FAQ FRIDAY #1


?

 ‘I have so many clothes and nothing that matches my family’s wardrobe, how are we going to look good if we have nothing that compliments each other?’


Fear not my friend!  We have the answer (and no it doesn’t always involve going out and spending more money right away).  Sometimes what you think may not compliment each other we see something different.  That is why part of the service of hiring us as your family portrait photographer means we help style you!  YES!  We will take all the guess work out of styling your family portrait session right from the start.  Thats right you leave it to us!  We will make sure the props (if any), location, and wardrobe all come together seamlessly to create that one of a kind experience!

(Check out our favourite spring and summer colour pallets here for inspiration)


How does it work?

Its easy!  During our pre-session styling consult you take us on a virtual like tour of your wardrobe via FaceTime or Zoom and we help tailor your family’s wardrobe precisely to fit your personalized portrait session.


 

One more thing…

Ladies, I have one more thing to pamper you with!  Take the guess work out of your hair and makeup!  Why?  Because we’re including Hair & Makeup in all our sessions for one individual going forward!  (Its the least we can do to show how much we love our clients and we personally believe we work with the best HAMU Artists in the city!)

HOW TO BE OKAY IF YOUR BABY WONT STOP CRYING ON PICTURE DAY


 

We’ve all seen those adorable photos of new little babies looking so peaceful and relaxedandnot a care in the world. As new parents, we want similar photos of our children to send out to grandparents, make into screensavers, and blast out to our social media pages to show off our amazing baby. But then session day comes around and BAM!– your baby does not want anything to do with it.

You’re thinking, “Why won’t you stop crying? I’ve literally done everything I can think of, but you’re still not happy.  Don’t you know I’m paying good money for this session?  Sarah’s baby cooperated in her session, why can’t you just go to sleep and let us get some nice photos?!”  If this is happening during your session, I want you to stop,breathe and remember one thing: all newborns cry.  This is a natural, real emotion that all newborns have for most of their first few months of life. It’s not abnormal. There is nothing wrong with your child for doing it. It is nothing to be ashamed of.  They aren’t doing it to embarrass you.  And when you stress out about the fact that your baby iscrying, that then makes things even worse because he or she knowsyou’re upset.

Don’t let the crying upset you.  Embrace this moment in time. It won’t be long before you forget how her little forehead wrinkled up whenever shescreamed, or how histoes would get all stretched out and tense when he was upset.  Let us capture these little details.  These crying photos can evoke real emotion and demonstrate the love you have for your child as you try to soothe him or her.  Your child can look back at these photos once they’re all grown and remember the solace that they found in your arms.  These tender moments are just as important, if not more so, than the sleeping, posed photos.

The point of booking a newborn session is to help you preserve the first memories of your child’s life.  While posed photos are cute, you’re not going to look back and think, “Remember how cute she was whenever she would lounge around the house in frog-form?” because that didn’t happen. You’ll look back at these photos and remember all the nights you walked your baby around the house or rocked him in a chair and hummed lullabies to try to calm him down. Those times are very stressful, but they also help you form a bond and that’s what makes these photos treasured.


All that being said, if you have your heart set on those peaceful, posed photos, we can always take a break and try again and,if all else fails, reschedule.
