ASIDE SOMEWHERE SAFE.THEN TRY THEM ON A WEEK AHEAD OF TIME TO ENSURE EVERYTHING STILL FITS COMFORTABLY AND THAT YOU DIDN’T

MISS ANY STAINS OR HOLES THAT YOU

COULDN'T SEE UNTIL THEY WERE BEING WORN.

AS SOON AS YOUR FAMILY CHANCES OUT OF THEIR PHOTO ATTIRE,MAKE SURE IT IS CLEAN AND PRESSED TO BE READY FOR THE BIG DAY.

SET THE CLOTHES TOGETHER (SORTED BY PERSON) AND PLACE THEM SOME WHERE FREE FROM HARM AND DIRT. BE SURE TO TELL

EVERYONE THAT THERE PICTURE CLOTHES AND NOT TO BE WORN UNTIL PICTURE DAY.THIS WILL HELP TO BE SURE THAT NO ARTICLES OF

CLOTHING GO MISSING. DON'T FORGET ABOUT SHOES,JEWELRY,BELTS,AND OTHER ACCESSORIES.

ABOUT THREE TO FOUR DAYS PRIOR TO THE SESSION ,START TALKING WITH YOUR HUSBAND

AND KIDS ABOUT THE SESSION AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN AND HOW THEY SHOULD BEHAVE .IF YOU PLAN TO USE A BRIBE,NOW IS A  GOOD TIME TO SET THAT IN PLACE. CONTINUE TO TALK TO

YOUR CHILDREN DAILY TO PREPARE THEM FOR

THE SESSION.

TWO DAYS PRIOR TO THE SESSION, PACK A BAG OF EVERYTHING YOU WILL NEED ON PICTURE DAY- SNACKS, PROPS, BRIBERY, ETC.AND PUT IT

SOMEWHERE YOU CAN GRAB IT . BE SURE TO INCLUDE WIPES IN CASE THINGS GET MESSY, AN EXTRA HAIRBRUSH, AND OTHER

“EMERGENCY”ITEMS, SUCH AS BOBBY PINS AND

A BACK UP LIPSTICK.

ON THE DAY OF THE SESSION ,MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS WELL FED,BUT NOT OVER FED.WE DON'T WANT SICK LITTLE TUMMIES FROM OVEREATING, BUT WE DON'T WANT ANYONE GETTING“HANCRY”(ANGRY

BECAUSE THEY ARE SO HUNGRY) EITHER. DO NOT GET YOUR FAMILY DRESSED IN THEIR PHOTOCLOTHES UNTIL AFTER THEY HAVE EATEN AND BRUSHED THElR TEETH.THIS WILL PREVENT SPILLS AND OTHER MESSY ACCIDENTS.

IF YOU HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN, AVOID ANY COLORED DRINKS THE DAY OF THE SESSION UNTIL AFTER WE ARE FINISHED. ALSO, GET THEM TO WEAR A BIB OR DROP CLOTH IF THEY DRINK ANYTHING ON THE

WAY TO THE SESSION TO SAVE THElR SHIRTS FROM WET SPOTS OR STAINS.

ONCE YOU GET TO THE SESSION,TRY TO RELAX. IF YOU HAVE SET A BRIBE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO ICAN USE THAT THROUGH OUT THE SESSION IF THE CHILDREN GET RESTLESS.TRUST YOUR PHOTOGRAPHERS

-KNOW THAT I WILL TAKE CARE OF THINGS AND WILL DELIVER AMAZING PHOTOS OF YOUR FAMILY.
