You have done your homework and hired the photographer whose work
appears to be best in line with the style and quality of photos that you desire
for your family, but now what? There are certain steps that you can your family
can take in order to best prepare for your photo session. Consider these
photo’s an investment in your family’s personal history and therefore worth
prepping for.
1) Set
a time and date most conducive to family relaxation
Book the session for the right time when your family can arrived
unhurriedly and can relax for a few minutes. Directly from work, from school or
from other daily activities of your family is not an appropriate time for the
session. Set a day when everyone is off work or no classes, or a day with no
other engagements or conflicts.
2) Prepare
your children in advance
Depending on your child’s personality consider letting them know
about this session in advance and what will be expected of them. Consider
having a surprise plan or a special treat like cakes or shopping planned for
after the session, so they look forward and get excited for the whole day.
3) Dress
so everyone feels their best
Plan for your family’s personal hygiene and physical
appearances (i.e. haircuts, makeup, and nails – if applicable) in advance so
everyone can project or pose stunningly and fabulously. Plan non clashing
outfits, remembering that solid colors often look best in these type of
photos. Don’t leave getting ready yourself until the last minute.
