Helping Children Co-operate
We understand younger children in particular can become easily exhausted, nervous, bored or even irritated, as they are still learning to regulate their emotions.
We will guide the session to create trust between us and the children. After all they are in a strange environment with big lights and a camera, experiencing something new.
Taking our time in the beginning is sometimes key, as when the child becomes distressed it can be hard to recover. We allow some time for the child to play in our play corner, have a snack, watch their favourite show, and get to know our space!
We will work with any suggestions you have also as you know them best!
How Long Will Our Session Go For?
We allocate 1 hour, but if we need more time, we don't mind providing we don't have any more sessions proceeding.
We find indoors this is more than enough time, with 1-2 backdrop set ups!
How should we dress for our family session?
We kindly ask that you provide clothing for all children above six months of age. Clothing items are limited past this age, it's always good to bring a back up too in case you prefer your clothing, over ours!
We suggest choosing three colours, preferable neutral, or soft avoiding bold prints or logos. You can also try matching the colours with the season, or décor in your home! try not to choose more than three colours as a rule of thumb.
Can We Have Multiple Family Members Join?
Sessions include up to 6 family members, and additional family members may incur a fee.
