If you're feeling a little nervous or uncertain about what to expect, don't worry! I've worked with many families who are taking professional photos for the first time, and I'm here to share some tips and advice that will help you prepare and get the most out of your experience.

How we prepare our kids for family photos is also a lot about how we prepare ourselves. Yes, I said it. It is about us, the parents. Parents who want their family photo experience to go smoothly and their gallery to be beautiful, and their kids to "behave" in a way that accomplishes that goal. Hopefully this blog will help give you a few ideas of how parents can prepare for your kids and yourself for family photos! 

I have put together a quick step by step guide on the process of booking a session with Alec. From choosing what type of photo shoot you want, reaching out to schedule and picking an outfit for your shoot.

The number one thing to remember through this entire process, is that I GOT YOU. I am here to support you through any stresses, help you with any color or outfit choices  or questions along the way.

YOU and your family are the STARS of the show. Your children won't notice what you wore, only that you were THERE together. Family photographs are for you, for your children, and for their children. Most of my clients never post the photographs we create together to online forums. They don't need to. These images are for YOU and you alone.

Have you ever considered having your family photographs taken in the comfort of your own home? The outdoor spaces are stunning and beautiful in the Pacific Northwest, and I absolutely love taking my clients to the most beautiful locations for our lifestyle family photoshoots... However, let me try to convince you of the beautiful magic that can happen with an In-Home family or newborn session!

Discover the magic of including your furry friends in your family photo sessions! In this blog post, we'll explore why dogs and cats make a paw-sitive impact on your photos. From their playful energy to their undeniable charm, you'll learn how involving your pets can create unforgettable memories. So, grab your four-legged family members and get ready to capture those cherished moments that truly reflect the love and joy they bring to your family.
