| Timing is Everything |
 |
Schedule your filming session during your child's upbeat time of day, after naps and feedings,
so that he can enjoy the experience. |
|
Arrive 10-15 minutes before your session. Use this time to relax and enjoy our cool studio before the camera gets rolling. |
| Make it Personal |
|
Bring along necessary items to help keep your child happy and clean, including diapers, wipes, snacks, favorite toys and blankets. Bring along some personal props - costumes, hats, or toys that showcase your child's personality. |
| Mix up the Wardrobe |
|
When picking out your child's wardrobe, think bold and bright, something simple, no busy stripes or patterns. For family shoots, it's best to dress everyone in the same style, color or mood. |
|
Bring a variety of outfits with you. Casual, formal, or something to reflect your child's personality. It will help us to capture your child's true self. Since some shoots may show the child from head to toe, make sure your children wear matching shoes and socks. |
| It's All Relative |
|
Include other people in the movie with your child. Shots interacting with mom and dad will be treasured. Big sister talking to her new baby brother adds meaning and depth to a film. You will cherish these film shoots for years to come. And don't forget your pets. They're part of the family too. |
| Be Open-Minded |
|
Sometimes a frown, a wail or even a sleeping baby can make a great scene. Don't shy away from capturing a variety of expressions that capture your child's personality. |

With every film shoot is a free three month internet showcase. We will email your family and friend the web-address and they can watch your film on the web. A showcase is optional and must be requested.
