2. Make Sure Everyone have been served with Food before the Photo-shoot
Complaining of hunger pangs is a huge turnoff in photo shoots. This is common, especially in kids. We always advise parents to feed them well before the actual shoot to avoid distractions. You can give them light snacks to keep them active during the process. Going for the shoot just after breakfast or lunch is a great idea.

3. Schedule Preparation Time Before the Shoot
It's always advisable to shoot when ready. This means that you have to give your family enough to prepare. Let everyone get ready, shower, get dressed, and groom for the occasion. Preparation sets the pace for the photo shoot and prevents possible disorganization.

4. Make Fun
The best shots are captured when people have fun, with smiles on their faces. It's good to set a cheerful mood, and the whole event will be a success. There are many ways of having fun such as cracking jokes, snuggling, kissing, and playing. A combination of these activities helps the photographer to capture the perfect family moments.
