Why family pictures?
As a Port Jervis, NY family Photographer, I love capturing small moments of families interacting, being in the moment, and having fun.
Photos are more than just images, they are moments frozen in time, that you will carry with you and look back on for years to come.
One day your kids will all be grown up. But photos allow you to relive that season of life, & that moment.
 
I love using fun activities, that make photo shoots worth remembering.
- Choose a location that best fits you (if you want to run, maybe you want more space like a field)
- Fun activities that your kids will enjoy
- Play-based prompting
- Be yourself, Be silly.
- Bring a small speaker to play music
- Cherish this time with family & give them lots of hugs.
 
 
10 Fun photo ideas:
- Pack a lunch, and have a picnic outside with your family
- Go to the drive-in movies, eat popcorn in the bed of a truck, and snuggle up together.
- Go to the lake and have fun catching fish with fishing poles, skip some rocks, and play in the water.
- A Fourth of July themed shoot with festive outfits, sparklers, fireworks, and BBQ'ing.
- Enjoy a summer campfire night, as you make s'mores on sticks, while you sit in camping chairs.
- Go for a nature walk, and capture sweet moments of your kids finding worms, flowers, frogs, and cool looking plants, while they're in cute hiking boots.
- On a Hot summer day, fill up some water balloons, turn on the hose, and let your kids chase each other around the lawn, and the snuggle them up with towels to dry off.
- Go to the park, and capture photos of you pushing your kids on the swings, and catching them sliding down a slide.
- Go get ice cream together, and sit along the river at sunset.
- Garden with your kids, and have them help dad mow the lawn.
