Getting Ready Checklist 〰️
As a client, fully preparing for your family session is the best way to ensure a final gallery that you will love! Your photographer is behind the scenes making sure the location, lighting choices, and flow of the session will product incredible results. Your prep is the final piece of the puzzle!
Something my clients have really appreciated recently is my Getting Ready Guide. It’s a more expansive set of instructions on outfit considerations and other preparation that adds details to planning you may not have considered. This is a to-do list for the 24 hours leading up to your session.
