How to have a great portrait session

You have come so far in preparing for your perfect session now that you are closer to the day of your session I have some tips and tricks that will allow you to walk away afterward full of joy. This is the day that you've been getting your beauty rest for.

 

  • Since you have already set the expectation for your older kiddos and expressed how much fun this is while preparing, wiggle out all the fear of what may happen

  • Let your children smile naturally- sometimes this may take a tickle or two to get there but we will roll and adjust as needed if younger kids are not interested in that activity. 

  • Ask Questions! I am so open to answering questions and a listening ear for family traditions and stories

  • Have your plan b in a bag- extra outfits, water, some favorite snacks, favorite toys for younger kids for when there is a transition time for the next step and to get kiddos excited

  • Bring music you enjoy- I'm all for dancing movement and play at sessions. Music is a great way to get those natural smiles giggling.

  • Be yourself and have fun! Your goal should be to have fun and bond lovingly with your family members. As a side tip- I know every family is different but from what I've seen giving an incentive like going to an ice cream shop after the session is way better than waving a cookie and bribing kiddos to smile for the camera.

  • You do not have to look at the camera for every image, Let each child be a star, some of the sweetest moments photographed are your kids at play.

 

I will guide you on posing so there is no stress about what to do, breathe, wiggle and let's go:)

 

See you soon,

Cecilia
