QuickTip ⭐️ Preparing for your photo session? Keep it simple! ⁠
⁠
I find solid neutrals (like white, cream, or gray) photograph beautifully, and avoiding patterns or logos keeps the focus on you and your family. ⁠
⁠
And as you know, well-fed, well-rested kids = happy kids. ⁠

Let’s make your session fun and easy! DM me with any questions.⁠
