How to Get the Best Family Photos with Adult and Teen Kids
Family Photography in County Meath
As your kids grow up, life tends to get a little busier (and noisier in the best way). Between work, studies, travel, and everyone’s own lives, it can feel almost impossible to get the whole family in one place — let alone in front of a camera. And you see the brilliant little kids grow into great teens and adults in your family… That’s exactly why family photos with adult kids are so special!
They’re a celebration of connection, of coming home, and of how your relationships have evolved over the years. Whether you’re all together for a birthday, anniversary gift, or just a rare weekend together, it’s the perfect opportunity to capture those moments you’ll all treasure.
Here are a few relaxed tips to help you get the best from your session…
Pick a Location That Feels Like ‘You’
Fore, Meath has so many beautiful spots — quiet fields, forest walks, historic ruins, and cosy gardens. The best photos happen where you feel comfortable. That might be your family home, a favourite walking trail, or even the pub where you gather for Sunday lunch. If it means something to your family, it’ll show in your photos. Im always happy to reccomend my fave locations in Cavan and Meath for you Photo session
Just Be Yourselves - Teens in photos
The best photos aren’t the ones where everyone’s perfectly posed — they’re the ones where you’re laughing at a shared joke, teasing each other, or just chatting naturally.
During my sessions, I’ll gently guide you through a few relaxed poses, then step back and let things unfold. That’s where the magic happens!!
Dads YOU bring the VIBE, you set the tone, you laugh they laugh and the whole gang relaxes and you get the MOST amazing love filled photos.
BE silly, revert back to being little kids… natural laughs can be heard through your photos.
Give ALL the affection to each other.
Do the cheesy poses, just for the craic.
Make a Day of It in Meath
Why not turn your shoot into a family day out? Head to the happy cup in Oldcastle after Fore Abbey or Plan brunch in Trim, a walk at the Hill of Tara, or a picnic at Balrath Woods afterwards.
Capture the Generations - from babies to teens to grandparents in family photos.
If grandparents, partners, or even pets are part of the picture — bring them along!
Family photos are about telling your story, and every person (and pet!) adds another lovely layer to that story.
Trust the Process
You don’t need to worry about how to stand or what to do — that’s my job. I’ll help with all the little details so you can focus on being together.
Every family session is different, and that’s what makes it so special.
