Prepping for your Family Session
Capturing the magic of family moments is an art, especially when little ones are involved!
Here are some tips to ensure a smooth and enjoyable photography session with your young crew:
1. **Bring Snacks & Comfort Items:** Keep those smiles going by having their favorite snacks and comfort items handy. It's a great way to keep everyone happy and content.
2. **Choose Comfortable Outfits:** Opt for outfits that are not only adorable but also comfortable. This will help the little ones move freely and enjoy the session.
3. **Timing is Key:** Schedule your session during a time when your children are typically well-rested and fed. Happy and relaxed kiddos make for the best photos!
4. **Be Patient & Playful:** Kids will be kids! Embrace the candid moments and let them be themselves. A playful and patient atmosphere often leads to the most genuine smiles.
5. **Bring Props or Toys:** Consider bringing along a favorite toy or a prop to keep the little ones engaged. It adds a personal touch and makes for adorable photos.
6. **Explore the Location Together:** Before the session, explore the location with your kids. Familiarity can make them feel more comfortable and excited during the shoot.
7. **Coordinate, Don’t Match:** Instead of matching outfits, opt for coordinated colors. This adds visual interest without everyone looking identical. I'll send you an email with wardrobe ideas in advance!
8. **Communicate Expectations:** If there are specific poses or moments you want to capture, communicate them with your photographer beforehand. It helps in planning and ensures everyone is on the same page.
