3 tips on how to get GREAT Family photos with kids!!
➡️ Feed them BEFORE your session. Hangry kids make for a disaster. Feed their bellies and maybe even bribe for a fun treat afterwards!
➡️ Plan your session BEFORE it's too cold outside. Teens and adults can get through a session in colder weather but the little one's, not so much. Not only are they trying to get under moms skirt or wanting to hide their faces, their little noses turn bright red! A little chill in the air is fine, doing a session in the winter is not! Always bring a jacket or sweater to put on them that coordinates with their outfit. You'll thank me later!
➡️ Don't worry about directing the kiddo's. Let ME do it! Lot's of times the parents think they are helping by trying to move or direct kids when I'm telling them what I want them to do. You just leave that up to me, I promise I EXPECT this. I love taking pictures of kids, in fact some of the best shots are candid ones of them just being themselves. A lot of times we end up with the kids finally in the right position and then the parents aren't! Let me take the pressure of getting those little ones where I want them and you just take a break!
Hope these help!😍
