Once we've decided what session is best for you, plus chosen a suitable date and time, we'll send you information on how to prepare for your shoot and develop an understanding of what you want most from your session. This will include what to wear and bring, along with how the actual shoot will unfold.
Some kids (and adults for that matter) take longer to warm up, while others burn brightly first off, then need a little breather. Both kinds of tempos can make great opportunities for photos. It's important for the parents to feel relaxed and playful. In Justine's experience young children will enjoy all the interaction you are able to give them. They'll let you know if they want to explore on their own. Older children sometimes are more comfortable without their parents hovering about them. If we are in the studio, it's divided into two sides, so everyone has space. If we are outdoors, it's easy to hang back and observe, or jump in when the moment is right. Newborns have their own agenda too. She'll work with you to make the best images and moments within the natural flow of being a new parent.
