01. Appearance

MAKEUP

Wear your makeup 30% darker than what you would normally wear. It will help add depth and contouring.

Tanning

I recommend you to tan at least 5 days before your session. Sunburns and spray tans in the week leading up to your session are cognizant of your sun exposure. Also keep in mind that sometimes (specially if you are self tanning), a wrong product can end up making you orange, yellow or give you discoloration and streaks.

Fixing sun burns and harsh tan lines take extensive editing and require an extra retouching fee.

Nails

Please be sure that your nails are manicured, nothing fancy though just because your hands will make their way into the photos.

02. What should I wear?

I would highly recommend Christmas Pj's but if you'd like to wear something else that's fine too. Check out my PINTEREST BOARD for some inspirational ideas.

I have made a selection with some ideas to help you coordinate your entire family.

03. Client Closet

I do offer a client closet but if you want something different feel free to come dressed in your own clothes

Check out my:

CLIENT CLOSET 1

CLIENT CLOSET 2

1.If the client is wearing outfits from the client closet please arrive 15 minutes before the session. 

2. Enter the studio. Unfortunately I won't be able to greet you right away because I will be at the greenhouse working with another client but please enter the studio once you arrive and start getting ready for your session.

3. A clothing rack will be available with the outfits chosen and a tag with your name attached to it.

4. Please bring your kids in clothes that can be easily changed this way you can easily change their clothes into the ones from the client closet. Also please keep your clothes organized so they are not on the way when the next clients arrives.

5. Once you get ready you are welcome to sit and wait for your turn.

6.Keep in mind that this will be a 1st come 1st serve. If two clients want the same outfit, the first client who claims it will be the one to wear it.

7. Due to the shortness of this session in-person styling consultations won't be available. Online styling assistance will still be available though. So if you have any questions about what to wear please don't hesitate to ask.

MAKEUP

Wear your makeup 30% darker than what you would normally wear. It will help add depth and contouring.

Tanning

I recommend you to tan at least 7 days before your session. Sunburns and spray tans in the week leading up to your session are cognizant of your sun exposure. Also keep in mind that sometimes (specially if you are self tanning), a wrong product can end up making you orange, yellow or give you discoloration and streaks.

05. Little Ones

If you would like to help make your child laugh, please stand directly behind me and not off to the side.

Avoid colorful drinks or lollipops anything that will stain their cheeks, mouths or teeth within 24 hours of your shoot.

I encourage you to NOT ‘’force’’ your kids to smile, pose or sit still for the session. Forcing them to do something they don’t want to will only make them upset and the session might end because your little one will end up crying the rest of the session.

Make sure your kids are well rested and fed at least 1 hour before the session, a well kid is a happy kid. 

Please avoid letting your kid take a nap while driving to the session. Most kids need 15-30 minutes to completely wake up from their nap and sometimes they can be a bit fussy about it. 

06. Arrival and last minute issues

Once you arrive please wait in the car or outside the studio as I will only be able to work with one family at a time.

This is probably the MOST important step to follow. 

Arrive at least 5-10 minutes earlier to give yourself plenty of time for last minute issues that may arise especially if you don't know the location or area where your session is taking place.

The client that is late arriving to the session will have the amount of time late deducted from the time allotted for the session. If the client doesn't make it in time for the session the payment won't be refunded and the session won't be rescheduled.

If you have small children, accidents sometimes might occur such as spilled milk or dirty diapers that go over their clothes, so make sure you bring an extra outfit change in your car in case something like this happens.
