Fall, it’s that time of year when kids are back in school, PSL season is here and it’s time to start thinking about annual family photos. I know it can sometimes be a lot from arranging the busy schedules to coordinating outfits. I have a few tips to make your family photos go just a bit smoother.

1. Timing is Key- When you have little ones it is super important to schedule your photos around nap times. Finding a time that your little one is most agreeable will make for a smoother session.

2. Incentives work- This is applicable to ALL ages. Don’t forget dads and bigger kids like a reward after the photo session. A small toy or a favorite treat or activity can be a great reminder and keep them motivated during the session. Even my kiddos know there will be something fun after family photos.

3. Relax-Once you are there let your photographer do their thing. It’s ok to help focus the kids if needed, but if you have a photographer that you trust then sit back, relax and enjoy the time together with your family
