CONGRADULATIONS!
Your Family session with us is now secured, and we can’t
Wait to craft stunning memories with you.
HOW TO PREPARE
01-GET EVERYONE READY
A little preparation goes a long way! Plan haircuts a few days before your session, and keep nails clean and natural. For moms, soft, polished hair and makeup photograph beautifully. Choose a look that feels like you, just a little more refined.
02-HAIR, MAKEUP & FINISHING TOUCHES
Please arrive with your hair and makeup done and everyone dressed and ready for their portraits.
Bring a hairbrush, hair ties or clips, lip color for touch-ups, and any accessories you'd like to incorporate. A little body lotion is also helpful to keep skin looking smooth and hydrated.
Choose outfits that complement one another rather than matching exactly. Soft neutrals, earthy tones, and subtle textures create a timeless, cohesive look.
Avoid large logos, bold graphics, and busy patterns that may distract from your family's connection. Make sure everyone's shoes coordinate with their outfits, especially for full-length portraits.
Most importantly, choose clothing that feels comfortable and allows everyone to move naturally.
03-COORDINATE YOUR OUTFITS
You don't need to worry about everyone looking at the camera or smiling at the same time. Some of the most meaningful photographs happen in between the posed moments.
I'll guide you through the session while giving your family space to interact, laugh, and simply be together.
05- KEEP IT NATURAL
06-RELAX & ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE
A well-rested, happy child makes all the difference! Try to keep your family's usual nap and meal routines in mind before your session.
Bring a few favorite snacks, water, and a small toy or comfort item for younger children. Avoid messy or colorful snacks that might stain clothing.
There's no need to practice posing or ask your children to smile perfectly. I'll guide everyone throughout the session and leave room for natural, playful moments.
04-KEEP THE LITTLE ONES HAPPY
Avoid spray tans, excessive bronzers, and shimmery body products before your session. Natural skin tones photograph beautifully and create a more timeless finish.
Keep accessories simple and thoughtful, allowing the focus to remain on your family's expressions and connection.
For your Partner/Family members
For your partner and family members, we recommend choosing clothing that matches the style of your portraits. During your pre-session consultation, we'll discuss what this might entail. If you're going for a casual look, some fitted jeans and t-shirts or dress shirts in dark tones will do the trick for a more formal look, opt for a button-down shirt, pants, and shoes.
