Prepare your Children

On your way to the photo shoot you will most likely be conversing with your family about what to expect! At this time you will have wrestled some fancy clothes on your kids and fussed over their hair! ;) Everyone is a little uptight and nervous!  Tell your children that we are going to go PLAY and take some pictures!

The more fun we have, the more succesfull the photo shoot will be!

You may want to think twice about bribery!

Some parents hide, while I work with their children. If your child is comfortable this may be the best way for us to get some great shots.

During the family photographs try not to command your children.  If they are wiggling, be playful back.  Please laugh, giggle, and tickle!!


Remember that I am a family photographer that used to be a teacher!  I have seen it all!
