Are you dreading planning your session? Are you dreading trying to get all those kiddos to smile?
Dont worry! Your session is going to be fun!! As a mother of three and a nana as well, I know how you feel! It’s easy to get overwhelmed with the planning of the outfits, choosing the perfect location and keeping everyone happy long enough to at least look happy in the photos. It’s one of my specialties and I love working with children! Here are a few tips as we begin to plan your session. sessio Remember that I’m here with you through the whole thing so be sure to relax and let things flow! When we’re deciding on a location think about places you and your family LOVE and have the most fun. Or just leave it to me because I know the places that work well. We can go to the beach, a close by park, in the studio, we can chat about it! Wherever it is we’ll make sure to capture your family being your family and having FUN! - When choosing outfits refer to the “What to Wear” portion of this guide and remember it’s likely you can choose right from clothing you already have! - Don’t stress about convincing your child (or husband) to give the perfect smile, I’ve got it covered. The best thing you can do to help make this happen is to relax and let me handle it. I pride myself on taking the time to get to know your family, to play and have fun. During this time I’ll get the fun candids but also convince your child that they like me enough to smile for those perfect shots! - ALSO I offer a hair and makup service, just ask me about it if you feel like some pampering before your session.
Deciding what to wear for your session can seem like a huge chore. Following these simple tips will help you chose the perfect outfits for your upcoming session with ease! Don’t forget to check your cupboards first! DO - Choose a colour scheme based on where you’d like to hang these pictures. Ex. If you’re planning on a living room wall display and your living room is decorated in earth tones choose colours that will coordinate. DON’T - Match. Leave the jeans and white t-shirts at home and instead choose a colour scheme and coordinate. DO - Layer. The more layers the better. Sweaters, scarves, jewellery, blazers layers create visual interest and add texture throughout your pictures. picture They’re a great addition. DON’T - Be afraid of patterns. Plaids, polkadot, florals and stripes can be overwhelming when all paired together but mixing in a few patterns here and there are another great way to add some interest to you photo session. DO - Pay attention to your shoes. Shoes matter! A pair of nike sneakers mixed in with cute boots and dress shoes can be an eye sore in your photos. Try to stick with neutral shoes for the whole family. DON’T - Wear logos. As much as shoes can be an eye sore so can a big logo across a t-shirt. Try to steer clear of sports or brand logos or sayings across the front of your shirt. shir Again, this takes the attention away from the family and brings the eye right to the t-shirt. DO - Stay comfortable! Especially for mom, pick something you love and build around that. Wear something you’re comfortable sitting, standing, running and playing in! DON’T - Over think it! You want your family to look like your family so don’t stress to much about the outfits. Be sure to have fun with it! I've not had clients that have turned out badly dressed yet so just do your thing :)
You’ve already had a blast at your session but now things are about to get even better! Two weeks or so after your session we’ll have your viewing and ordering meeting here at the studio. You’ll see all of your images for the first time. It’s definitely something to get excited about! I love showing you the photos. I willl show you a custom slideshow with your images and then we will go through them and pick your favorites. You can also take a look at all of the product samples. Seeing everything in person will really give favorite you a sense of what products are most important to you. Again, let me assure you, no hard sell, I am simply providing a service to you. YOU came to me for the photos, and I want to show you what I can provide. You’ll have plently of time to ask any questions, see what sizes will work best and enough time to pick out your favorites. The collections on the following page have been put together to give you the absolute best quality produtct for the best value. The goal of the reveal night is to finalize your order so we can get your prints and products to you as soon as possible. To help make this stress free it’s a great idea to take a look through all of the different products and collections so you can go into it with an idea of what might work best for you. Once you’ve seen your images that may change but it’s always good to have an idea when we get started. When all the fun of the reveal is over, ove you’ll have a short wait before you’ll have those images in your hands! Digital files purchased will be made available with a 6 x 4" print within a few days and you can expect to have your prints and products in hand within 2-4 weeks. When everything is in we’ll schedule a time that I can hand over everything to make sure it gets there safely! As always, please feel free to ask me any questions and remember you ONLY BUY WHAT YOU LOVE! Best, Wendy
