What do I wear for my Portrait session?
Every family has a character which is made from the personality of each member, .so please wear something that you feel comfortable and confident in. I will be using a variety of different poses - so wearing something you feel comfortable walking, sitting, a lying down in is important.
How can I make my kids to smile?
Each member of the family is unique and we cannot expect the little ones to behave like the adults in front of the camera, this makes family photography challenging as you need to take the perfect picture of each family member to ensure that the overall photograph comes out perfectly. As a mother of 4 kiddos I understand how to make your little ones comfortable and bring the best out of them in front of the camera, they will be perfect :)
What is included with my package?
All sessions include high resolution Retouch Edited images via digital download, with high print Quality, with a live gallery and shareable link.
