FAQ
Below is a list of frequently asked questions.
What is the best time of day to schedule a family shoot?
Ideally the best time of day to shoot will always be in the evening to take advantage of the beautiful light known as golden hour! With children's schedules evening may not always be possible, working around when your child is happiest through the day is always best. Just try to avoid between 11am and 2pm as that is when the sun is at it's brightest and hottest!
What should we wear?
I send out a clothing guide to help upon booking don't worry. In short be sure to coordinate your outfits by finding a colour palette that you like and find pieces that compliment each other. Be sure to also choose clothes that are stylish yet comfy and feel free to add patterns, layers, and accessories to add more dimension to your images. Try to avoid large logos and white clothes and most importantly if you have young children be sure to grab a change of clothes in case of any accidents!
Do you direct and pose during sessions?
Please do not worry about what to do with your hands or feeling awkward in front of the camera. I got you! I will always direct you in several different poses while also using little tricks to grab those natural candid portraits! If you have small children, candid is good, getting them moving will lead to fun images.
