Welcoming your Londonderry family to the studio brings us so much joy! We love seeing your family and capturing images that we know you’ll treasure forever. We also know that family photos can feel like a lot of work - especially for moms. You have to choose a photographer, the date, plan outfits, and get everyone ready and to the location. No wonder this special experience can quickly feel stressful! 

As full-service photographers in Londonderry, NH, our goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for you and your family. You deserve to be able to enjoy the session fully and actually have some fun! Our process takes care of the details for you so that once you’re on our calendar, you can breathe a sigh of relief because you know it’s handled! 

We want to share some of our best tips on things you can do to have a stress-free family photo session! 

5 Tips for Stress-Free Family Photos 

1. Communicate Your Expectations - Communication is KEY, right? So, we want you to communicate your expectations of the session with your kids… and spouse. Share why this is important for you and the family. Let them join in on planning how you want to use your portrait artwork. Ask them, “Can you just imagine our family portrait on this wall?” We also encourage you to talk up the session like it’s going to be the MOST FUN EVER. Seriously! Tell your kids how much fun it’ll be having their photos taken by your friends, Erin and Maria. The more exciting you make it seem, it will be! We promise it’ll be fun!

2. Consider a Studio Session - We highly recommend a studio session for your family photos. There are so many reasons why a studio session eliminates many common stressors. We have a guide with 10 benefits of a studio newborn session here, and many of them apply here. We don’t have to worry about weather, sunlight, walking around to a location, lighting, distractions, etc. Your beautiful family just gets to show up at the studio, and BAM, we’re ready to go! 

3. Choose Comfortable, Stylish Clothing - Alright, we know that you might have a dream of your daughters in matching dresses, but if they hate dresses, don’t force it! Choose comfortable, stylish clothing that coordinates. We love starting with mom’s outfit and choosing coordinating colors in classic styles for everyone else. We’re happy to help with this!

4. Make Sure Everyone is FULL and Happy - Try to make sure everyone is fed and rested before the session. You don’t need to go to an all-you-can-eat buffet by any means, but by ensuring everyone has a full belly, we’ll have happy campers for the session. We’ll have bottled water available at the studio for your family.

5. Trust Your Photographer! - Okay, this one is the most important. Find a photographer you can trust! Look for a professional photographer who you know can get the job and that “gets” your family. Once you feel confident and happy with your photographer, you can relax and actually enjoy the session! We’ve had clients say it was their best photo experience YET. That means everything to us!
