Having wipes and tissues on hand

will help you keep everyone looking clean and picture ready!

Are you getting ready for a fun family photo session? It's an exciting time to capture some beautiful memories with your loved ones. However, in all the excitement, it's easy to forget a few essential items. Let's talk about things that families commonly forget to bring for their family sessions.

Snacks and Drinks:

Kids (and adults) can get hungry and thirsty during a photo session. Bringing some snacks and water bottles can keep everyone energized and happy. Try keeping it to small, dry snacks, like fruit snacks or goldfish crackers that kids can eat in between pictures and won’t stain or dirty their clothing. It's a simple way to avoid those grumbling tummies. 

Comfortable Shoes:

If your photo session involves walking or standing for a while, make sure to wear comfortable shoes. High heels might look great, but they can be uncomfortable after a while.

Extra Shoes:

And if you do have heels or wedges and are going to be outdoors, bring an extra pair of comfy walking around shoes to keep you safe and happy.

Toys & Lovies:

If your kids have special toys that they love, bring them along. It can help keep them engaged and happy during the session. It’s these little details that represent who they are at this time in their lives and will become sweet memories of this time in their lives when they are older. 

Wipes and Tissues:

Kids can get messy, and a simple spill or a runny nose can happen at any moment. Having wipes and tissues on hand will help you keep everyone looking clean and picture ready! 

Bug Spray and Sunscreen:

Depending on where and when your session takes place, you might need bug spray to keep those pesky insects away and sunscreen to protect everyone's skin from the sun.

Hairbrush and Hair Accessories:

You want your family to look their best, right? Don't forget to bring a hairbrush, bobby pins and any necessary hair accessories to fix stray hairs or style your hair if needed. Afternoons in Hollister can get especially windy, so depending on how you like to be styled, having extra hair things can keep your hair exactly where you want it to be. 

Facial Tissues and Hand Sanitizer:

Just like wipes and tissues, having facial tissues and hand sanitizer can be a lifesaver, especially if you're in a location where it's hard to find a restroom.

Positive Attitude:

This might not be something you can physically bring, but it's one of the most important things. A positive attitude and lots of smiles can make your family photos even more beautiful. Remember, it's a fun experience to cherish!

So, there you have it – a simple list of things families often forget for their family photo sessions. By remembering these essentials, you can ensure that your photo session goes smoothly and that you and your family have the best and relaxed family portrait session.
