Have fun, relax and enjoy yourself!

If you have young children, bring a toy or something they love to entertain them while you are having your portraits done.  Toys can also help a child relax when having their own portrait taken and may even add a small touch of history to your child's photograph.

Try to schedule any naps or snack times so as to help your child be their happiest during the session.

During the shoot, dont worry about being perfect, we want a relaxed, natural image to portray your family's true character.  Dont worry about your child fidgeting or that they are distracted.  They dont need to smile all the time.  I will help them focus on the camera and in some shots, smile. 

A small child needs help at times or they can feel frustrated or ignored.  Dont worry if we need to stop to take care of them.  Have patience for them.  If necessary, we can schedule 2 small sessions. 

Most of all, have FUN!
