I understand that booking a family photography session can be an exciting yet nerve-wracking experience. At Tracy Lynn Photography, I’m here to ease your worries and make the process as smooth as possible. Today, I’m addressing some common concerns you might have about your upcoming Jacksonville family photography session, and I’ll sprinkle in a few extra tips to ensure your photoshoot is a breeze!

What do we do about wacky Florida weather?

Let’s face it; Florida weather can be unpredictable. The sun might be shining one moment, and the skies can open up the next. Rest assured, I’ve got you covered! I’m flexible and always keep an eye on the forecast. If Mother Nature decides to throw a curveball, we’ll reschedule your session to ensure we capture those beautiful moments in the best conditions possible. Your memories are worth the wait!

What if my kid is a wild child?

Running, jumping, and laughter are all part of childhood, right? I love capturing those authentic moments, even if your little ones have boundless energy. My relaxed and playful approach is perfect for spirited kids. Embrace their vivacity, and I’ll work my magic to turn their energy into heartwarming, candid shots. After all, those lively moments often make the best memories!

What if my child is super shy and clingy?

On the flip side, if your children are on the shy side, rest assured that I understand. I’ll create a comfortable and inviting atmosphere where your kids can feel at ease. Whether it’s through gentle conversation, a favorite toy, or simply giving them time to warm up, I’ll work patiently to capture those genuine smiles and expressions. Your child is never forced to leave your arms or do something they don’t want to do. I am confident that they will open up on their own and in their own time.

What if my husband is a grouch?

I get it – sometimes convincing your husband to cooperate during family photos can be the hardest part of the whole process. My relaxed approach helps dads feel at ease, and I’ll incorporate activities that the whole family can have fun doing. This makes the session it more of a “fun outing” than a formal photoshoot. I’ll have him smiling and laughing in no time. In the event that he still isn’t cooperating, I am more than happy to pull him aside to have a little chat. I will stress how important the family photo session is to you and all he needs to do is act like he loves his family for an hour. I have found that I even need to give my own husband a little pep talk before family photos every now and then.

What on earth do we wear for our photos?

Selecting the right outfits can be a concern for many moms. My tip? Coordinate, but don’t match. Choose a color palette that complements each other and the location, but let everyone’s personality shine through. Keep comfort in mind, especially for the little ones. I also include personalized wardrobe advice for all of my clients to ensure you look your best. In fact, this is one of my specialties! We will fully plan your wardrobe during your pre-session consultation call, and I can even do the shopping for you!

I’m so awkward in front of the camera, how will I know how to pose?

Don’t stress about posing perfectly. My style is all about capturing your family’s true essence and genuine emotions. I’ll guide you into natural, relaxed activities and poses that showcase your connection and love. The most important thing is to relax, have fun, and let your love for each other shine through.

Paying for family photos is expensive, what if I’m not happy?

Investing in professional family photography is more than just needing “a quick photo or two”; it’s about preserving your family’s legacy. The years fly by, and children grow up so fast. It’s an investment in your family’s story and a gift for future generations to cherish. I guarantee that my families are 100% satisfied with their photos and all of my printed products are guaranteed for life. If, for some reason, you aren’t happy with your photographs, I will work with you to come up with a resolution that satisfies all parties.
