Prepare for Your Family Photos - Family Lifestyle Photographer Plymouth, MI

The first question inquiring families ask me is "what if my kids are crazy and don't cooperate during our session?" My quick answer: THAT'S OKAY.  Life isn't perfect. Your kids run around and throw tantrums from time-to-time. I'm probably going to take pictures of that. I love those photos. They are real life and the moments you'll want to remember (eventually).

During the session I am sharing below, big sister Allie loved to pick her nose. THAT'S OKAY. Big brother Emmett wasn't really interested in his baby sister and only wanted to play with his toy ball. THAT'S OKAY. Mom and dad were super relaxed and I was able to capture this family perfectly, despite a few boogers and toy balls.

Here are a few quick tips for making your family session perfect:
1. Happy kids are well-rested and have full stomachs. Let's make sure your session works around their nap schedule. If the kids are hungry, we will stop for a snack!
2. Prepare your child for the session by letting them know a friend will be taking their photos. It's best not to surprise them.
3. Relax & go with the flow. If you're relaxed, your kids will relax. Don't stress if someone is picking their nose. Laugh it off :)
