Your job is easy, I promise! I only have four little tips for this section, and they're all simple tasks that will ensure you have a wonderful session!
Eat
It's a good idea for you to eat a snack or meal beforehand. Professional photos should be exciting and fun, and there's nothing quite as distracting or anxiety inducing as an empty stomach counting down the minutes to dinner time. Try to arrive full and ready to relax and enjoy yourself even if the last thing on your mind is snacking before the session!

This ties in well with eating beforehand. Hunger and exhaustion don't bode well for anyone, so rest up and bring your sunshine!

These sessions are about capturing you and the special growing bond you have with your baby (as well as interactions you share with your spouse and children if they're joining you too), so relax and focus on yourself and your baby, we'll take care of the rest!

Be Timely
We always plan to arrive 25-30 minutes before a shoot. This allows us to get to the shooting location safely without the stress of forgetting a memory card or backup battery, or rushing in fear of keeping you waiting!
I like to recommend that you plan to arrive 10-25 minutes early as well so that you all have a chance to decompress when you arrive for your shoot if you've been scurrying around preparing yourself for it. (If we're coming to your home for an in-home session, this looks more like giving yourself a chance to rest on the couch before we arrive).
Being ready and arriving a little bit early will cut back on any extra stressors for everyone involved! Additionally, I often schedule my shoots to capture the gorgeous golden light of a sunrise or sunset, so being on time ensures we get the best of it without losing out!
