Family session
prep guide
Everything you need to know to make your Melbourne outdoor family session a success.
Please ensure you and your children had a good meal before the session. Hangry little people won't enjoy the outing. Since sunset can be a little past your children's bed time in summer, I recommend for your little ones to have a slow day. No birthday parties, long swims or jumping castles on the day of your session. Most locations require a bit of a drive, this is the perfect time for your kids to have a nap before the session.
the experience
Cue the music, pop a bottle, go exploring, dance in the desert, get comfortable, do your thang. We’ll provide prompts to help you get comfortable (no need to worry about what to do with your hands), but mostly we’ll just hang out and let the magic happen.
Full tummy &
rest
I know most dad's aren't too keen on being photographed. The good news is, my sessions are very natural and unposed. So please make sure to let your partner know, there is no looking and smiling at the camera required. What I would like you to do is to enjoy the time with each other, look at each other, as if I am not even there. Dad's are often the fun ones playing with the children, this is the perfect way of showing your bond with your little ones.

Peparing Dad
Besides yourself, there is nothing else you need to bring to your session. I would love for you to lie in the long grass and sit on the ground, I know this isn't everyones cup of tea, so if you prefer, bring a neutral blanket. If you would like to bring a snack or treat for your children, please make sure you only get them out at the very end of the session, as kids often stop cooperating once food comes into place. However, having something to look forward to after the session, has made many children do their absolute best to keep mum happy.
