Tips
Wardrobe Tips
Before purchasing new outfits, you should review your closet to see if you have anything that can be utilized for your session. Give yourself a few days before your session to plan and get anything additional for the family that you may need.
Consider getting your hair, nails and/or makeup professionally done before your session to make you look and feel your most confident self.
Instead of matching your outfits, aim to coordinate them.
Neutrals and simple plain colors work great when paired with accessory details.
Relax & Have Fun The more relaxed you are, the more the rest of the family will be too. A mini session can feel a little rushed and sometimes chaotic with children who can be moody.
Arrive Early Aim to arrive 15 minutes before your session begins, especially if you have little ones, always have a back-up outfit plan. Bring wet wipes and a Tide To-Go Stain Remover Pen.
Prepare your little ones!
Ensure your child is well-fed, well-hydrated, and well-rested before the session. Avoid candy, soda, sugar before the shoot.
Talk to your child the upcoming shoot, about what the setting will be, what you expect of them, practice getting the “real smile” – by finding that phrase that truly makes them smile! Talk to them about having to stay in one position or one spot and being still. Practice this prior to your headshot session.
Plan to do something fun after your photo session as a reward. A promise to go to the playground, or go to the movies, or stop for an ice cream can be enough of a reward to help your child look forward to the session.
