My #1 Trick to Great Photos

You’ve spent what feels like forever picking out coordinating outfits, you got everyone bathed and dressed (no easy feat!), you convinced your husband this will totally be worth the money, and well…you’re nervous it’s not going to go perfectly.

I’m going to let you in on my #1 best trick for parents. This is your ticket to great photos, so pay attention!

I want you to have fun with your kids.

Yup! That’s it. I just want you to have fun. I want you to play and laugh and let loose a little! I want you to step out of that car, take a deep breath, and forget about any stress you may have felt wrangling your children. And I want your spouse to do the same (so make sure you text them the link to this blog right now).

I absolutely have sessions with toddlers who refused to nap, babies who spit up on their new outfit, husbands who got home late from work, and 4 year olds who just aren’t sure they want to trust the lady with the camera yet. What makes ALL the difference is how you, the parent, approach the photo session. There’s nothing that kills the moment faster than a stressed out parent. Are you gonna let yourself have fun?

A mom and a dad willing to be silly and have fun with their kids turns into magic in photos! Your kids will respond to your mood, and everyone will show true joy in their smiles. So please please please, give it a try!
