Color Scheme
-Make sure you pick a color scheme that compliments the location of your session!
-Coordinate your outfits, choose outfit colors that compliment each other!
-Refrain from too many bold patterns
-Layer up! This is an easy way to add texture to photos.
KIddos
-Let your kids know that you're going to have a fun time with our friend Ashley!
-Make sure your kids eat before the session, a hangry kid is less likely to have a good time.
-Should you bring the snacks? Yes! Do it! Just make sure its not too messy.
-Dress them in something they're comfortable wearing, it creates a calmer atmosphere.
Have FUN!
-This is important! Have fun! Come with an open mind and a playful heart!
-I'll be prompting a lot of eye contact, hand holding, and warm embrace. Come prepared!
-I want to capture the relationship within the family, true and authentic connection.
Newborn Prep
Welcome little one!
A lifestyle newborn session typically takes place in the living room, nursery and sometimes bedroom.
I also always suggest no shoes / socks on to add a homey warmth to the photos!
Some helpful tips for the day of the session:
-Keep the house warmer than you usually would
-feed babe 15-20 min before session
-try to keep babe awake before the session
Essentially we're aiming for a nice milk drunk / sleepy baby during the session! It's OK if that doesn't happen so don't stress!
Take notice of what light does, to everything
