Let’s keep it simple. Here are some quick tips on how to prep for family photos with your kids so the session stays fun and relaxed:
FOOD: Happy kids make for easygoing sessions! A quick, mess-free snack keeps everyone happy and gives us extra time to finish your session. Try gummy bears—they’re fun and easy to grab when kids need a boost. Keeping everyone fed is one of the easiest ways to prep for family photos without stress.
OUTFITS: Stressing over outfits? Don’t! Let’s do a quick FaceTime, and I’ll help you pull something together. I work closely with clients to create looks that feel natural and true to their style. That’s why everyone in my photos looks like themselves. Whether you prefer a casual, colorful vibe or a more neutral, classic feel, I’ll make sure it all comes together. Coordinating outfits is a big part of how to prep for family photos, and I make it stress-free.
WHAT TO SAY TO KIDS: You know your kids best, but most just want to know this will be fun—and that their favorite people will be right there if they need a little comfort. That being said, a lot of kids do just fine once we get them outside. Fresh air, after all, puts everyone in a good mood. Ultimately, keeping things light and playful is the best way to prep for family photos and ensure everyone enjoys the experience.
