Tips For A Great Kids Photoshoot

Looking to have a photoshoot or have one planned for your little ones? We put some tips together to help make your appointment go more smoothly with less frowns and tears.

1) If they haven’t been professionally photographed before, have a family member or friend they don’t see often snap a few photos on a phone camera (with and without flash). This can help them get more use to a stranger trying to get their attention and take a photo along with possible flashing lights.

2) If you have a cake smash in mind, have your baby try some cake or cupcakes before the shoot. A lot of parents come in without their babies trying any cake or sweets. More often than not, if the cake smash is their first sweet or cake interaction they don’t know what to do with the cake and there is less “cake smashing” and eating.

3) Have your kids get a good night’s sleep. Tired kids make for grumpy and fussy pictures. If they take naps, try to schedule your appointment around nap times.

4) Make sure the kids eat before hand. Happy bellies make big, happy smiles. Bring along snacks and drinks for a quick snack break if needed.

5) Have the kids wear something comfortable. That doesn’t necessarily mean sweatpants and a t-shirt, but something that fits well, and isn’t tight, itchy, or distracting.

6) Bring their favorite toy or two and have their favorite music on hand to help bring out those smiles!

Or if you would rather wait until everything dies down, we would love to help you out, whether it be with a space or pictures. Contact us with any questions you may have!

Play With Them

We know you may be running on fumes as to how to keep those precious, little ones occupied, but know they love having you around. On the brighter side of things, you do get to see and spend more time with your kids and family. Enjoy it, it won’t last forever. As much as they may make you want to pull the hair out of your head and may barely give you time to work, those little smiles and laughs make everything worth it. So when you have the chance, play the game with them, tell the story to them, watch the movie with them, lay in bed and laugh with them, make breakfast with them. Don’t let quarantine ruin things; these are precious moments, don’t let them slip away.

As always, stay safe and continue to love.

We Are All In This Together

To everyone working outside of their homes, our essential workers, thank you for continuing to help all of us go about our lives as much as possible.
