After setting a date, we will go over all the details of the session and we will cover all questions you may have. Whatever your needs are, we’ll be sure to encompass the perfect plan just for you! Be sure to share your vision with me and to create an inspiration pin board at Pinterest.
Q – Where are the sessions held?
Portrait sessions are held in a location of your choice. The location can give a meaning to your photos, so we can consider your home, a favorite park, beach or even a street or a coffee shop that you like. Any activity you do as a family could be an inspiration.
The background adds a lot of color, texture, lines and light but you will be the focus of the image. I enjoy taking advantage of the natural light and beautiful outdoor settings around Bay Area has to offer. I'm happy to offer variety of suggestions, depending on the kind of feel you are looking for.
Q - What time of the day is best for our family photo session?
The best time of day to shoot outdoors is mornings or afternoon when the light is softer and more diffused. Wa want to avoid when the sun is high in the sky and it creates harsh shadows. Another important factor to consider is how your children are at different times of the day, we don't want to schedule your session during or too close to nap time.
Q - How to prepare the kids for the session?
At this session you will not be asked to pose or look and smile at the camera. Insted, we are going to play a few games and I'm going to be asking all of you some really fun questions. My goal is to try and get you to forget about the camera and just enjoy each other, Just being who you are is exactly what is needed. So have fun with it and I promise that we will create unique and authentic photos that you will love.
You are welcome to bring any items that are meaningful to your child (like a stuffed animal or a blanket) and a snack he/she enjoys.
Q - What to wear?
Clothing is a perfect opportunity to express your style and personality.
The most important thing when selecting your outfits for photo session is that you feel comfortable.
To coordinate your clothes for family session without matching you can choose neutral tones and a few colorful brights, or you can pick softer tones that have different tonal range. Subtle patterns can be great on girls and women's pieces if coordinated with simple color choices for the rest so they don't clash. Accessories like scarves, hats, jewelry, sweaters, jackets can show your unique personality and greatly compliment you. A fun or bold choice in shoes can also add color and personality.

You can use and print your digital images for personal use, anywhere you like.
