So every year, I donate a family photo session to our school fundraiser. This fun family of four was the winning bidder! We met up at Northwest Park with their sweet dog, Pearl, to explore. Thanks go to Dad for telling the “chicken juice” story to get those smiles. Also, thanks go to Mom for flossing behind me to get the boys laughing. (I really appreciate parents who don’t mind acting silly since it’s the #1 way to get kids to have more fun at their sessions).
1. How do you know Stephanie Friedman Photography?
Stephanie graciously donated a family photo session to our elementary school fundraising event! My husband and I had been meaning to book a family photo session for a while, so we bid on the item and won! We were excited to learn that Stephanie was also a parent at our school and her work looked fantastic!
2. What was your favorite part of your photo session?
My favorite part of the session was seeing my kids have fun with it. At the start, my boys were not overly excited to get dressed up and (in their words) take “fancy” photos. But, after a few minutes, they were having fun and really enjoying it! Stephanie was fantastic with our kids- she instantly put them at ease and allowed them to just be themselves. It was a great experience!
3. What advice would you give to other families planning a photo session?
I would definitely seek out Stephanie’s expertise on location and clothing/color choices. Stephanie sent me an amazing Pinterest board with ideas on how to mix colors for our photos and not be too matchy. It was super helpful. I would also suggest picking a location that works well for your group. We ended up choosing a park location. The kids were able to jump on rocks and have fun…and it worked out perfectly! Stephanie even scouted the location ahead of time to find the best rocks/areas for great photos.
