Family / Children Session Information
Thanks so much for considering a photo session with me!
Here are a few helpful tips to make the most of our time together 😊
📅 Booking Your Session
-
You can book up to 8 months in advance.
-
A deposit is required to reserve your session and lock in your rate.
-
Avoid scheduling around nap or bedtime — the best light is 2 hours after sunrise or before sunset. If that’s tricky, let’s chat about shaded options that still look beautiful.
👗 What to Wear
-
Plan your outfits ahead of time — make sure they’re comfy and flattering.
-
For a soft, timeless look: choose neutrals and soft tones (creams, pastels, oatmeals, grays, etc.).
-
For a fun, bold look: try coordinating colors with pops (like gray + red or yellow).
-
Add accessories (hats, scarves, headbands) for personality!
-
Need inspo? Check my Amazon shop, especially curated for you !
📸 On the Day of the Shoot
-
Don’t arrive hungry — a light snack beforehand helps keep everyone happy!
-
Give yourself extra time to get ready — no one likes feeling rushed.
-
Moms: consider having hair & makeup done — it’ll boost your confidence and show!
-
Arrive on time but wait in the car if another session is finishing.
-
Keep kiddos clean & safe — no running around before we start.
📵 No Cell Phones During the Session
-
Please put phones away — no calls, photos, or texts during the shoot.
-
It helps everyone stay present and engaged (and makes the photos better!).
😄 Have FUN & Be Yourselves
-
Dads — bring your playful side!
-
If kids act up, no worries — we’ll take a break if needed.
-
Don’t force smiles — talk, sing, play with them behind me for real joy.
-
No extra cameras or phone pics — we want their eyes on me!
-
Best photos come from interactions: hugs, kisses, laughter, connection.
-
Candid moments = the most meaningful memories ❤️
🌳 Location
-
I shoot with natural light, mostly outdoors — I’ll suggest spots, or share your ideas!
👜 What to Bring
-
Water & snacks
-
Extra clothes (just in case!)
-
And most importantly... your best attitude!
Let’s make some magic together! ✨
