You Deserve Photos That Capture the Real You
You want images filled with messy giggles, sleepy snuggles, and homemade chaos.
But with kids who won’t sit still and so much pressure to be “picture perfect,” family photos can feel… overwhelming.
That’s where I come in. My sessions are warm, relaxed, and centered on the love your family shares—no forcing smiles, just real life you can hold onto.

"Okay I’m CRYING! Vicky, these are beautiful! Thank you so so much. I absolutely love every single one of them. You made me feel so confident and beautiful in a time where I don’t always feel that way, so thank you"
"you made me feel so confident and beautiful ."

VICKY! Omg I gasped! You captured so many beautiful moments! You did such a good job at catching me at flattering angles which I feel was SO hard with how my kids were crawling all over me. You’re amazing! Thank you so much"
You captured so many beautiful moments!
This Isn’t Just a Session - It’s an Experience That Feels Like Home
From our first video chat, you’ll feel it: this isn’t about posing perfectly or performing for the camera. It’s about being seen.
I’ll guide you every step of the way - from helping you choose outfits that feel like you, to gently leading your kids through play so you don’t have to stress about a thing. We’ll chat, laugh, and go with the flow. No rigid timelines. No pressure.
Just space to be present with your people.
Whether you’re baking cookies, snuggling on the couch, or chasing little feet in the yard, I’m there to notice what makes your family yours. And I’ll help you remember it—exactly as it felt.
Let’s Make Some Magic Together
01.
Getting to know you
Every session begins with a conversation. After booking, you'll receive a questionnaire to help me get to know your family and what matters most to you. From there, we’ll schedule a planning call to talk through your vision, home or location, wardrobe, and activities that reflect your everyday life. I’ll guide you through everything—so all you have to do is show up and be yourselves.
02.
The Magic Happens
This is where the magic happens. Your session will be laid-back, natural, and centered around genuine connection. Whether we’re in your home or exploring your favorite places, I’ll gently guide you while leaving plenty of space for candid, meaningful moments to unfold. No stiff posing. No pressure. Just real life, beautifully captured.
03.
Relive the moment
Within a few weeks, you’ll receive a gallery full of light-filled, heartfelt images to relive and share. You’ll also have access to curated print products - from heirloom albums to custom frames - so you can enjoy your photos beyond the screen and bring your family’s story into your everyday spaces.
How it works
From our first call to the final gallery, everything is built around getting to know you—so your photos feel honest, effortless, and fully yours.

WHEN I'M NOT BEHIND THE CAMERA
A Little Bit About Me
Hi, I’m Vicky! When I’m not behind the camera capturing beautiful family moments, you can probably find me snuggled up at home with my two girls, enjoying a cup of coffee (with a little extra creamer—because life’s too short for bad coffee ).
I started Vicky Akin Photography because I believe in the power of memories. I get it—the chaos of everyday life can make it hard to slow down and appreciate the little things. But I truly believe that those moments—the messy, joyful, real-life moments—are the ones that are worth capturing.
I’m here to make sure you never forget them. From one mom to another, I know how precious this time is. My goal is to make you feel relaxed, confident, and real in front of the camera. You’ll feel like you’re just enjoying time with your family (because that’s exactly what I want to capture).
Ready to write your story in photographs?
Whether you’re documenting the joy of your growing family, capturing the magic of a new baby, or celebrating everyday moments together, my approach is all about keeping things relaxed and authentic. From playful connections to heartfelt snuggles, I’ll help you create images that feel as genuine as the love you share.
