a family of two sisters and a brother pose in black shirts

When most people think of family portraits, the image that comes to mind might still involve white shirts, blue jeans, and matching smiles in a field somewhere. But portrait photography has moved on—and your family photos can too.

This portrait, for example, brings a bold, contemporary feel that puts connection and personality front and centre. No forced grins, no staged perfection—just a beautifully composed moment that reflects the real relationship between these siblings. The styling is simple: classic dark tones, bare feet, and clean lines that keep the focus exactly where it should be—on them.

Gone are the days when a family portrait had to follow a rigid format. Today, it’s about capturing what makes your family you. That could mean a minimal studio setting like this one, or it could mean letting your kids dress in whatever makes them feel comfortable and confident. It’s not about creating an image of what a family “should” look like—it’s about honouring yours just as it is.

I love helping families create portraits that feel real, honest, and timeless in the truest sense—not because they follow trends, but because they reflect connection, strength, and love. Whether you’re drawn to something sleek and modern like this, or a more traditional look with a twist, there’s room to make your session reflect your story.
