I wanted to create this guide because I know that so many of you are wanting to take better photographs of your children when you are at home.

Ask your photographer what to wear. Be prepared for all types of weather. Bring snacks. Bring toys. Ask your photographer about props. Location is everything. Arrive early. Timing is everything. Allow your children to be children. Trust your photographer.

In this digital age, I can not think of anything more important than to create memories together, in the real world. Investing in albums and prints is almost as important as taking the photographs themselves.
