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! This session is most likely your passion project. Let's have you feel beautiful in what you are wearing.

Styling Tip 2

Wear something you can move in! We will be running, jumping, sitting, swinging, and more. Movement always gives something a little extra to a photo.

Styling Tip 3

Start early! Nothing is more stressful than trying to plan outfits at the last minute. If you get stuck, text me with your ideas or questions.

Styling Tip 4

Don't match, COORDINATE. Start with 3 colors and then build from that. Try to avoid color blocking and don't be afraid to add prints.

Styling Tip 5

Shoes matter! If we are at the beach or in the studio, no shoes needed. Try to avoid athletic shoes or footwear that don't match the vibe of your outfit.
