Hey there! Mel here, photographer, wife, coffee lover and mama to two.
Here's what I can promise you: an awesome experience from the time you reach out to me to the time you receive your photos. The only thing I care about is you being a raving fan!
but what if my kids are a bit wild
i hope they are.
-
I will take time at the beginning to build rapport with your children before taking photos. They usually enjoy the experience more when it's 'their friend' taking the pictures!
-
Sibling and family photos happen right at the start because kids may lose interest in taking photos quickly! Toddler attention spans are about as big as they are.
-
Have no major expectations for toddlers and never force them into doing anything they aren't comfortable with.
-
Prepare your kiddo(s) for your photo shoot by telling them that a friend is coming to visit and take some portraits of your family.
-
Pro-tip for toddlers: share my social media with them. If they know my face they are more likely to warm up faster than if they didn't know me at all!
-
It's not beneath me to bribe children with stickers. They love stickers, right?
