I’ve heard about Flytographer for a while from several of my friends who have used and loved this service. I’m glad to partner up with Flytographer to do a review plus include a discount code for anyone who wants to try them out!

I’m not a huge fan of souvenirs as they tend to sit somewhere and collect dust. Plus with kids, there isn’t much space to bring back anything really cool and eclectic. But, I do really love the idea of photographs as souvenirs. You will definitely look back at them, frame them around your house, and be able to share these photos with your friends and family.

We traveled a full day to get to Australia and this was the boy’s first BIG international trip outside of North America. I definitely wanted to have some family vacation photos to look back on this adventure. We had family and friends take photos for us throughout the trip, but it was always a struggle. Either someone was sleeping, someone didn’t want a photo taken, or someone’s eyes were closed. I’m SO incredibly glad we had this photo session booked. Don’t get me wrong, I love natural photos we take on vacation, but a handful of family photos that I could never capture myself – yes, please!

The process to book a photographer with Flytographer is really easy!

Our Flytographer Review

We worked with Yvonne from Flytographer who was AMAZING. She was so sweet and so easy to get along with. She definitely made the whole family feel at ease. I loved the small directions she gave as I found it really helpful with small things like where to place your hands, etc. Yvonne was so easy going and patient with the boys, especially my 4-year-old. He didn’t always want to take a photo, but she still managed to get some great ones for us as a family. I also loved the fact we were able to incorporate our family members into the photoshoot as well. Our moms traveled with us to Australia so it was great to have some photos of our adventure altogether.

I absolutely LOVED working with Flytographer. I would highly recommend it if you are interested in a family photo shoot. We had the best first experience working with Flytographer. I would definitely try them out if you are on the lookout for family vacation photos!

They also do all sorts of photoshoots from solo, proposals, couple shoots, so definitely worthwhile for anyone who is looking for some beautiful, professional photos to look back on an amazing vacation.

Tips for Shooting with Kids

1. Choose a time that works best for your child, A.K.A. not during nap time!
2. Bring something to bribe them if needed – candy, gummies, or a new small toy or trinket. It definitely helps motivate them for some quick photos!
3. Allow your kids to run around and get comfortable. If they aren’t feeling the photoshoot, don’t hesitate to make the shoot about yourselves. Duy & I got some great photos together once the kids didn’t feel like taking photos anymore. Perfect to celebrate our 7th anniversary!

I hope you enjoyed our Flytographer review! Don’t forget to use the discount code ‘JULIEMAO’ to save $50 off your next shoot or gift card. Tell me in the comments if you have ever tried Flytographer or who takes your family vacation photos?
