DAYS LEADING UP TO THE SESSION
Days before the session, let your toddler(s) know we'll be taking family pictures soon! Make it sound like a fun adventure. Talk about it with excitement. Show them pictures from previous sessions and practice those big, happy smiles together.
BEFORE THE SESSION
1. Have littles well-rested before the session.
2. A light meal before the session is recommended so no one is hangry.
3. Plan to arrive 1 hour early so you have enough time to find parking and get to our meeting spot.
4. Please be dressed and ready at the start of your session time.
5. I will text and share my exact location on the day of.
6. If you are late, your session will be cut short and fewer images will be delivered. We won’t be able to reschedule if you completely miss your session.
DURING THE SESSION
Be present with your family!
Savor this moment together. Snuggle close and love on your family! Gently play and make memories with your family! I’ll guide you with posing and give prompts to encourage family connection and togetherness.
Stay positive + encouraging !
If you have young children, don’t get frustrated when they’re not listening well. It’s totally okay! This gives your photos an organic feel & authentic memories of your family dynamic. Toddlers will be toddlers! We’ll redirect and give them breaks if needed.
Mix of poses + candid moments
We'll aim to capture a variety of shots: traditional group poses, parent-child moments, siblings playing together and more. Sometimes the most magical images happen in between the posed shots so just be yourselves and have fun!
AFTER THE SESSION
Enjoy the rest of the fall activities at the orchard.
Your photos will be ready within three weeks. I will send a private link to view the gallery!
Share your beautiful photos with family and friends! If you post on Instagram, it would mean so much if you can tag me @julietranphotography!
