For Studio Sessions:

For Outdoor Sessions: One hour before sunset is the best time for photoshoots as it has the most flattering shadows, but if you have a little one then it might be best to schedule after their naptime. If you are interested in a session on the beach, please note the tide varies every day and may impact the available photographable area of the location during your scheduled session.

Prior to the session, coordinate with everyone on what to wear. Avoid busy patterns and choose only one or two colors to repeat through your outfits. This does not mean everyone needs to wear the same thing, but keep a distinct color palette. Neutral colors are the easiest to style.

Please choose the appropriate shoes for the terrain: Be mindful of weather conditions such as wind or temperature and how it may affect your family members during the session. If your session is on the sand, barefoot looks best.

If you have small children, try to get them off any electronic devices and engage them in conversation or playtime 30-45 minutes prior to the session. This makes the transition into taking pictures very smooth and they will not notice any of their fun activities being taken away. Snacks can be used as a reward only if necessary. I recommend small crackers or items that will not stain clothes or teeth if things get messy.
