Focusing more on connection and less on distraction. Family Photographer based in Victoria, Texas.

There are plenty of nerves and stresses involved as you prepare to rally the troops for a family photo session. From worrying that your toddler will be uncooperative to fearing your partner will lose interest and be ready to hop in the car after a few minutes – all these emotions are valid.

From the moment you book your session with me I will walk you through the process of preparation including how to make the most of our time together. Below are a few client tips I always find helpful.

1. Make a day of it. Start preparing mentally and emotionally the moment you wake up on your session date by focusing on quality time with your people. Go for a long walk and enjoy some sunshine, sit down and read a book together or pull out that board game your child has been begging you to play. Whatever the family enjoys together, do that! Today is for you and yours. Everything else can wait.
2. Let them be little. If your 2-year-old whips their shoes off to dig their toes into the sand I will be elated. Allow your little-ones to explore and play while we’re together. This will be an opportunity for them to show off any new skills or milestones for me to document along with a chance for their growing personalities to really shine.
3. Just enjoy the people you love most. Avoid reminding everyone to look at the camera and say cheese, trying to smooth out any wrinkles on shirts or wiping dirt off of little hands and feet. Relax and genuinely connect with your precious loved ones. I’ll handle the rest!
