This guide will walk you through everything you need to know, from outfit choices to keeping the little ones happy and engaged.
What to Wear: Dress for Success (and Style!)
- Coordinate, Don’t Match: Choose outfits that complement each other without being too identical. Think coordinating colors or patterns, rather than everyone wearing the same thing. This creates a harmonious look while allowing each personality to shine through.
- Comfort is Key: Choose comfortable outfits that you can move freely in. A photoshoot should be fun and relaxed, not a fashion struggle!
- Keep it Simple: Avoid busy patterns, logos, or large graphics that can distract from your faces. Solid colors or subtle patterns work best.
- Consider the Location and Season: Think about where your photoshoot will take place and the time of year. Flowing dresses and light colors might be perfect for a summer meadow, while cozy sweaters and warm tones are ideal for an autumnal woodland setting.
Prepping the Kids: Happy Kids, Happy Photos
- Talk About It: Explain to your children what will happen during the photoshoot. Show them photos from my website or social media so they know what to expect. The more they know, the more relaxed they’ll be.
- Pack Snacks and Drinks: Hungry and thirsty kids don’t make for happy models! Pack some of their favorite snacks and drinks to keep them fueled and content throughout the session.
- Bring a Comfort Item: A favorite toy or blanket can work wonders in calming nerves and providing a sense of security.
- Relax and Have Fun: The most important thing is to relax and let your children be themselves! I’ll capture those genuine smiles, playful moments, and loving interactions that make your family unique.
The Day Before: Prepare for a Smooth Photoshoot
- Rest Up: A good night’s sleep for everyone will make a big difference in your energy levels and moods.
- Plan Your Outfits: Lay out everyone’s outfits to avoid any last-minute stress. This also gives you a chance to make sure everything coordinates and looks its best.
- Pack a Bag of Essentials: Snacks, drinks, touch-up makeup, hairbrushes – pack anything you might need to keep everyone looking and feeling their best.
