So you want memories to be preserved in family portraits.
The little ones cute toothless smile, those perfect curls, the longest eyeslashes you have ever seen.
Or, maybe you remember the feelings you had when you saw your family portrait on the wall....
pride, love, and sense of belonging:)
And then you start thinking of the stress it will add to your life,
getting the whole family spruced up and ready to go
Not to mention keeping their attention during the session and keeping the less than stellar behaviors at bay.
Well, I am here to tell you leave the hard stuff up to your photographers!
Here's a little note on how to prep your Little Ones for the session that will help take that stress down a notch:)
Before your photoshoot, pack a bag with snacks, water and any small objects (like toys or lollipops) that might help us get their attention when it’s time for them to look at the camera. If they are old enough to understand you, it’s a good idea to prepare them for what’s to come before the session starts. Explain how much the photos mean to you so they know to be on their best behavior. A lot of families discuss and pick something fun in advance as a treat after the session if they’re good listeners, like an ice cream cone, for example. It also helps if they’re bellies are full and they’ve had some good rest beforehand. Once you prepare them physically and mentally, then feel free to give them (and you!) grace! They’re little, and we know that some days don’t always go as planned. We’ve seen it all and will make sure to get you great photos, regardless of their moods. Our goal is to make this as fun and stress-free as it possibly can be for you and your family!
