TIPS FOR MAKING A PHOTO SESSION WITH KIDS EASIER
No.1 - What time is good for them??
Schedule your photo session at a time the kids are generally in good form. If it would normally be their nap time / lunch time don’t change their schedule to squeeze in with us; grumpy kids won’t want fussed over! If you have booked in at a time and their routine changes it’s not an issue don’t stress, just let us know and we will try our best to work something out. We want everyone to have an enjoyable experience!
No.2 - Snacks
Who wouldn’t want the chance to get some of their favourite snacks?! They are a great way to keep kids happy and content. Avoid messy foods like chocolate, crumbly crisps or orange vegestix - got to keep those gorgeous outfits clean. Mini marshmallows are always a great shout!
No.3 - Change at the studio
We know you have probably spent weeks choosing the perfect outfits for your little ones. So the last thing we want is for something to happen to it on the way to the studio (explosive nappies or car sickness happens when you least expect it). Just bring the kids is their normal clothes and there is plenty of time for them to get changed into their outfits at the studio.
No.4 - Tell us about them!
We send out some information gathering forms to help us prepare for your photo session in advance. Fill it out as accurately as possible and we will use this info to make the kids more at ease. What are their favourite songs and we can play them on Alexa in the studio. Do they love princesses or superheroes? Let us know what they like and we will make their time in the studio fun for them!
No.5 - Reschedule if you need to
If your little one is teething or you think they are coming down with something please contact us and we will reschedule the session. The last thing we want is your kids to be unhappy or uncomfortable in the studio and we want to be able to capture the best family photos we can for you. We are parents too so know what its like when our kids aren’t feeling their best!
No.6 - DON’T STRESS
Kids pick up on your mood! We have had to actually put parents in the naughty corner during a session and the child found this hilarious (the photos were fantastic). Don’t stress about your child ‘misbehaving’ we love children with a bit of character. Don’t forget too that most wee ones have seen very few people because of the pandemic, so coming into a new space with new people may mean it takes a little while for them to come round. If all else fails Caroline is a bit of a magician with Photoshop and she can do head/ body swap edits to make sure you get some great photos!
