Simple steps, joyful memories—no stress required.
I created this kit after watching a friend struggle through DIY family photos. She had the skills and the cutest kids—but ended up frustrated, settling for pictures she didn’t love, and rushing at the last minute. I don’t want that for you. This kit is how I come alongside families to make photos simple, fun, and frame-worthy—without me physically being there.

And the best part? You actually had fun doing it.
Hi, I’m Kathryn—a family photographer who knows what it’s like to wrangle little ones, juggle busy schedules, and still want photos you actually love.
After nearly a decade of photographing families, I realized most parents just need a simple plan—not fancy gear or hours of stress. That’s why I created the DIY Family Photo Kit: to make photo day feel doable, fun, and joy-filled.
When I’m not helping families capture memories, I’m usually chasing my two boys around Spokane, hiking with my husband, baking sourdough, or living vicariously through home renovation shows.
Forget the overwhelm of “Where should we shoot?” This section walks you through how to scout a great location—whether it’s your backyard or a hidden gem in your neighborhood. You’ll know how to spot flattering light, avoid busy backgrounds, and pick a place that makes your family feel at ease.
No more “What do we wear?!” panic. This style guide helps you confidently plan outfits that look great on camera and feel good to wear. Learn how to coordinate without overly matching, use color intentionally, and dress the whole family without overthinking.
Keep your session on track with a clear, simple shot list that helps you capture the must-haves—without feeling rigid. It’s flexible, intuitive, and keeps everyone (yes, even toddlers!) engaged and moving. This is the exact workflow I use for my professional photo sessions!
Say goodbye to stiff poses and forced smiles. These fun, movement-based prompts bring out genuine connection, laughter, and personality. Perfect for getting natural expressions from kids, partners, and even camera-shy grownups.
Want to shoot in manual but don’t know where to start? This cheat sheet gives you recommended settings for different lighting conditions, so you can feel more confident using your camera—even if you’ve only ever used auto mode before.
