This one is for the moms out there.


I know when you have 2 or 3 young kids you get nervous. How will the photos turn out? Will we get any good images? Is it worth all the chaos?


WHAT IS THE SECRET?


The answer, is relax.


No seriously. Let go of whether they have a lovie, want to run, want to be held.


Relax. Cuddle. Play. Sing. Tickle. Love.


If your kids are super rambunctious, choose a location they can explore safely.


If they are super clingy, embrace all the snuggles and the sweet images they make.


If they are hungry, well feed them before the session, but bring special snacks to make it fun.


You know they will want to play in the water? Bring a towel and change of clothes and let it happen.


LOVE is always the answer and truthfully the love your family has for each other is what you want captured anyway.


BONUS: Choose a photographer who's photos show fun, smiles, laughter, play. Be honest with your photographer about your kids stages in life and work together to make magic.
