Outdoor Family Photo Idea; Two year old birthday boy photoshoot in your family session!

So, picture this – I often have families who decide to blend their little one's milestone birthdays with a family session. It's such a fantastic concept! It's not just about celebrating the child's birthday but also acknowledging the incredible parents who brought them into the world. Now, let me spill the beans on an amazing idea; Hunter's two year old birthday boy photoshoot! It's a fantastic outdoor family photo idea. Buckle up as I take you behind the scenes of what goes down during one of my untimed sessions!

Step 1 - Check it out; spark up a fantastic outdoor family photo idea

Let's rewind and explore how this brilliant idea came to life. When Lisa reached out for an outdoor family photo idea, I kicked things off with a quick questionnaire. It's packed with questions that give me insights into their preferences, from epic redwoods to sweeping landscapes. I delve into details like preferred outfits and consider factors like nap schedules and location. Plus, I throw in a request for a family photo or a quick video. The photo or video you send me, not only gives me insight on how I can build your Pinterest board, but it also gives me a glimpse of personalities. Honest and thoughtful answers set the stage for understanding their vision, creating a Pinterest board, and curating the perfect wardrobe.

Step 2 - Book it

Once I have all the answers, we move on to basic logistics. Lisa's questionnaire highlighted a few key points. She adores my candid photography style, she preferred a local location, and mentioned her little one turning two. I proposed Ulistac Natural Preserves, in Santa Clara, considering its local charm and ample space for the toddler to explore. We even brainstormed bringing a prop indicating his age for some adorable candid shots. If the idea clicks, it's time to book and secure a date!

Step 3 - Plan

With an untimed session, I reserve half a day just for you. Life happens, nap times shift (hello sleep regression!) and the sun keeps doing its...thing. For Lisa's session, we penciled in a flexible time between 3-4 pm, and I got right on her Pinterest board. Jeans were her confidence boost, and inspired by her family photo, I envisioned sweaters and jeans. I tossed the creative baton to Lisa, and she sent over outfit choices, seeking opinions. Fun fact: I actually have a degree in fashion design, so I know my stuff when it comes to wardrobe advice.

Photoshoot day

As the photoshoot date approaches, we have times and outfits nailed down. After that, you just show up with your fabulous self. Lisa's session was a breeze and downright enjoyable – they even whispered to each other, "This was actually the easiest photoshoot!" 📸✨

Have a birthday coming up! Let's plan family untimed session!
