Not sure what actually happens during a photo shoot? Or worse, have you ever had a stressful or bad photo session before? Well, rest assured that sessions with me are very stress-free and simple… read on so you know what to expect!
Relax and enjoy the session
Sessions with me are fun and informal! We’ll laugh and go along with what the kids can handle. I have a knack for cracking smiles and capturing the connection between your family. Our time will be low key and stress-free! Parents, you don’t have to worry so much about making your child smile at the camera or whether or not they want to stay in your arms. I strive to capture your authentic family connection however it looks. :)
I’ll guide you through everything
Wondering what to do and when to do it? Don't worry! During your session I will guide you through it all. I will give you verbal cues about what I would like you to do. I don’t “pose” you per se, but I might tell you to scooch closer together or perhaps to hold hands or even dance. I’ll often remind you to look at each other and not the camera, in order to get that lifestyle photography feel. (Never fear, we’ll get that great shot of your family looking directly at the camera, but for the rest of the time you’ll simply be focused on your family experience).
For family sessions we’ll generally do the following sequence:
- family shots
- mom/parent & kids
- dad/parent & kids
- children together
- each child individually
For newborn sessions we’ll progress from:
- just the baby/babies
- add the sibling(s)
- add mom
- put dad in place of mom
- next add dad for all family shots
- then do just mom and baby
- and end with just dad and baby
Covid Safety Precautions
Current covid safety precautions I take are as follows: I will wear a mask the entire session and I will wash/disinfect my hands before leaving my house. If doing a newborn session, upon arrival at your house I will wash my hands again and use sanitizer. If doing a family session I will sanitize my hands again before the session. During any type of photo shoot I will NOT be guiding you through touch. I will verbally let you know what to do and how, so we can keep a safe distance.
If on location, I do recommend you wear a mask while walking to our meeting place. Once we start the session you may put them off to the side so we can see your beautiful faces. :)
