Meridian Outdoor Family Session // Family Photography by Hannah Mann
There’s an energy and spontaneity that comes with capturing little ones in their natural state—whether they’re laughing, running, or curiously exploring the world around them.
When it comes to family photoshoots, especially with young children, I’ve learned that the best moments aren’t always the perfectly posed ones. It’s the unexpected moments—the messy hair, the toddler tantrums, and the spontaneous giggles—that make the best memories. My approach is simple: I want you to feel at ease and enjoy the session, knowing that it’s all about capturing you—in all your beautiful, chaotic, and authentic glory.
I love to encourage kids to be themselves—jumping, twirling, and even playing a game of tag. I want them to feel like the session is an adventure, not a task. And the results speak for themselves: candid moments, big smiles, and true-to-life memories that will last a lifetime.
For parents, it’s important to remember that the photos aren’t about perfection. The little messes, the quick cuddles, and the moments of pure joy are what make the images so special. Whether you’re chasing your child through the grass or sharing a quiet moment on the couch, those are the real moments worth capturing.
So if you’re a parent with little ones, don’t stress about getting everything just right. Embrace the beautiful chaos, and let’s make magic together. After all, family photos are about capturing the heart of your story—and no one’s story is ever perfect, but it’s always full of love.
