Please be ready and waiting outside of the studio in the hallway 5 minutes before your time slot. This ensures a smooth transition between each session and that we maximize the full 10 minutes for you.
A friendly reminder that I do not grant additional time or offer reschedules if you are running late, so please plan accordingly. As a mom who has booked photo sessions for my own fam, the tablet is my best friend. I always plan to arrive 30 minutes early and have them chill in the van with a phone when we park… but to each their own!
WARDROBE TIPS
The studio is a white/cream backdrop, so of course you can never go wrong with dressing in similar (creams, white, browns, greys). That being said I know for myself, I love color and adding that into most of my own family sessions. So the best tip I have is to pick a “softer tone” of the color you want.
For example, if you love blue AVOID royal blue and instead choose a navy or muted blue. If you love purple go for lavender. All colors naturally have muted versions, which tend to photograph better and don’t reflect onto skin tones harshly.
Here are some neutral examples and also colored options below (taken from Pinterest… so don’t hesitate to go on the app and search more based on the color you picture).
MUTED COLOR EXAMPLES
Lastly, don’t stress about how your kiddos behave. Trust me, I have seen it ALL {and have some wild kids myself who give me a run for my money constantly}, so please don’t stress if they’re off that day. I will have a few tricks up my sleeve and your only job as their mom is to be present :)
If you need to reach me on the day, my cell is 403-993-6020. I won’t be answering my phone during the photo sessions (2-4pm), so text would be preferred and I will do my best to get back to you between. And as always, you can email me if you have any questions beforehand
