50 Activity Ideas for Your Family Session

Are you at a loss for what activities to do with your family during your family photo or video Session?

Documentary Family Sessions are a huge favorite of mine. Days in the Life, and my shorter family sessions. Usually will take place in your home, or at least partially in your home, because your home plays very a big role in your family! During a short, 2 or 4 hour session, it’s so important that you choose some activities to do with your family, to keep everyone interacting and busy. I encourage you to pick some activities that are comfortable for you and something that would be fun for your family. Whether it’s something you always do, or something new, pick activities that will keep you…

Believe me, the Sears photos are hilariously PRICELESS, but my absolute favs are the ones where we are in the living room and you can see those leopard print curtains and the plaid couch, the cringe-worthy unsafe carseat you’re strapped into, the vintage toys…how you remember your family and home growing up. Don’t these photos bring back MEMORIES of your childhood?

An Adoption Story | Fraser Valley Photographer and Filmmaker

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to adopt a baby? Rob and Sarah so graciously invited me to film their adoption journey, and it was absolutely incredible. Ethel just turned ONE. So I thought it was fitting to finally blog their story! YES they have a pet pig who lives in their house, and YES she is breastfeeding…
