Tips and Tricks for your family session!
Family sessions are some of my favorite sessions to shoot and so special. I love being able to document such timeless moments and give my clients something to treasure forever. To ease the stress of preparing for a family photoshoot I created a list of my top 5 recommendations on how to get ready for your session.
Time of day! Of course Golden hour is my absolute favorite time to shoot but for some families its not always the ideal time. Golden hour can be sunrise or sunset and this can mean doing a session right in the middle of dinner time or bedtime. Be sure to express your normal family routine with your photographer and see what would be ideal. Your photographer may be able to accommodate the time of the session accordingly.
Don’t come hungry!! The worst is showing up to a session and everyone is just plain hangry!!! Eating dinner before your session is ideal and this way you can entice the kids with an after session dessert! Ice Cream anyone? I totally get that this isn’t always possible or its off routine so if a full meal isn’t in the cards the bring snacks and more snacks!!
Outfits!!!
Sunburns
Don’t stack a photoshoot on top of a already hectic day!
