Family Portraits - Tips & Tricks before our session

I want to make sure you are prepared for this session so I am going to be providing you some tips & tricks! 

Outfits for the session: 

• Outfits can make or break a photoshoot. So I would highly suggest picking a color palette and finding outfits for each person within that color palette.

• I have attached a few color combinations below that look well together for spring colors. (Color inspiration for you)

• I would always suggest the girls be in dresses (It provides more working angles and is more appealing in photos) 

• Wear something that you feel good in. If you already don’t like how you look in the outfit, you are not going to like the photos.

• I would stay away from everyone wearing jeans. -- it ends up blending and looks a little funny in photos. 

A few days before the shoot:

• If you plan to do the following, please do so at least 48 hours before the session:

  • Spray Tans

  • Waxing 

  • Dying of hair 

• Make sure to steam or iron all clothes -- I do not edit wrinkles :) 

• Send Raven any inspo poses if you want anything specific! She will try and incorporate that into the session in her style.

The day of the shoot: 

• Do not wear glasses/ball caps at least two hours before the session. Tell your husbands... ;)

• If you have kids, tell them that we have a planned activity for the entire family, but don't tell them it's a photoshoot. They normally get nervous and cranky before the session.

At the session: 

• Remember to just smile at the camera - I will handle the kids. 

• Relax & have fun! It will go by quickly. :)

Here are some color pallette that I suggest sticking to.
