How to prepare for Family photos with Me!
Family photos can be nerve wracking especially for a Mama.
But Girl I got you! When working with me I will be in contact with you well before our shoot. I personally like to ask questions, get to know you and your family before we meet that day. I’ll reach out with a little what to expect guide, Just so you know. Here are a few ways for you to prepare, To help release the stress of the day and help you relax!
First thing I recommend is choosing your outfits as soon as you have booked your appointment, outfits are the most stressful thing. I recommend The mama picks out her outfit first. Start with neutrals. Then plan everyone elses outfits around yours.
Plan your session after naps or early in the morning when kiddos are fed and well rested.
Bring snacks. I’m all about a little bribery! It goes a long way!!
Have fun, Let your kids be kids! Don’t stress if they get a little dirt on their shirt, that can always be wiped always or if its really bad, I got you! I can get rid of a little dirt of stain in post processing. Side Note/ silly story. One session I did the family traveled over and hour for their photos, and on the way the little boy had snuck a soda on his way to the car, Well why they were driving he opened it up and spilled it all over his white shirt. You can imagine his mamas reaction when they arrived at the session, and honestly I was a little nervous about all the editing this was going to take to have to fix his shirt in every single image. During the session i posed him and set him in certain posed and facing certain directions that you didn’t notice the stain at all! I share that to say It okay if the outfit gets a little dirty! I’ve got you!
Does you kiddo have a favorite song? Baby shark has seem to be a hit lately. Turn that on, on your phone and it the kiddos dance.
