Jenny is such a fabulous long term client who has been coming to see me every year since Vivian’s newborn session. It has been so much fun to watch Vivian grow each year and to also see how her wonderful parents have settled so beautifully into their roles as her mom and dad!
WHAT TO WEAR FOR A STUDIO SESSION
When clients book their session with us, we send them our easy to follow style guide that has everything you need to know about choosing what to wear. It covers suggested color and how to mix and match textures and patterns. We offer studio visits for wardrobe consultations to our clients, and can conduct these virtually as well! We are here to make the portrait session experience with us EASY and fun.
The majority of our clients choose neutral tones or soft pastels since that look stands the test of time, is the most universally flattering to skin tones, and simplifies coordinating multiple family members. Jenny chose to wear jeans and a pink sweater dressed up with a fun layered pearl necklace. She dressed Vivian in the sweetest baby blue sailor dress that brought out her blue eyes perfectly! Also…. can we talk about their beautiful curly hair?! Vivian doesn’t JUST get those from her mom - daddy has curls as well.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR SESSION
Motherhood sessions in the studio are FUN! You get to be their mom and play games that involve dancing, snuggling and tickling your little one during your time with me. We will go with the flow and your child’s mood and let things unfold naturally. We don’t have a script during sessions, because it’s impossible to predict how a young child will be. I have endless patience, think outside the box, and am super flexible to meet my littlest clients where they’re at. I believe showing children that I respect them and their preferences is what builds their trust, and is truly the “secret” to successful sessions (and to pretty much all relationships!).
You don’t need to worry about your child standing perfectly still and “cooperating” . You’ll be in motion most of our time together and I’ll be behind my camera waiting for the perfect moments to capture. Don’t be concerned about not knowing what to do either - I’ll be giving you super easy to follow action prompts if they’re needed. Honestly, the things I direct you to do are things that you do ALL the time with your child so it will flow 100% organically for you both. All you need to worry about is being present with your little one(s), and let me handle taking the photos!
If you're considering a session for yourself and your children, I would love for you to reach out to discuss your vision and learn about the amazing portrait experience that we offer our clients at our studio!
