Photography is an investment. An investment in time AND money.
And when you’re investing in something, it’s important to pay attention to the details.
After almost 11 years as a family and newborn photographer, I want my clients’ sessions to be fun and run smoothly and I want you to trust me to make that happen! And I want my clients to pay attention to these seven details before their session to ensure images you’ll LOVE!

Don’t Forget: 7 Details to Pay Attention to at Your Photo Session!
- Apple watches off! Digital watches do not add anything to your photos, so remember to take them off.
- Phones out of pockets! Your phone is big and the outline it leaves in your pocket is not picture perfect. In fact, just empty out your pockets.
- Small bows for baby girls. I love a bow, but babies are little and it’s hard to see their sweet faces if they’re wearing a bow that’s too big. So, keep it dainty and small!
- Cover-up those diapers/underwear! Little girls in dresses are precious, but seeing their diapers and underwear isn’t. So, please remember those diaper covers or bike shorts under dresses!
- Ditch the shoes and socks! I know you’ve heard me say this before. I’m a BIG fan of bare feet for in-home sessions. Seeing the bottom of your feet isn’t a big deal, but seeing the soles of shoes isn’t pretty. I promise not to focus on your feet (unless your a little with cute feet!).
- Well kept nails. Well kept doesn’t mean you need a manicure and pedicure (of course you could use your session as a reason to treat yourself!). But please make sure to remove chipped nail polish before your session.
- Pull back hair that’s unruly or in someone’s eyes. I know kids’ hair can be hard to tame! But it truly make an enormous difference if you can utilize a headband, hair tie or barrette to keep hair out of eyes.
These small details make a HUGE difference in your photos. Instead of your eye going to these things, your eye will be on you, your family and the unscripted joy in your home!
