Ever thought about doing a Family Photo Session right in your own backyard? Most people picture packing up the car, heading to a pretty park, and crossing their fingers that the kids don’t get grass stains in the first five minutes—all while begging everyone to cooperate for the photographer. And hey, I love those sessions, they’re my jam! But let’s be real, they can be pretty stressful for parents.
Now, imagine this instead…
What if you didn’t even have to leave the house?
Picture the kids just being themselves, running around the backyard, playing and having a blast—no need to beg for clean clothes or perfect behavior. Just pure fun and zero pressure!
Yep, it’s totally a thing! And this kind of relaxed, real-life session is a favorite of mine! I want you all to have fun, kick back, and just be YOU. I’m here to capture the real smiles, the laughter, and all those sweet, everyday moments that make your family, well, your family.
Don’t get me wrong, the classic park photos in cute outfits can be great, but they’re not for everyone. Sometimes it’s fun to mix it up! Do a portrait session one year, and maybe the next year, try a laid-back, in-the-backyard vibe. Why not, right?
That’s exactly what my daughter and I did for her session! She just wanted to hang out in the backyard and around the neighborhood. I was all in! We didn’t have a plan, so we just walked around and found spots to shoot that she enjoyed or that I thought would be ideal. I had her walking through fields, sitting on fence posts and climbing trees—you name it, we were doing it! We even took pics with some of our favorite furry babies—a cat and a horse! This was definitely one of the perks of doing photos at home. Your pets get to join the fun! Way less hassle than trying to wrangle them at the park, and everyone’s way more chill. Plus, doing a backyard session is so personal and familiar, making the images even more special.
So, if you’re looking for a fun, relaxed way to capture your family’s real moments, why not try a backyard photo session? It’s a chance to keep things low-key, involve the pets, and really showcase what makes your family unique. No stress, no posing—just you and your loved ones hanging out in a place that’s meaningful to you. Trust me, these kinds of sessions are not only memorable but also a total blast! Let’s create some amazing, real-life memories right in the comfort of your own home.
