Photoshoots with Toddlers: Embracing Play, Chaos and Real Connection
If you’re a mumma with a toddler, you know that asking them to sit still and smile for the camera is… well, let’s just say it’s not the vibe.
And honestly? That’s not what I want for your photos anyway.
When you book a family photoshoot with me, we lean into the chaos, the cuddles, the laughter, and the real moments that make this season with your little honey unforgettable.
What My Toddler-Friendly Session Looks Like
Your photoshoot isn’t about perfectly posed shots or forced smiles, it’s about connection. I create a calm, playful environment where your toddler can just be themselves. We’ll play games, explore, and let them run barefoot if they want to. Think tickles, cuddles, and wild giggles, the kind of moments that tell the real story of your family.
I’m a mum of two spirited kids, so I know what it’s like to have a toddler who changes their mind every five seconds. My sessions are designed to move at their pace, keeping things light and stress-free for everyone (including you, mumma!).
Why Candid and Play-Based Photography Works
Toddlers are naturally curious, fun, and full of emotion which is why candid photography is perfect for this stage of life. My goal is to capture your family exactly as you are right now, with all the love and energy that defines these fleeting years. You’ll walk away with a gallery of images that feel genuine, warm, and full of heart, the kind you’ll look back on and instantly feel.
Preparing for Your Session
I’ll guide you every step of the way, from styling and outfit tips (think soft, timeless tones) to choosing the perfect location. Whether it’s a sun-soaked field or the comfort of your own home, I create a space where your family feels relaxed and connected.
Let’s Create Magic Together
One day, you’ll look back and wish you could freeze these moments, the way your toddler’s little hand fits in yours, the cheeky grin when they run into your arms. That’s what I want to give you: the feeling of right now captured forever.
