My 5 favorite poses during a family session- Dallas, TX.
A family session is not just a gathering of individuals; it's a canvas where emotions are painted, bonds are celebrated, and memories are frozen in time. I love playing kid friendly games during the photoshoot to help keep them engaged and having fun while spontaneously capturing the emotions and personality that shine through during these games.
These 5 games played during a photoshoot will guarantee the best pictures!
Whispering secrets or play telephone. The kids get very close and it also gets them laughing hard!

Walking Hand in Hand: Have the family members walk together, hand in hand, while engaging in a conversation or sharing a laugh.

Candid Playtime: If there are kids, let them engage in their favorite activities while the family watches and interacts. If you have a little one not walking yet, engage in activities that make them laugh like throwing them up and down, playing airplane, twirl them around, etc.
