7 Tips for a Smooth Family Session


 

With Summer Golden Hour sessions right around the corner,

here's some tips to create a smooth session with your kiddos!

 

1. Communicate with your photographer:

Before the session, communicate with your photographer about your expectations, preferences, and any concerns you may have.


 

2. Dress appropriately:

Choose outfits that are comfortable, coordinate well with each other, and fit the style of photography you want to achieve. Avoid clothes with busy patterns or logos that may distract from the subject.


 

3. Bring snacks and water:

If you have young children, bring snacks and water to keep them happy and energized during the session.


 

4. Be on time:

Arrive on time for the session to allow enough time for everyone to get ready and to avoid feeling rushed.


 

5. Stay relaxed:

Encourage your family to stay relaxed and have fun during the session. A relaxed and happy family will lead to more natural and beautiful photos.


 

6. Be flexible:

Be open to suggestions from your photographer and willing to try different poses and locations. Sometimes the best photos come from unexpected moments.


 

7. Keep the mood positive:

Avoid scolding or getting upset with your family during the session. A positive mood and attitude will help keep everyone happy and relaxed.


 

Remember, a successful photography session is a collaboration between the family

and the photographer, so communicate well, be prepared, and have fun!
