THE WEATHER

Always an unknown, but I will be keeping an eye on the weather as we approach your session day and we will coordinate any adjustments required. If the weather does not support we will identify an alternate date as soon as possible.

the location

Lots of things to think about with the location. If you look below you will see some popular locations in the area. These are just for reference and certainly not a comprehensive list. As we discuss your desires we can identify unique locations that will help us recreate your vision.

THE KIDDOS

Keeping the kids engaged and happy is half the battle (as you know). I won't pretend to know what makes your little one tick but some general things to consider would be naps and food ahead of the shoot. Maybe some snacks for later? Having a good game plan and being flexible will be the name of the game here.

What to bring:

None of these are required but good to consider for your comfort.

• Water / Snacks
• Sunscreen
• A Jacket / Hat
• A Brush (for those windy days)
• Comfortable Shoes
• Additional Clothing (Shirts, Hats, Scarves, Etc)

what to wear:

Choose the right colors:

• Coordinate, don't match - We want to avoid the "matching uniform" look (like everyone wearing identical white shirts and blue jeans). Instead, aim to coordinate.

What to avoid:

• Steer clear of bright, fluorescent neons, which can cast strange color reflections onto your skin. Similarly, pure, stark white can sometimes lose its detail in bright sunlight, so off-whites and creams are usually a better choice.
• Don't wear watches or jewelry that you don't want in all of the photos. Things like Apple Watches, hair ties, etc distract from the main focus (you).
• Avoid large logos - Graphic tees with big brand names or distracting text pull the eye away from the emotion of the photo.
