INFANT PORTRAIT TIPS: Infants should be well fed just before the session begins. With newborn infants it may be best if they are sleepy. Portraits of sleeping babies are often ones that we treasure the most. You know your infant better than anyone else, so it is good to try to schedule the session at a time when your infant is the most cooperative. Most infants photograph extremely well when clothed just in a diaper. If the infant is especially young, then we suggest that you bring a blanket to wrap the infant in in-between shots to keep them warm. If you want shots of the infant clothed, we suggest very simple clothing that is solid in color. Light but not white colors usually look the most pleasing in a portrait. Simple creams, tans, and off whites are good choices. A small and favorite toy is also suggested. We may include it in the portrait or just use it to get the babies attention.
CHILDRENS PORTRAIT TIPS: Children, like infants, should be well fed. Clothing choices should be simple, solid colored clothes. Avoid bold and bright colors and clothing with patterns. It would be a great idea to bring a small supply of your child's favorite snack. Having your picture taken by a stranger can often be stressful for a child and the snacks can sometimes help remove some of that stress and can be used to encourage cooperation. As hard as it is, the parent should be prepared to step back from the shoot and let the photographer and the child interact. If the photographer needs or wants the parents' assistance, they will ask. Often a child is more likely to be compliant to wishes of the photographer than the parent. This is not always the case, but is something to keep in mind. Again, bring along a favorite toy, something small and portable.
FAMILY PORTRAITS TIPS: All family members should dress in similar tones. They don't have to be the exact same color, but they should have the same tonal value - same brightness and contrast. Try not to have some in dark colors and others in light colors. This will take away from the effectiveness of the image. This is supposed to be a family portrait, not a picture of your clothes.
