Thanks for signing up for your family portrait session!
Please make sure to let me know in advance how many people will be in your photos and their names, and ages of kids.
The fine print:
Your immediate family only, please. Extended family is an option but requires additional time. Please contact me if you need to purchase additional time.
Photos will happen for sure unless I get sick, if we get active precipitation, or winds that exceed 10mph.
If you are bringing a pet, please bring treats. Pets must remain on leash.
If you need to cancel, your session fee can be applied to a regular session on a future date.
Preparing for your portrait session:
Avoid matchy-matchy! Instead coordinate from a palette of colors.
Let mom pick her outfit first, everyone coordinates around her.
Leave the ‘cheese’ at home. Don’t prep kids to have their ‘smile faces’ on – just prepare to have fun!
Especially for young kids – if you bring snacks, bring things that won’t stain or stick to teeth
If you are bringing a dog, please notify me in advance.
For those with glasses, do not wear glasses with transitions lenses to your session. We will not be able to see your eyes.
Wear comfy shoes for outdoor photos.
Pack bribes and surprises for kids – or for me because I could have a tantrum at any minute. No really.
The best way to get your kids to smile is to love them and play with them.
Prepare to roll with it. Kids will be kids.
Arrive early because with kids, that means you'll probably be right on time.
Trust me to guide you, even if it feels awkward.
