Jones Family | Studio Session
Their love and connection shines through these images.
As a photographer who typically prefers the great outdoors, stepping into a studio for a family session was an exciting and refreshing change, especially because it was with my gorgeous sister and her fun-loving family. Their bond and affection are nothing short of heartwarming. Here’s a glimpse into our delightful studio adventure.
Embracing the Studio Light
While I'm used to working with natural light in various outdoor settings, the studio presented a unique opportunity to experiment with controlled lighting. Light isn't just a tool—it's a character in every shot. In this studio session, I used the beautiful natural light to enhance the bright and inviting atmosphere that reflected the family's vibrant energy. I also love when mama’s are in harsh sunlight so they can bask in all their beauty.
A Fun-Loving Family
Knowing my sister and her family pretty intimately, I already knew they had a strong connection and love. Laughter filled the studio, and their genuine love for one another was evident in every interaction. Whether it was the kids playfully teasing each other or my sis and her hubs sharing a knowing smile, their dynamic made for some truly candid and heartwarming moments. To capture every family's spirit, I always encourage them to engage in activities they love. This includes playful tickle fights, group hugs, and even a little bit of dancing. These natural interactions brought out their true personalities and resulted in photos that are full of life and joy.
Letting Kids Be Kids: A Crucial Tip
One important tip for any family photo session is to let kids be kids. Encourage them to play, be silly, and express themselves freely. This not only makes the session more enjoyable for them but also helps capture their true essence and genuine smiles. Don't worry about perfect poses—some of the best shots come from spontaneous moments of laughter and play.
The Final Shots
The end result was a collection of photographs that not only showcase the family's love but also the playful interaction of light and shadow. Each image tells a story of a family that genuinely enjoys being together, with the light enhancing every joyful moment.
Why I Love What I Do
Photographing families like the Jones’ reminds me of why I chose this profession. The ability to capture the essence of love and happiness, using light as my medium, is incredibly fulfilling. Each session is a unique opportunity to create lasting memories for families, and I am grateful to be a part of their journey.
If you're looking to capture your family's special moments in a way that highlights your unique bond, I would be honored to help create those memories for you. Let’s play with light together and make magic happen!
