Session Tips

 

 

I wanted to take some time to share some tips on creating a wonderful session!

 

First and foremost….. HAVE FUN!!!

I don’t want you to have a stressful session and for our time together to feel like a chore.  I understand that kids cry, they need breaks and when you are stressed they are stressed.  We will take our time during our session to have some fun and for you to be yourself!

 

Bring a snack

Sometimes babies and kids need a moment to have a quick snack to stay happy for their session.  Please feel free to bring along an extra bottle, juice box, crackers or any snack!

 

It’s okay not to smile :)

I know that sounds silly, who wouldn’t smile for pictures :)  BUT…. let the smiles happen on their own!  From time to time I can be funny and help you and your kiddo smile without the cheese face.  Also, some of my favorite pictures are of a kids and babies being a little serious.

 

Book a full session

I offer mini and full sessions and I ALWAYS recommend booking a full session for family pictures and multiple children.  We will get a better variety of images and more images with a longer 1-2 hour session, compared to a 30 minute session.  Mini sessions are great for capturing a babies milestone or to celebrate a child’s birthday.

 

If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me!
