested so quick.
• I feel like I have no control over my sessions.

You are not alone!

In my 5 years of teaching connective photography, speaking at photography conferences and coaching photographers, these struggles have consistently always come up! 

Family photography is so much more than outfit styling, pretty locations and pinning endless poses to use at our shoot on Pinterest. If you want to achieve connective effortless looking images, it requires an extra level of effort that can't be achieved by just focusing on the aesthetic. It is about diving deeper, not just relying on the pretty veneer of surface level but embracing the complexity that is working with families.
