Candid Family Session with Emily-May Photography in Kamloops, BC

When K tells me he only wants one photo… and ends up with a photoshoot just for himself.

The biggest secret for sessions, let your kids be kids. I think photo sessions can be scary as a little one. It’s a lot of attention to direct to one person. So let them explore! Let me be on their side. Once they consider me a friend, that’s when the real magic happens.

I like to think of a camera as another set of eyes - eye contact isn’t always easy for everybody. Sometimes it takes time! And sometimes it happens accidentally and that’s okay too.

You can trust that as a photographer I want to document you and your family together. I want those memories for you. But I want it to be a good memory. I want your kids to have fun and be silly. Be themselves. Because at the end of the day, you want to capture them as they are.
