Have you ever looked through your phone and realized you’re barely in any of the photos? Just a blur in the background or the one always holding the phone? You’re not imagining it! Studies show that moms are often the organizers and the ones taking photos of everyone, yet rarely showing up in the...
Family photos should be fun, full of laughter, and something you look back on with a smile. After photographing so many families here in Berks County, I have learned the things that catch parents off guard the most. I want to share some real talk so you can feel prepared, relaxed, and genuinely...
You know that feeling when you look at a photo and think, “Cute, but it doesn’t really feel like us”? Families come into my Sinking Spring studio wanting something different. They’re not looking for stiff poses or copied Pinterest ideas. They want photos that actually look and feel like their...
Let’s be real. Looking for a family photographer can feel like a lot. You type it "into"photographer near me" into Google and suddenly you are staring at dozens of websites, all with different styles, prices, and options. Some look way too formal, others feel too trendy, and it is hard to know who...
We live in a time where almost every moment ends up on a phone. Birthdays, vacations, even what people ate for dinner. Sharing online is fun, but there is a huge difference between a photo on a screen and a portrait you walk by every day in your home. Families who come to my Berks County studio...
Our phones are packed with photos. A handful make you smile, a few make you laugh hard, and the rest are either blurry or just ten versions of the same shot. Those quick snapshots are part of everyday life, but they usually stay stuck on your screen. You scroll past them once or twice, then they...
Family photography is about more than lining everyone up and asking them to smile. The photos that parents love most are the in-between moments. The way a toddler curls up in mom’s lap. The belly laugh when dad spins a child in circles. The secret glance siblings share when they think no one is...
Before I created K. Moss Photography back in 2009, I worked for one of those big chain photo studios. Portrait Innovations, to be exact. And let me tell you, I saw A LOT. Families would rush in already stressed, already seeing the studio was running far behind schedule. Kids were overwhelmed from...
Every parent worries about this. What if they don’t sit still? What if they’re too shy? What if they’re way too wild? What if the whole thing feels like a disaster? I hear these questions all the time during planning and I completely understand! Kids are unpredictable, and the truth is, that’s...
There’s a lot of advice out there about how to prepare for photos, but just as important is knowing what not to do. Over the years, I’ve seen what works and what totally backfires. Think of this as a little heads-up so your family photo experience can feel relaxed and enjoyable. Don’t threaten a...
I get it. We all like to save when we can. I’ve used coupons. I’ve held off on buying something until it hit clearance. There are some things that just don’t work the same way when you go for the lowest price, and photography is one of them. A product on sale is still the same product. The brand,...
In all my years of photographing, it is pretty rare for a guy to be excited to learn that he’s just been signed up to partake in a photo session. At that moment, scrubbing the bathroom and taking out the trash likely sounds more appealing. Most (yet not all) guys feel that photography just isn’t...
This isn’t your typical photo experience.
This experience is meant to feel personal from the very beginning, not rushed or automated.
Curious how it works?
