In The BOX Family Session Prep Information
Hi! I'm so excited for our box session together. These sessions are the most fun sessions I've ever done! Please read this information over carefully and reply with requested information in blue.******
​
Please wait until your session time to enter the studio. You will have a few minutes to dress kiddos, put on shoes, and do a final look in the mirror before we start. However, do not waste too much time getting ready at the studio, as any time used will cut into our shooting time! Be as ready as possible when you arrive.
Do your best to not make this a rushed or tense experience leading up to our session. Give yourself plenty of time to get ready. A healthy meal, with some good protein, before our session, can help as well. Avoid sugars and carbs and anything that can alter your kiddos mood for the worse. No pressure, mom...I know what you're thinking!! LOL Planning a family day after can be a fun incentive. Go to lunch/dinner/ice cream after our session while y'all are all decked out and looking fabulous!!!! Kiddos can absolutely feed off of any anxiety or stress, let's not even go there. So give lots of grace to yourself and your family before our session, and keep reminding yourself, this will be a fun experience. Your family is beautiful, and you will absolutely treasure these photos...even the outtakes, I promise.
​
More important info:
Bring a clean family!! Trim and clean finger nails. FRESH CLEAN UNWORN SOCKS, if you plan to wear them in the box!!! Make sure there are no remains of last meals on faces. And check for sleep in eyes. Feel free to bring your outfits and change at the studio to keep it clean and unwrinkled. And double check faces before we start. I will have wipes on hand if you need them.
​
No colorful snacks before the session. Think things that will stain the mouth and teeth like a blue sucker!
​
Additional editing policy! There will be additional editing fees for wrinkles, stains, or anything that is easily preventable with some thoughtful preparation. IE chipped finger nail polish, hair roots needing touch ups, stamps/marker on body, blue sucker stained teeth and lips, and crusty noses, food on face. **Please note, editing blemishes, bobos, bruises and things out of our control are always included in the session fee.
​
What to bring:
-If you are bringing any items to be used in the session, please let me know in advance.
-If you have a family member or friend who is willing to attend to help get kiddo's attention and smiles, you're more than welcome to bring them along! This is highly encouraged for families with little ones.
​
Bringing a favorite snack as incentive for little ones is fine, however, do not bring chocolate or anything colored that will stain their mouths, or drool.
​
Please respect my space by keeping little ones from exploring with their hands in the studio. Children who are not being photographed are not permitted on or near the set. Please don't allow little ones to eat and walk around the studio.
