Why Hiring Laura Cardan as your Birmingham Family Photographer Is Worth It

If you’ve ever tried to photograph a toddler in motion you know it can be beautiful, unpredictable, and, sometimes, nearly impossible. That’s where a professional Birmingham Family Photographer, Laura Cardan, shines, turning everyday chaos into timeless treasures.

Real Moments

Families with young children are in the midst of fleeting seasons. Those gummy smiles, gap-toothed grins, and spontaneous giggles fade faster than we realize. A skilled photographer doesn’t just take pictures; they bottle up the energy, personality, and love that define your little ones right now. Laura encourages lot’s of real moments with guided, fun prompts. Dance parties, big hugs, shoulder rides and simple walks with the toddler who hasn’t quite figured out walking on their own yet are just a few of the fun things they’ll experience.

Comfort

Comfort is key. The outfits, the location, the weather. All of it makes a difference in the outcome.

Choose fabrics that move and aren’t restricting and are weather appropriate. Muslin and linen/linen blends are great choices for a relaxed feel with a beautiful look.

Laura loves open spaces, with beautiful light, where your kids have space to be themselves. With no pressure to stand in a specific spot they’ll have plenty of room to play and roam and allow all of their personalities to shine. And, in the midst of all the fun, they’ll take time to pause, for the “posed” photos without realizing they aren’t having fun anymore.

If you have the option choose a time of the year with great weather. If it’s summer and hot out a sunrise session is always a better option. I promise the results are worth a little lost sleep.

Planning Assistance

Along with creating an environment everybody will be happy in, Laura, provides planning assistance from wardrobe options in her client closet to online shopping help or helping coordinate outfits you already own. If you’ve ever planned a photo session you know this can be one of the hardest tasks.

If your camera roll is a blur of snack-stained selfies and half-blinked smiles, it may be time to call on Birmingham Family Photographer, Laura Cardan who knows how to freeze the wonder of childhood—before it speeds away.
