TIMING:
Plan your shoot time around your child/ren’s best time of day. Make sure they are well rested but don’t stress about it too much (we all know your best laid plans can go out the window with children). If it all goes pear shaped at the shoot and we’re not happy with the results, we’re happy to reschedule.

Ensure that your child/ren are not hungry or thirsty. Take water and hats to the location shoot.

Plan a special treat for after the shoot- some call it incentive others bribery.

CLOTHES
Pick some simple, classic clothes that will let your child stand out rather than the clothes. Plain, solid colours work best (avoid logos’ character figures, anything that will date and check for stains and fit).
Keep in mind co-ordinating clothes if you have more than one child.
Jeans and white shirts can look good.
Bring a couple of changes and we can advise you on the day and you may get to use a few looks
Check on our website photos to see what you like and don’t.
If you have a favourite outfit bring it-they are your memories we are perserving.


Apply sun block well in advance to ensure it is absorbed and your child doesn’t look greasy.

Have your children’s hair the way you like it best but keep in mind for the location shoots pinning the hair off the face on a windy day maybe preferable for little girls.

Don’t forget yourself- get involved and have some yourself with your children- they will love them. So make sure you're happy with your own clothes and make up. Keep it simple is better).

Give yourself plenty of time to get there. Don’t stress. Enjoy the experience and have fun (it will show in the images).
