Winning during family sessions!

Why make your session a chore?

So, you have a family session coming up! Yay for you! You made the first jump of scheduling a session for your family.... now comes the stress of outfits, crying, bribing, yelling and chasing. What to do, what to do?

When booking your family session, it is important to hype it up as a fun adventure! I always recommend a few tips when you book and then continue to send them up until the hour before! My day of tip is the most important, I recommend rest and relaxation, try not to put too much on your plate that day and wear everyone out! Now, the one thing to start planning is your outfits!

First of all, please don't be "matchy matchy" ! Jeans and all white t-shirts are a thing of the past. It's 2020 people, show off your style and glam! It is more important that you coordinate your outfits, not match them. Gorgeous mauves and navy with cream colors and mustards! Not too many patterns on each person or the pictures will get too busy. Sometimes, well most of the time, less is more! Let me make the magic with your edits and leave all the stress to me!

The day of your session, talk about how much fun we are going to have! Build up the excitement and the adventure. Also, I am TOTALLY not against bribery of some amazing ice cream for the kiddos after their session, after all, you know how hard it is for them to act like they enjoy what we are doing?! Let me be the person to guide them and tell them what to do and make ridiculous jokes and noises. You just continue to smile and laugh so that when they do give me that perfect look, you are all there! On the same page, looking at me being so silly and telling the worst jokes I possibly could!

This is a special time, these are memories you will only have that one time. Taking your pictures, your memories and putting them into a moment in time is my job. I can tell the story without words, that is what I do. Let's schedule your family session and have some fun times, make many memories and put them on your walls. I can be your guide and help you through the day that so many have come to dread, it's a family session, not a reunion!
