Vibrant & Playful Family Photoshoot


Do you and your kids love adventure, color, and a bit of nostalgia? I’m looking for an energetic family to star in a retro-inspired photo session that’s fun, colorful, and full of movement. This isn’t your typical posed portrait session – it’s a playdate with a camera in hand! Think ice cream parties, bike rides, skateboard tricks, bug hunts, and paper airplane races – all the joyful, silly moments that show off your family’s personality. If your crew is lively, expressive, and ready for anything, this might be perfect for you. 💛


Why This Session?


I’m on a mission to capture real, carefree moments of family life in a vibrant, retro style. This means lots of movement, laughter, and genuine smiles. We’ll embrace a nostalgic vibe (imagine warm afternoons and old-school fun) while celebrating what makes your family one-of-a-kind. The tone is lighthearted and adventurous – a chance for your family to express yourselves and maybe even try something new together. No stiff poses here; just pure, unscripted fun in every shot. 📸✨


Who I'm Looking For:


  • A family with two or more kids (toddlers, big kids, or in-between) – the more energy, the better!
  • Parents and kiddos who are up for adventure and don’t mind being a little silly. (Whether it’s a mom and her little ones, or mom, dad and kids together – all family types are welcome!)
  • Loves to or are willing to wear bold, vibrant colours, patterns (Don’t worry, I will provide styling tips to make your outfits pop!).
  • A home with great natural afternoon light or an outdoor spot that has an open, nostalgic feel (think parks, backyards, or quiet streets where kids can roam free).
  • Must be comfortable with images being shared publicly (you’ll sign a consent/model release so we can show off these awesome photos!). 👍


Session Highlights:


  • 🎈 Fun & Games: This session is all about play. We might capture the kids licking drippy ice cream cones, racing on their bikes or scooters, launching paper airplanes off the front porch. Expect lots of action shots and giggles!
  • 🕺 No Posed Smiles: Forget “say cheese.” We’ll run, jump, dance, and play, letting your family’s natural energy shine. I’ll snap away while you make memories – maybe a goofy face contest or a tickle fight – so we get those authentic laughs and smiles (and maybe a funny ice cream mustache or two).
  • 🌟 Retro Vibes: The style will have a fun throwback twist – retro-inspired outfits and props to give that nostalgic feel. Think bright polka dots, vintage tees, or maybe a cool 80s inspired bicycle. It’s like a colorful trip down memory lane, captured with a modern artistic touch.
  • 🌞 Golden Glow: We’ll shoot in the late-afternoon light, so everything has that warm, golden glow. Whether we’re in your cozy living room or in your garden, or out at the park, the lighting will add a dreamy, magical touch to your photos (hello, golden hour!).
  • 💖 All the Feels: Most importantly, this session will capture your family’s love and personality. Are you goofy? Adventurous? Full of cuddles? However you are together, we’ll celebrate it. These photos will be bursting with heart and energy, truly showing what makes your family unique.
