When this mama booked her Little Rock in-home family photo session, she was already a familiar face. We’d first met at one of my Playful Portrait pop-ups, where her daughter showed up with big personality and even bigger heart. I couldn’t wait to photograph the rest of the crew — and they did not disappoint.

Why She Booked a Full Family Little Rock In-Home Photo Session
“I took my daughter to one of Allison’s popup playful portrait events. She brought out so much personality in my daughter and took the most amazing pictures.”
One quick session turned into a full family experience — and a beautiful way to capture this season with all its chaos and connection.

What Made This In-Home Photo Session Special
Let’s start with the surprise guest…
“Our cat decided to photobomb the session.”

Yep, he was very ready for his close-up. But the real highlight?

“Watching Allison interact with my kids. She connected with each of them based on their personalities.”
That’s always the goal — for your kids to feel seen, safe, and themselves in front of the camera.
Her Advice for Other Parents
“Relax! Be yourselves and pick your battles when it comes to outfits.”
Permission granted to skip the Pinterest-perfect coordination. Kids will bring the magic. Promise.

How the Photos Made Her Feel
“I felt super connected to the photographs. They felt like us… not staged, not stiff.”
(Brb, crying a little.)

Why This Season Matters
One of the things this mama hopes to remember?
“How special the age ranges of our children are. They’re all far apart, but not far enough apart to not want to have anything to do with each other. They’re all learning from each other.”
That beautiful middle ground — where chaos meets connection — is exactly where the good stuff lives.
