What to wear or not to wear, that is the big question! It is best to have your outfits ready to go several days in advance. Take plenty of time to try them on. You want them to look and feel great. Doing this in advance will alleviate stress as picture day approaches.

Make sure you and your family are well rested! Go to bed early, if possible, the night before. Kids and adults both need their beauty sleep. A well-rested family is a family that is ready to rock out their photoshoot.

Amp it up. I love making the session enjoyable for you, your kids, and/or anybody else who participates in it. Have them mentally prepared for the whole process. For family photoshoots, I recommend you talk to your kids about how much fun it will be. Tell them you are going to be meeting our new friend (Anna). You can tell them about my cool camera, and equipment. Tell them how famous people go to photoshoots and make it interesting to them! The sky is the limit here.

A little bribe never hurts anybody, right? Bring a snack, favorite toy, noisemaker, blanket, basically anything that makes your child(ren) happy! We can use these as rewards for a job well done or just to get that perfect shot.

Top mistake alert: I HIGHLY recommend coming with a full belly. Waiting until after our photoshoot can cause major problems. A hangry child, spouse, or even yourself probably won’t enjoy the mini-session and have irritability. Keep your clothes photo-ready and clean by dressing for the shoot after you eat.
