Happy Tuesday (or as I like to say, Happy at least it's not Monday!). Given that the crazy fall photography season is upon us, I thought it would be a great time to share a few of my favorite tips for family photos. As an Orange County Family Photographer, nothing makes me happier than seeing my clients happy with their images, and there are a few things you can always do to make your session go as smoothly as possible.
1. Make sure your kiddos are well rested and fed. There is nothing harder than a child who comes to a session hungry and/or tired. As parents, we all know how our kids get when they are like this! This time of year, sessions tend to be around dinner time (when the light is best) for some families, so if your family is one of those, either eat early (but don't wear your session clothes to make sure no stains get on them!) or make sure your kids have a good snack (bananas and PB, a hard boiled egg, etc) that will keep their bellies happy during our session! This makes is so much easier to get those natural smiles and laughs.
