Prompts Not Poses

When you book a session with me I will direct you so you’re not worried about what to do with your hands, but I also won’t trap you in a stiff pose and scream at you to smile.

We will move and play and laugh and discover that photoshoots can actually be fun.

Hello, I’m Jecelyn.

And I’m passionate about capturing the true beauty of you and your family.

The true magic is in the moments between the poses. The wonder in your child’s eyes when they make a new discovery, the love in your partner’s smile when they look at you.

I was given my first camera when I was 11 and since then I haven’t stopped voraciously trying to capture every moment of my life and surroundings. I started shooting professionally almost 10 years ago.

Book Your Session

Book a Session

Times are set to start approximately an hour and a half before sunset. This gives time to get comfortable and then have the session during the most beautiful light of the day – golden hour. You are welcome to book your sessions far in advance. When your chosen date gets closer I will touch base and we may adjust the time slightly to ensure we’re working with the very best light. If it rains, we can reschedule.

Do you offer refunds?

In general, I don’t offer refunds, but I’m very happy to reschedule your session if needed.

What if I feel awkward and don't know what to do?

Don’t worry, everyone feels a little awkward at first. I’ll help you know what do and how to do it and I’ll do everything we can to make the photoshoot fun even if you’re feeling a little camera shy. I love to use prompts not poses, so your body isn’t stuck in an unnatural, stiff position that only makes you feel more awkward.

To give you an idea of how this works, here are some prompts I might use during your session:

Share Secrets: One person whispers a secret to the other. This prompt encourages intimacy and vulnerability, resulting in genuine laughter and connection.
Recall a Memory: Think about a funny or heartfelt moment you’ve experienced together. Sharing these memories can evoke genuine emotions and reactions.
Get Active: As a family, you might be asked to jump, run, or play catch. Engaging in an activity creates dynamic images that reflect the joy and energy of your family.
Expression Moments: Sit quietly for a moment and hold each other. Let the emotions unfold while I capture the essence of your bond during this peaceful moment.
