BEFORE YOUR SESSION 🎄
A little preparation goes a long way! Here are a few tips to help your children feel comfortable and ready for some Christmas fun.
😴 Well-Rested Kids
Try to stick to your child's usual bedtime routine the night before and make sure they get enough sleep. If your little one still naps, plan around their regular nap time as much as possible. Happy, rested kids make a big difference!
🍎 Full Tummies, Happy Kids
Please make sure your children have eaten before arriving. Feel free to bring a few small, mess-free snacks just in case they need a little pick-me-up. Try to avoid anything sticky or colourful that could stain their faces or outfits.
⏰ Arrive a Little Early
Please aim to arrive 5–10 minutes before your scheduled session to allow time for parking and getting settled.
Our mini sessions are booked back-to-back, so arriving late will unfortunately mean less photography time.
🍬 A Little Motivation Helps!
Sometimes a small treat or reward can work wonders, especially for younger children!
Feel free to bring a few small treats, stickers or a favourite little toy to encourage your child along the way. Small rewards between sets often work better than promising something much later.
📸 Let Us Get Their Attention
My assistant and I have plenty of tricks to get those smiles and giggles! During the session, try to let us be the ones calling your children's names so they're looking towards the camera rather than at you.
Of course, we'll let you know if we need a little help!
❤️ Keep It Fun and Relaxed
We know kids will be kids! Some may be shy at first, while others will be full of energy. If your little one isn't cooperating, try not to worry or put too much pressure on them.
Give us a chance to connect with your child and work our magic. Sometimes the best photos happen when they're simply having fun!
✨ Enjoy the Moment!
Not every photo needs a perfect smile or everyone looking straight at the camera. We love capturing natural expressions, laughter and those sweet little moments in between.
Most importantly, relax, have fun and let us take care of the rest!
