PDX Candid Family Photographer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Okay, first of all, I know that getting your photo taken can be stressful. Then you add your kids into the mix and you’re ready for chaos, am I right? I’ve been there and I get it. But there are things you can do to make your experience go smoother and I’m about to tell you all my tips! This PDX photographer knows all about how to get the best, candid and happy shots of your family that you will treasure forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip 1: Don’t Stress About Your Kids’ Behavior<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So many times (almost every time, actually) parents will say to me that they were sure I got nothing good because their kids were crazy, and then when they get their gallery they have the hardest time choosing their favorites because they love them all. The thing is, all I need is a split second where your kids are doing something cute. The rest of the time they may be making fart noises and sticking their tongue out, but when they laugh BECAUSE of their silly behavior, that’s when I capture their true personality. No one expects them to be perfect! I actually wrote an entire blog post about why I don’t want your kids to “be good”<\/a> during your session. Read it, it’s a good one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip 2: Be Prepared<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you’re prepared for things, you feel more relaxed. I will help you with location and outfit selection, so be sure not to leave that to the last minute. And if shopping is not your thing or you just don’t have time, ask me to show you what clothing I have available to borrow from my client closet! I’ll bring everything ironed or steamed and ready to be worn, along with my pop-up changing tent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
