Why Photographing Your Own Children Isn't Always Easy.
People often think that my own children must be the easiest to photograph.
The truth? They're not.
Not because I lack the skills, but because I'm Mom.
Children naturally become silly, playful, and full of energy around the people they love. The more we ask them to sit still, look at the camera, or say cheese, the more likely they are to do the exact opposite.
And let's be honest... what child wants to stand still and pose when they're surrounded by a field of beautiful yellow flowers just waiting to be explored?
These are my boys.
When you book a session with Dear June Photography, I'll always try to capture those beautiful, classic portraits where everyone is looking at the camera. But those photos are never make-or-break.
My job isn't to make your children perform for the camera. My job is to help them feel comfortable enough to simply be themselves. That's when the most beautiful photographs happen.
