WHAT TO WEAR AT YOUR SHOOT
It might sound silly but choosing what to wear is an important component to providing superior results to your images. When preparing for your shoot consider the tips below:
Coordinating colours, select a couple of colours and choose clothes that will fit in this color scheme. If your stuck for ideas google "what to wear for a photoshoot" there are many sites that will show ideas and get you thinking.
Limit patterns and steer away from motives, Dora the Explorer and Thomas the Tank Engine, while your little ones love them, they can be quite distracting in the final presentation of the images, try to go with block colours if you can.
Accessories, Think about accessories, like scarves, belts and hats to add more to the images.
Think classic, These photos will be hanging on your walls and treasured for years to come. Think simple, classic clothes to give your images a timeless feel. ie. jeans with coordinating tops etc.
Plan ahead, Once your session is booked, start thinking of the clothes right away. You may think certain clothes will fit your children or that one dress is clean. If you wait until the day of or day before you may run into an issue of clothes not fitting, being dirty.
Lastly and most importantly, while considering the tips above, you still need to be comfortable in what your wearing, so be yourself.
WHAT TO EXPECT
After your initial enquiry, I like to meet with my clients and their families, this allows me to gather information such as children's ages and names and get an understanding of what style of shoot you would like to do. We will discuss locations, dates and times.
On the day, I will be at the confirmed location ahead of time to set up, so on your arrival we can start the fun stuff. It usually takes a little time for everyone to feel comfortable in front of the lens and with young children it can sometimes prove challenging to hold their attention, so we may need to play a game or do something silly to regain their attention.
I try to make it a short fun time for everyone, so sometimes a little patience goes a long way.
Remember if you have any queries or concerns, please just ask, there are no silly questions.
