Fall …
one of the best times to capture a classy family portrait
with beautiful neutral colors that fit any home decor.
Add a pop or splash of your favorite color with jeans (always appropriate
dressed up or down) or make family portrait day less casual and more special
(and follow it with a really cool dinner together somewhere)!
Four Tips To Help Prepare For A Family Session:
* Plan Your Clothing Carefully
This will make or break the look of your finished portrait.
Plan ahead and get me involved with the choices.
Seriously, I’ll be glad to come to your home and look over the options,
helping you make the best color and pattern decision between “this or that”.
You’ll be GLAD you spent time on this because
it never works out to just tell people,
“Dress up tomorrow …
wear blue …
we’re having our picture made.”
* Keep It Simple
Since we focus on faces and personality, and not just clothes,
you’ll want to choose a coordinating rather than matching
color scheme, and add punches of color with accessories.
You might consider choosing one subtle print
(in a sweater, skirt, shirt, or scarf for one person)
and pull all the other outfit colors from that print.

* Arrive Rested
Try to arrange for a session time just after (not before) regular naps or meals.
This helps immensely in avoiding meltdowns and “Hangry” (Hungry-Angry).
* Ask Dad …
Really, it’s usually Mom who does the planning, but it’s important
to get Dad involved as a cheerful helper.
It makes a HUGE difference!
When one adult is detached, disinterested, or just plain
doesn’t want to be there … the attitude spreads so quickly.
Kids LOVE to do things with a Dad eager to participate!
