We all want your Family Portraits to be the best they can be.

But how do you make that happen?

Here are 5 easy tips to have THE BEST Family Portrait Session.

  1. Choose the right outfit

Check out this fun blog post on What to Wear

Start thinking about each family member’s outfit right after you book your session

Pick Mom’s outfit first then choose the other member’s outfits that compliment mom’s colors

Lay out each outfit next to each other to see if you like the way they compliment each other.  

Remember accessories (belts, earring, necklaces, etc.)

After you’ve chosen your outfits, make sure they stay clean by putting them away in your closet

2. Take care of yourself

The day before, drink lots of water and go to bed early

The morning of your session have a favorite breakfast as a family and focus on enjoying each other’s company

3. Hype up the fam

Talk about how much fun we’re going to have at the session

Let them know that we’ll only be shooting for less than an hour

Maybe you’ll go for a special lunch/dinner/dessert after the session

4. During your session

Play!

Throw away expectations and focus on how much fun you’re having.

Silliness and snuggles look so much better than forced smiles.

5. After your session

Celebrate that you did it!

Take a deep breath and be happy that now all you have to do is wait for me to edit your photos.
