Timing
is Everything
Schedule
your portrait session during your child's upbeat time
for the day after naps and feedings, so that he or she
can enjoy the experience.
Arrive
10 to 15 minutes before your session. Use this
time to relax and allow your child to get use to the
surroundings.
Make
it Personal
Bring
along necessary items to help keep your child happy and
clean, including diapers, wipes, snacks, favorite toys,
and blankets. Bring along some personal props -
costumes, hats, or toys that showcase your child's
personality. Mix
up the Wardrobe When
picking out your child's wardrobe, think bold and
bright, something simple, no busy stripes or
patterns. For family portraits, it's best to dress
everyone in the same style, color, or mood. Bring
a variety of outfits with you. Casual, formal, or
something to reflect your child's personality. It
will help us to capture your child's true self.
Since some portraits may show children from head to toe,
make sure your children wear matching shoes and socks. It's
All Relative Include
other people in portraits with your child. Holding hands
with mom and dad. Big sister kissing her new baby
brother on the nose, etc. You will cherish these
images for years to come. Don't forget the family
pets as well! They are part of your family too. Be
Open-Minded Sometimes
a frown, a wail or even a sleeping baby can make a
portrait. Don't shy away from capturing a variety
of expressions that capture your child's personality. |
