As your kids get older, don’t stop taking photos! I loved this recent family session with older kids at the Newport Civic Center.

I know it’s easy to focus on the kids for annual portraits. But, it’s also so important to get in the photos!

I found a new little spot on the Newport coast. It’s a bit of a hike down to the water, but it’s such a gem. Gorgeous cascading rocks lead down to the water.
Focusing on good family photos during your photo session is always a good idea! Unless you’re going to set up a camera on a tripod with a timer, you just don’t get all family members in the same frame. That’s why people go to a professional photographer!

Big kids! They don’t run from you like toddlers, but sometimes photographers need help because older kids can sometimes be timid at first.
I’ll preface my advice by telling you that it helps when you know a family. The ‘warming up’ period goes pretty quickly and they’re ready to laugh and have fun with you. So, keep your clients if you can!
The majority of my newborn sessions happen in my studio. And if not in my studio, then at a client’s home. But, every so often, I have a family that prefers nature.

The last hour of the day is commonly referred to as golden hour. It can be used to create a beautiful glowy photo. Or if used incorrectly, the image can be filled with lots of white blown-out highlights. So, how do you do a photo shoot at golden hour?
Is 20 minutes really enough time for a mini-session?
If you ask any of my clients that have had a mini-session with me, the answer will be a re-sounding YES.
Golden hour is not the only hour for photography! I schedule sessions at all times of day and each hour has it’s own positives and negatives.
Shooting in full sun can definitely be challenging, but there are a few little tips you can keep in mind to make your photos so much better!

It’s been a minute since I’ve offered spring mini-sessions. But, IT’S TIME! We’re so lucky to have an abundance of wildflowers and long grass. All that texture is so pretty for photos!
