If you are considering booking family photos, we highly recommend considering an extended family photo session. 

One perk of these family sessions is that they are scheduled over a longer period of time than our smaller family sessions. This offers extra flexibility with infants and toddlers to work around their moods and schedules. If the photo we are trying isn’t working, we can easily move on to a different grouping and try again later. 

We have a ton of experience photographing families and children of all ages. In particular, we’ve found that our experience photographing newborns, as well as newborns with their families and toddler siblings has helped us immensely when working with larger groups. 

Le Man’s special talent is at helping people find natural looking poses and getting everyone comfortable in front of the camera. Anthony is a master at working quickly with kids to capture moments that parents often don’t even realise have happened until later. There have been a few times where the parents were convinced there would be no usable photos (since their child was not cooperating), and were later surprised to discover there were almost too many great photos to choose from. 

We have 3 children of our own, and a large extended family, so we truly understand these group dynamics. We also make a point to take photos with our extended family every few years – so we know what it’s like to be in front of the camera as well!
