your Session mindset & tips

---

Your energy sets the tone for your session — and relaxed, positive vibes always translate beautifully in images.

• Leave stress at home.
• Enjoy the moment — don’t get frustrated or upset.
• Focus on your family and the time together.
• Let go of perfection — the real, unscripted moments are what matter most.
• Avoid bossiness or tension — calm, playful energy creates the best photos.

When you show up with a joyful, easygoing attitude, everyone around you relaxes too, and your connection shines through every image..

Remember: Awkwardness may show in body language, but love always shines through in your gallery

Arrive a Little Early
Give yourself time to settle in, fix hair, tuck in shirts, and take a deep breath before we start.

Leave Pockets Empty
Phones, keys, and wallets can show up in photos — it’s best to remove them beforehand.

Bring Small Essentials
A lint roller, wipes for kids, a hair tie, or a touch-up lipstick can be helpful during the session.  

Trust the Process
The most beautiful images come from movement, connection, and authentic moments — not from perfect posing.

POSING & COMFORT  

You never have to worry about what to do — I’ll walk you through everything.

Posing with Ease

• I’ll guide you gently rather than asking for stiff poses.
• Expect prompts, movement, and direction that feel natural and comfortable.
• The best images come from interaction, not perfection.

Connection Over Perfection

• Hold hands.
• Play with the kids.
• Whisper something sweet or silly.
• Pull each other in close.
• Laugh.
• Breathe.
• Be yourselves.

Weather Expectations:

Weather can change quickly, but flexibility allows us to create beautiful results.

Cloudy Day

PERFECTION — clouds act like a giant softbox and the light is beautiful.

Windy

Movement adds emotion and life to your photos.

Rain

If it’s light and safe, we may adjust timing or location. If needed, we’ll reschedule — no stress.

Hot or Cold

Dress accordingly, bring layers, and stay hydrated.

My goal is to keep you comfortable and confident no matter what the forecast brings
