Family photography doesn’t need to feel awkward or staged. In this post, I’m sharing answers to the most common questions I hear - from how to choose the perfect location, to what to wear, what happens if it rains, and how to relax in front of the camera. It’s everything you need to know before your session.

In the rush of family life, it’s easy to forget why we make time for photos. But these moments - the messy, beautiful, ordinary days under one roof - are the heart of our story. Photos aren’t just pictures; they’re keepsakes of the homes we built, the love we poured in, and the fleeting seasons that shape us.

There’s a quiet kind of magic in slow mornings. In messy beds, bare feet on old timber floors, soft window light falling across your kids as they pile into your lap. This is what Homely is all about.
