FAQ For EMP Family Sessions
Is it okay if my home is not perfectly decorated?
Yes!
Most homes do not look like they came straight out of a magazine! My job is to capture the joy and love that is present in your home regardless of the decor. YOU and your family are the ones I am showcasing.
Do you only do family sessions in people's homes?
Yes!
I have spend the last six years at home with my two boys 24/7. I have learned that we are our truest selves at our own home. Years from now, I want to remember the window they looked out every morning the trash truck drove by. I want to hear their squeals as they rode balance bikes in circles through the living room. I want to smell the sweet smell of cookies baking after a bag of flour exploded on the kitchen floor.
Despite all the hard and messy times, HOME is where you have built the love that holds your family together. I believe it is easiest and most authentic to capture this feeling at your home.
What happens during a session at our home?
Once I arrive, I will ask you to give me a tour of your home. I am looking for light. This is what will guide which areas we use during the session.
After that, I will guide you and direct you in a way that encourages your natural interaction between you and your kids.
Your session could look like tickle fights and snuggles on the couch. It could happen around a family piano if music is important to your family. It may include reading a story on the floor of your child's bedroom.
I capture whatever is special and important to you - the things that are building your family legacy.
What if my children are wild and crazy during the session?
Good news! I was an elementary educator prior to being a full-time mommy, so I have lots of experience with getting kids to follow directions to accomplish a task.
Also, I'm going to guess that "wild and crazy" is a part of the story of your family, anyways. Playful, energetic photos are magical, because that is true to who your kids are and how you will remember this stage of their life.
Can you only take pictures of our kids?
Sorry, but no - during a full family session.
I require participation from parents because you are a big part of the story of your family. These photos will be special to your children years from now as they remember the love they received from you growing up.
Also, I'm going to assume that you are not in many photos with your children. Please, allow me to show you the way your children see you daily. Your hugs, your smile, and your presence are so special to your kids. Let me capture that for you, and for them!
If you are interested in portraits of your children, check out the Baby Milestone or Modern Kid Portraits offerings.
