Family Photo Shoot Information

How to prepare for your Shoot?

  • Please make sure to arrive dressed and ready on time. My Eircode is p36rh59. 
  • It would be great if you could ensure that all the clothes worn by your family members coordinate well. Please find examples for clothing below!
  • Your session is scheduled for up to 25 minutes, please try to be on time to make the most of your session. If you're running late, it may cut into your session time.
  • The backdrop is suitable for family pictures and kids' portraits, so we'll have plenty of options for capturing beautiful memories.
  • If your little one cannot sit or if your toddler isn't cooperating as much as you'd like, you need to join them in the pictures. The backdrops aren't designed for non-sitting children, however we will still try to get them if we can.
  • Please make sure to iron your clothes before the session to ensure they look their best.
  • If your kids have any band-aids, please remove them if they're no longer needed. Also, please ensure that your children don't have any tattoos on their arms or legs, as they can be difficult to remove in post-processing.
  • If your child is wearing nail polish, please make sure it looks great or remove it.
  • Feel free to bring bribes to the photo shoot if you think they'll help, but please only mention them if necessary. The session is only 25 minutes, so they shouldn't need a bribe.
  • Please avoid using any self-tanning products, as they can stain the baby's clothes during the shoot. Unfortunately, I won't be able to edit out fake tan lines or yellow/orange skin.
  • For smaller girls, please make sure they wear something underneath their dresses and skirts to hide their nappy and underwear.
  • When it comes to hairstyles, please avoid ponytails as they can sometimes look like no hair from certain angles. Curled hair, pigtails, or leaving the hair open usually looks great in pictures.
  • Due to Covid-19 restrictions, shoes are not allowed in the studio unless they are fully clean and only put on inside the studio. Also, please avoid wearing high heels, they will not fit not the setups this year!
  • Lastly, I kindly request that you don't bring sick children to the session. Sniffly noses and a tiny cough are fine, but please refrain from bringing children with fevers or infectious diseases like chickenpox, covid, hand mouth foot and so on.
