How to prepare for your session:

What should I wear? This is always one of the first questions I get and there are a few suggestions to help you choose outfits that will photograph well, however none of these are hard and fast rules.  Most of all,  I want you to feel great in what you are wearing and that your clothes are  a true representation of who you are.  Mommas, I always suggest you choose YOUR outfit first and coordinate the rest of the people in your photos with what you feel great in.   Click here for my guide on what to wear. 

My desire is for you to be way more intentional about your connections to each other than your connection to my camera.  Please don't feel like you have to stand still and look right at the camera. To be honest, there will be much more of the opposite.  I will have you moving and touching and playing a lot.  Don't worry about not knowing what to do.  I will help guide you through prompts, questions and activities to get those perfectly candid and honest connections. 

Wondering how your kids will behave can be one of the most stressful parts for parents.  I am hear to tell you right now to let that stress go!  I am not looking for perfectly behaved, fake smiling children.  I want them to have fun with you while being photographed.  I love getting to know kids and what their interests and hobbies are.  I will ask them about lots of things and want them to feel free to talk to me while I'm taking their photo.  We might get a little silly and that's ok!   If your child is shy, that is fine too.  You don't have to put pressure on them to be or do anything that they don't want to do.
