What to Bring to Your Family Photo Session with Kids:

  1. Snacks and Drinks: Pack easy, non-messy snacks and water to keep the kids happy and hydrated.

  2. Favorite Toys: Bring a couple of their favorite toys to help them feel comfortable and entertained.

  3. Extra Clothing: Have an extra set of clothes for each child in case of spills or accidents.

  4. Comfort Items: If your child has a comfort item like a blanket or stuffed animal, bring it along to help soothe them.

  5. Wet Wipes and Tissues: Handy for quick clean-ups and wiping faces.

  6. Small encouraging items: Stickers or small toys can be great for encouraging cooperation.

  7. Props: Any props you might want to include in the photos, like a special family item or seasonal props.

  8. Blanket or Picnic Mat: Useful for sitting on the ground or for impromptu play breaks. Bring blankets in muted colors (neutrals, beige) to avoid bright colors reflecting on the kids' faces.

  9. Sunscreen and Bug Spray: If your session is outdoors, these can help keep everyone comfortable.

  10. Patience and Flexibility: Be ready to go with the flow and keep things light and fun.

  11. Natural Expressions: Don’t ask kids to say “cheese” or smile for the camera. We aim for natural, genuine expressions.
