What Happens If Everything Goes Wrong at Our Family Photoshoot?


family photographer brisbane


Ah yes—the million dollar question. And by “goes wrong,” we’re usually talking toddler meltdowns, snack-related emergencies, someone refusing to wear pants, or a sudden mud-sliding incident in their “nice” clothes. (Yes, I’ve seen it all.)


As a family photographer in Brisbane, I want you to know… this is completely normal. Truly.


Chaos is practically built into the brief when kids are involved. And honestly? It doesn’t scare me in the slightest.


Here’s how we roll with it.


First, I don’t expect your family to arrive picture-perfect and ready to perform. In fact, I assume the opposite. I’ve designed every part of my sessions—whether at my private studio gardens or in your home—to feel calm, unhurried, and full of space for real connection.


We follow the lead of your kids. If they need time, we give it. If someone needs a snack, we break. If someone ends up with muddy knees? We laugh and keep going.


Some of the most heart-melting family photos I’ve ever taken happened in between the chaos.


A cuddle after a meltdown.


A giggle from behind dad’s legs.


A barefoot toddler running wild while everyone else gave up and joined in.


You can’t plan the perfect photo. But you can create an experience where the magic unfolds naturally—and that’s what I do best.


So if you’re worried everything might fall apart on the day, I promise you this: I’ll meet your chaos with calm, your stress with softness, and I’ll always find the beauty in the in-between.


Let’s create something honest, beautiful, and perfectly imperfect—just like your family.


ps - one of my more hectic family photoshoots was on TV for the show "Parental Guidance" on Channel 9 and it was shown as the "Horror Photoshoot Experience" on the show. You can read the BTS of that shoot and see all the images that we captured on this blog.
