Children

Try to schedule your child's photo session at a time of day when he is generally happy.  Avoid photo sessions during nap or meal times.  Especially for outdoor sessions, bring a water bottle for your child.  If you think your he will need it, bring a simple, non-messy snack.

Be aware that fingernail polish can be a big problem in portraits. Try to avoid bright or distracting colors.

Children can wear just about anything, depending on the type of picture you want. For casual pictures, boys can wear jeans or overalls, and simple dresses are always great for girls. Bare feet are also nice. For dressier pictures, boys can wear slacks with button-up shirts. Vests and ties are also appropriate.  See our Family Sessions page for clothing ideas.
