Session Tips
During the session please sit back and relax. It’s often a natural instinct to want to coerce your child into smiling by asking him/her to “say cheese” or by doing something silly. I pride myself on engaging with your kids in a way that elicits a natural and emotive response. It tends to work best if parents stay back (so long as you & your child are comfortable) to allow me to work one-on-one with your child/children. To achieve the poses I love, most of the time I will place you in a position and then just simply direct you to just “be” with your child. More often than not I will have you looking at your child or engaging with them in some way rather than looking at me and smiling.
What to Bring?
I will have most of everything we may need for the session. However, if you have a beloved quilt or a special book/toy of your child’s that you would like to bring, please feel free! I always have a few treats for the kiddos and will try to discreetly ask you about it before I offer it to them. A change of clothes and a comb or a brush is usually a good idea in case a back up is needed.
