The Magic of Editorial Fun

Picture this: a family photoshoot that feels like a day out, filled with laughter and genuine moments. That’s the editorial magic we’re going for – unposed, real, and uniquely you. Forget stiff poses and forced smiles; we’re all about capturing the essence of your family’s personality. Of course, there will always be a bit of posing and guidance but for the most part I will be catching all of the crazy family magic that happens in the “in between”.

1. Embrace the Chaos

Life is beautifully messy, and so are families. Let the kids be kids, and let the chaos unfold. Whether it’s a playful tickle fight or a spontaneous dance party, those candid moments are pure gold.

2. Choose the Right Location

Alicia’s Photography will help you select a location that resonates with your family’s vibe. It could be a favorite park or a downtown urban city feel, or we can use Alicia’s Photography’s beautiful and elegant studio for a more refined look. The more comfortable and familiar the setting, the more natural the photos will be.

Fun and Authentic Posing

Now, let’s talk posing – but not the traditional kind. Think interactive, spontaneous, and most importantly, fun!

3. Games and Activities

Incorporate games or activities that bring out genuine smiles. Whether it’s playing chase, blowing on a dandelion, or playing ring around the rosey, these activities create a relaxed atmosphere that leads to authentic expressions.

4. Candid Connection

We encourage your family to interact naturally. So that we can capture those stolen glances, silly jokes, and tight hugs. The goal is to freeze those moments of connection that make your family uniquely yours.

The Editorial Touch

Ah, the editorial style – where art meets authenticity. This is where the magic truly happens.

5. Play with Light and Shadow

We can experiment with different lighting conditions. Whether it’s the soft glow of golden hour or the dramatic play of shadows, Alicia’s Photography will embrace the natural elements to add depth and dimension to your photos.

6. Focus on Details

We will zoom in on the little things – a shared glance, a hand-holding moment, or a child’s laughter. Alicia’s Photography thrives on capturing the subtleties that make your family’s story extraordinary.
