Hello!

I am beyond excited that you have selected me to photograph your family. THANK YOU for trusting me with you family memories.

I want your photography session to be stress-free, and I want you to reflect on your experience with nothing but good vibes. So I have made this guide to help you prepare for what to expect.

Be sure to share this guide with everyone participating in your session, especially your spouse!

Cheers! Emily

The Experience...

Not everyone feels natural in front of the camera, and that is OKAY!

This is were my years of experience comes in handy. My best advice, just relax and take our hour together as an opportunity to unplug and be 100 percent present with the people you love the most.

You only job is to love on each other, so be ready to get CLOSE.

Don’t worry, if you get stuck, I will prompt you. But don’t be afraid to move and play and let me worry about the rest!

Outfits Matter....

Styling Tip 1

Start with mom! You just had a baby, let's have you feel beautiful in what you are wearing. No need to shop I have a rack of beautiful gowns just for you.

Styling Tip 2

Wear something you can sit in! I find the most flattering angles postpartum are done sitting. So pick something you can easily get up and down in.

Styling Tip 3

Don't stress, most likely I have something for everyone in your family in my client closet. Including siblings. If you plan on using my wardrobe for everyone, just let me know so I can make sure I have all the sizes covered.

Styling Tip 4

Stick to neutrals and muted earthy tones. This works best with my studio backdrop and editing style.

Styling Tip 5

No Shoes needed! We are creating a super intimate & comfy vibe. So leave you shoes at the door.

My Biggest Piece of Advice...

Siblings are going through a transition….just roll with it!
Set the tone for them, they will follow your lead. So relax, be in the moment, and have fun.
Make sure everyone has full bellies, being hangry is a real thing. Don’t worry I have tons of snacks for all the toddlers hunger pains.
Don’t look at the camera- look at the people you love.
Movement is key to a good photograph. Don’t be afraid to touch them, kiss, or sway!
If you don’t know what to do, don’t worry I will help you.
Smile, smile, smile….keep smiling no matter what!
Be prepared for the warmth, I have a giant light that gives off a ton of heat…the babies love that! (not so much dads).
Share with everyone in your family, especially Dad!
Get ready to get close & have fun

What to Bring...

A pacifier– even if your baby doesn’t use one, sometimes it is the perfect distraction to help them settle into a pose. We won’t use it long enough to create nipple confusion. NEUTRAL colors only if possible!
Extra milk– many babies are going through a growth spurt around the 7-14 day time frame. Having some on hand can help make those bellies extra full.
Change of clothes– important for everyone involved. Pee, poop, spit up happens!
