What are the most important factors when preparing for family photos? Is it what you wear? Location and time of day? Bribing the kids with toys and sugar?

Some of my favorite photos have come from unlikely locations. You don’t need a large space for beautiful photos. It’s all about texture, color, and layers.

One question I hear a lot is, “What’s the best time of day for photos?” This is a great question and one that has a few different components.

Cheese isn’t in my vocabulary. Don’t get me wrong—I’m a sucker for a slice of brie on some crusty bread. But when it comes to getting kids to smile, dump the dairy!

Tips and tricks to make the most of your photoshoot. What to wear, how to help your kids have a good time, and what to expect.

One of the most common things I hear when a parent schedules a photoshoot is “I’ve been putting this off for so long because I know my kids will hate it and they never listen.” It always makes me chuckle because I get it. I’m a mom and I’ve been there many times.
