The question I always ask families or anyone I’m about to photograph is what they’d like to capture in the images, what is their vision for the session? I’d say that one of the most common answers for families is that they are looking to capture the personality of their family, “candid” moments, they don’t want to looked too posed, etc.
I love these kind of answers!! To me, this means that this person has clearly looked at my website or my blog and has seen that this is the type of photography that I love to do! Family sessions are fun and silly and full of laughs – kids get to do things in my studio that they don’t get to do at home and often they don’t want to leave when the session is over!

This fun family was referred from another amazing family that has been coming to me for years – and that is the biggest compliment I could ever ask for!!

To schedule your fun, not too posed family session, send us an email at hello@shalimarbphotography.com

let's tell your story

I've photographed every personality type — the shy ones, the hams, the "I hate photos" crowd, all of them.

I know how to find what makes someone tick and pull it right into the frame. The goal is never a perfect pose.

It's a photo that looks so undeniably like you that you can't stop staring at it.
