Tips for a Successful Newborn Session

• Baby should have a full tummy before leaving your home so they will be ready once arrived

• Bring a soother if baby takes one

• Try to keep baby awake prior to shoot (a bath before the shoot helps keep them awake)

• Bring bottles if baby takes a bottle

• Make sure baby has a dry diaper before leaving your home

• Dress baby in clothes that are easy to remove (no over the head shirts)

Tips for a Successful Family Session

• Dress in neutrals (browns, tan, cream all photograph well)

• Pick one colour (usually mom's dress) and coordinate colours to it

• Different textures of fabric look great

• I will direct you once we start shooting, but we mostly just play with the kids the entire time

• I shoot close to sunset to get the most flattering light on skin tones. So make sure to feed your children before hand... full tummies = happy kids

• I give every child a small gift at the end which motivates them to try their best

Tips for a Successful Maternity Session

• Session should take place between 26-34 weeks

• Wear seamless underwear

• Full access to my maternity client closet

• Wear comfortable shoes

• Remember to use the restroom before photoshoot
