#11: Ly Family Shoot
Whaaat is up, my beautiful friend?
Things have continuously not slowed down at all, BUT I’ve been practicing how to manage my time better through batch-working and just staying positive overall. I find the latter can sometimes be more difficult because as we get older time just doesn’t slow down. Now, it’s all about managing your schedule better and keep showing up. And April is focused just on that! So I have this reminder on the wall right by my computer where I work daily ⚡️
Btw, if you want to know more about batching your work, I highly recommend this explanation video here!
And now the moment we’ve all been waiting for… finally sharing with you the photos of the Ly family 💕🙌🏼
Let’s get riiight into it 👁👄👁
The Ly family consists of my sister, brother-in-law, little nieces, and baby nephew!
Outfits 🌞
This shoot was extra special because I got to plan everyone’s outfits!! I am absolutely in love with how each of the outfits fit their individual personality and how they looked all together.
The Warm-Up 🌞
The first 30 minutes are always our warmup shots - where the models kinda settle in their skin, familiarize themselves with the new area, and get comfortable with their photographer (me)! Of course, they got comfortable real quick since we’re all family, but no matter how close you are with someone there will always be some warmup shots!

It’s so interesting working with little kids. You gotta capture them right at that sweet moment . So I made simple requests throughout the shoot to make them do certain things. Here I said, “if you love your baby brother, give him a biiiig kiss” 😙
“If you want Olive Garden, raise your hand!” 🙋🏻♀️ (it’s their fav restaurant)
“If you want ice cream, raise your hand!” (Tess raises both hands)
“If you want ice cream, give me a biiiig smile!” (Tess really loves her ice cream lol)
Dad & Son 🌞
Momma & Her Girls ❤️🔥






And then we really did get ice cream afterwards🍦







Aaand that’s it! Thanks so much for sticking around!
This session was so fun to shoot and so fun to edit. I already scheduled the Ly family for a fall shoot this year! Can’t wait for that 🍂
Until next Friday! Have a wonderful Easter weekend 🧡
