The Brown Family’s session at the San Antonio Botanical Garden was a heartwarming reminder of why I love capturing candid family photos. This vibrant and playful session truly brought their family’s dynamic to life in the most beautiful way.
Candid Family Photos
When you book a session with Laurie Adalle Photography, know that it’s not about stiff poses or simply saying “cheese” for the camera. While we’ll take a classic portrait for grandma’s mantel, the real magic happens when you let go of perfection. I encourage families to play, interact, and let their children’s personalities shine!
As a mom of two little ones, I understand how fleeting the early years are. While perfectly posed photos are lovely, it’s the candid moments that tell the story of your family’s life as it truly is—sometimes wild and messy, joyful and fun, and always full of love.
During the Brown Family’s session, their children’s laughter filled the air as they explored the lush gardens. Watching them twirl, run, and interact with their parents reminded me why I love being a fly on the wall during sessions. I give gentle prompts to guide the interaction, but I also step back and let the moments unfold naturally. This approach allows me to capture their genuine personalities—the giggles, curiosity, and silly quirks that make them who they are.
Reliving the Memories
Photos have an incredible power to transport us back in time. When you run your hand over a framed photo or flip through an album, you’re instantly reminded of that moment. The sound of your children’s laughter, the feel of their little hands in yours, and the joy of that season in your life all comes rushing back.
That’s why I encourage families to let go and embrace the imperfections during our sessions. Let your kids be wild. Let them explore and get a little dirty. These moments are what make life so special, and they’re the ones you’ll want to remember 5, 10, or even 20 years from now.
