Life moves fast… and somehow the kids grow overnight 🥹
If you’ve been saying “we really need some nice family photos” — this is your sign. 💛
At Jade Alfie Photography, family sessions are designed to feel calm, easy, and actually enjoyable (yes, even with energetic little ones! 😅). You can choose between:
🏡 A calm, light-filled studio session
🌿 An outdoor family photoshoot in Runcorn & Widnes
No stiff posing. No pressure. Just timeless portraits that feel like you. ✨
⸻
🌿 Relaxed, gentle sessions (no awkward vibes!)
If family photos make you picture forced smiles and chaos… you’re not alone 😅
I keep things:
✅ relaxed
✅ baby/child-led
✅ guided (so you’re not left feeling awkward!)
✅ calm from start to finish
Expect natural connection, cuddles, giggles, and gorgeous portraits you’ll want on your walls. 🖼️🤍

📸 Studio or outdoors — which one suits your family best?
🏡 Option 1: Calm studio family portraits
Studio sessions are perfect if you love:
✨ clean, timeless images
☀️ soft, flattering light
🌧️ no weather stress
🧸 a comfy space for little ones
It’s warm, calm, and styled in a neutral way so your photos look timeless for years.
⸻
🌿 Option 2: Outdoor family photoshoots (Runcorn & Widnes)
Outdoor sessions are perfect if you want:
🌅 golden hour glow
🌳 nature backgrounds
🏃♂️ space for children to move and explore
📷 more candid, playful moments
We’ll choose a location together that suits your family and the look you want.

👗 What to wear (simple tips that photograph beautifully!)
Outfits can make a huge difference — but don’t worry, it doesn’t need to be stressful 💛
✨ My top tips:
🤍 Stick to soft neutrals (cream, beige, tan, soft grey, muted tones)
🚫 Avoid bold logos + busy patterns
🧶 Texture looks amazing (knits, ribbed fabrics, linen, layers)
👩 Start with mum’s outfit and build around it
If you’re unsure, message me — I’m happy to help you plan what to wear! 💬

🫶 What happens during a family session?
You’ll be guided the whole time — but it’ll still feel natural and relaxed ✨
Here’s how it usually flows:
1️⃣ Arrive + settle in (especially for shy little ones 🥹)
2️⃣ Family portraits (gentle direction, no stiff posing!)
3️⃣ Cuddles + connection moments 🤍
4️⃣ Sibling shots + individual child portraits (if they’re up for it!)
5️⃣ A calm wrap-up — no rushing, no pressure 🌿

😅 “My kids won’t sit still…”
That’s completely okay 🙌
You don’t need perfect behaviour to get beautiful photos.
Some of the BEST images come from:
👣 little hands holding yours
🤣 giggles after a silly moment
🤗 quick cuddles
✨ real personalities shining through
I’ll work with your children’s energy, not against it 💛
⸻
🗓️ When should you book?
If you’re booking outdoors, golden hour (the hour before sunset) is the dreamiest light 🌅✨
Studio sessions are more flexible and great around naps + routine 🍼
If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect time”… this is it. 🤍
