· Midday is not a good time of the day for outdoor, so be prepared for morning or late afternoon
· Be you, be bold, express yourself
· If you are not comfortable in what you are wearing, it will show!
· Let your guard down and let me see your personalities
· Darker clothing is slimming
· Long sleeve draws attention away from the arms
· Solids work best
· Avoid stripes, busy patterns or things with logos
· Clean your nails (including the guys)
Newborn:
· The sooner the better…within the first 10 days gives those super cute poses
· Have a bottle prepared and pacifier (even if you don’t normally use one!)
· A sleepy newborn is best
· Bring any props or accessories that may be sentimental, or just too dang cute to pass
· I am prepared for lots of breaks for baby’s needs, so be patient and relax
Babies/children:
· Have a bottle or (clean) snacks handy
· Avoid nap time
· Smarties are a great bribery tool…clean and quick
· As much as you want to help get the child’s attention, it usually become more of a confusion to the child, so stay back or maybe even in another room
Maternity:
· Between 26-34 weeks is ideal
· Form fitted tops are ideal
Family:
· Worry about yourself, I will worry about the others
· Similar color tones are good, but not necessarily the same colors
· Don’t try to match exactly
· Enjoy each other
Couples:
· Be mushy gushy
· Have fun and enjoy each other
