How to Prepare for your Family Photos

I hope that you will trust me throughout this process. The number 1 goal is for you to relax and have fun! I begin working on this goal the moment you contact me for your session all the way until your final product is delivered. I promise that I will explain to you what I am doing as we go through your session. I will put your family at ease as I try to get to know you. We will talk and laugh and play and you will hardly even realize that I’m hard at work! I will give you guidance through poses but also just let you interact naturally, as this is when your true connection shines! Do not worry about how you look, just leave it up to me to capture those beautiful moments that you never even knew were happening.

For your family session, please have grace with your kiddos. I am really great at finding ways to get kids to have fun in front of the camera but they might be hesitant if they think mommy & daddy may think they’re acting up. Please encourage them to be respectful of everyone (me, you and their siblings) while we have fun all together. My style of shooting families may feel chaotic to some but I'm getting on the kid's level, and that will help us create some wonderful memories!
