Arrive on time! This helps keep things stress-free and lets you start the session relaxed.
Plan your children’s sleep schedule. If the session falls during their usual nap time, try adjusting their routine to keep them happy and awake.
Feed your children beforehand. A full belly means happy kids! If needed, you can arrive a little early and feed them in the car. Feel free to bring small treats or bribes to help keep them smiling.
No eating in the studio. However, you’re welcome to bring snacks or drinks for after the session.
Clean up! Make sure your kids' faces (eyes, nose, and mouth) are clean, as little things tend to get missed. I have wipes in the studio, just in case.
Check nails and hair. Please ensure their nails are clean and hair is tidy, as I won't be editing things like chipped nail polish or frizzy hair during Christmas Minis.
Remove any hair ties or watches before the shoot to avoid marks, as these can’t be edited out.
Parents, don’t forget yourselves! Make sure your hair and makeup are done before the session so you're ready to shine too.
