Location! Location! Location!

Finding the perfect location is an important part of planning for the photo shoot of your dreams. I have my favorite places, and usually make a recommendation based on your personality and style, but I always welcome your location ideas. I’d love to know if there is a place that is sentimental to your family so we can discuss our options and plan the best location to suit your family.

Clothing

This photo shoot is meant to capture your family, including individuality and style. Helpful tips to keep in mind when choosing outfits:

• Think coordinating, not matching. Incorporate colors and patterns that fit well together.

• Don’t be afraid of color! Choose a few neutral colors, and then add a few bright accents to your outfits. Accessories such as scarves, necklaces, and clothing layers are great for this.

• Wear well fitting clothing. Not too tight, and nothing baggy. If you can’t breathe in those pants, don’t wear them! If you can’t walk in those shoes, forget about’em!

• To keep the look timeless, try to avoid trendy clothing with words or logos.

• Always feel free to text or email me your clothing options laid out before our session!

The Little Ones

• Get your kids excited for the session and let them know how much fun it will be, but no need to over prepare them or add too much pressure for "best behavior"

• Kids pick up on your stress, so stay cool, even when they don’t

• Our goal is to capture their true expressions, and keeping it light and fun is essential to that. No need to train them on “CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE”!

• Don’t be hangry! Our best behaved children (and adults for that matter) are usually those that are well fed before our session. Feel free to bring treats for during the session.
