session
a few smiple tips for a successful portrait session
sit back D uring
relax
the session please sit back and relax.
It’s often a natural
instict to want to coerce your child into smiling by aking him/her to “say cheese” or by doing something silly.
I pride myself on engaging
with your kids in a way that elicits a natural and emotive response. It tends to work best if parents stay back (so long as you & your c h i l d a r e c o m f o r t a b l e ) t o a l l o w m e t o w o r k o n e - o n - o n e w i t h t h e s u b j e c t . www.gretchenjohnsonphoto.com

special treats I
encourage you not to bribe your kid(s) or promise special treats
prior to the session.
In my experience children can be so focused
on earning a treat they want to rush through the session to earn said prize. With your permission I would like to offer your child a special surprise as we near the end of the session. This usually works wonders for me in capturing additional frames we may have otherwise missed as kids are typically intrigued by a new promise of a reward. I have a variety of treats available (stickers, activity sheets with colored pencils, and sweet treats). If you would prefer your child not have an edible treat please let me know and I will plan accordingly.
break time If
your child becomes restless at
any point during the session please know that it’s not uncommon for me to set down my camera and play with your child for a few minutes. This gives your child a break and helps them trust that I have their best interest in mind.

what to wear A
common question among clients is what they should wear
to their portrait session.
Clothing choices are an intregal
part of the final prints so for that reason I’m outlining a few things to consider when selecting outfits. COORDINATE COLORS
Coordinating
colors tend to photograph better than outfits
that are perfectly matched.
Consider selecting a palette of
3 - 4 c o o r d i n a t i n g c o l o r s a n d s e l e c t o u t f i t s w i t h i n t h e p a l e t t e for each family member.
ADD SOME LAYERS
Layering
vests, jackets, and scarves is an easy and natural
way to give depth and texture to your final images.
While
it’s fun to play with accessories try not to overdo it or they may end up distracting from the subject(s). BE TRUE TO YOU
My
goal is to capture authentic images of your children
and/or your family. Select clothes that reflect your personal style and taste rather than forcing yourselves into something trendy or outside of your comfort zone. www.gretchenjohnsonphoto.com
