Photography FAQ: 

Q: What should we wear for a family photo session?
A: Choose coordinating (but not matching) outfits in neutral or complementary colors. Avoid loud patterns, logos, or anything overly trendy. Soft tones and layers work well. Think timeless — you want photos you’ll love 10 years from now! And remember: comfort matters, especially for little ones.

Q: How do I help my kids get ready for a photo shoot?
A: Keep it fun and low-stress! Talk about it like a playdate or adventure. Make sure everyone is well-fed and rested beforehand. Bring snacks, a favorite toy, or something comforting if needed. Let the photographer guide the session — many are pros at working with wiggly toddlers or shy teens.

Q: What should my high school senior wear and bring for their portrait session?
A: Bring 2–3 outfits: one casual, one dressy, and one that reflects your personality (like sports gear, musical instruments, or college apparel). Keep grooming simple and natural — avoid trying new hairstyles or heavy makeup the day of. Don’t forget props or meaningful items that tell your story!

Q: How should I prepare for a newborn photography session?
A: Most newborn sessions happen within the first 5–14 days after birth. Keep the baby well-fed and warm before the session. Dress them in easy-to-remove clothing. Many photographers provide wraps, blankets, and props — but feel free to bring personal items like heirloom blankets or name signs.

Q: What time of day is best for our session?
A: For outdoor shoots, golden hour (the hour after sunrise or before sunset) offers the most flattering light. For indoor or newborn sessions, mid-morning usually works well. Your photographer can guide you based on the location, lighting, and your family’s schedule.
