Drumroll please! Tip #3 for showing up authentical

Drumroll please! Tip #3 for showing up authentically in photos is gratitude.
.
Understand this was out of your significant other’s comfort zone and genuinely thank them for hearing your heart and acting on it. Thank your children to showing up with smiles.
.
If it didn’t go well, don’t be discouraged. The camera sees moments you don’t and it’s likely more usable shots were captured than you think.
.
Plan a family activity for after. Oh, and don’t forget to treat yourself, mom!
.
For tips 1 & 2, see the last two day's posts. Tomorrow, I'll go LIVE with a few more tips so be sure to hop on or catch the replay!

Today, we continue the discussion on showing up authentically to your photo session.
.
See yesterday's post for Tip #1: Get on Board.
.
#2: Follow Through
.
All those tips? They apply to you too, Mama! Don’t forget to follow through on mindset shifts, promises and expectations.
.
Speaking of expectations, throw them out the window! Avoid having expectations for how the session should go. This only sets you up for disappointment, should a tantrum be thrown or a change of plans occur.
.
Instead, during the session, show your family love as much as possible.
.
Trust your photographer will take the reins and let go!

{AUTHENTIC FAMILY PHOTOS}
.
This week, let's talk about how to show up as your best self to family photos. Moms, I know it ALL falls on you, so each day, I'll share a tip to ease the stress of the process.
.
Tip #1: Get on Board
.
Acknowledge that family photos may not be fun for your significant other. Express to them how much you’ll cherish having something to show the kids down the road.
.
Tell them it would mean the world if they could swing their mindset to happy and calm. Promise you’ll do the same and won’t force the kids to do anything.
.
Give kids a few reminders the week of that you’re going to spend some time together. While a photographer is there, they’ll snuggle and run and play together as a family. Their job is to have fun.
.
Have you tried any of these ideas in the past? Share what you've done in the comments!

🌞
There are still some dates left for Sunset Sessions! See my stories for exact dates. DM for the link to book.
✨
Sessions include 45 minutes, 30 digital images and the option to add a Moving Portrait (1-minute mini-film). These sessions come once a year only and are at a drastically reduced rate.
✨
DM me for an extra special perk 😉

When the pandemic shutdown began, I let out a little sigh of relief. A forced break. Freedom for a bit.
.
While I'm grateful for the slowdown and how it reminded me of about the fragility of time, it's now time to refocus on the dreams I've had all along.
.
Last night and all day today (yes, a beautiful Saturday) I'm spending the day learning about building a profitable movement with @gretchen_heinen.
.
Professionals in all aspects of business are speaking to pain points one goes through when building a movement. Attendees can prevent or identify & conquer issues quicker with the knowledge.
.
Being a business owner means going all in, making sacrifices and putting in the time until it's a success. I'm grateful for this opportunity to do so!
.
What are you doing lately to lean in and go all in?

Let's all take a cue from the littles today. Kids see beauty and wonder in everything.
🌱
Children will pick you a bouquet of dandelions and present it with delight.
💐
They don't see weeds. They see bright yellow. They see happiness. They see a chance to show love.
💛
So let's all go into this weekend seeing the weeds that are bound to pop up along way through the eyes of a child. Let's see happiness and love.
✨
