As wedding and family photographers at Sugar Rush Photo + Video, we have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly in family photo-wear, and now we are here to help you get ready for some perfectly styled photos.
Plan on 1.5-2 hours for hair + makeup, and account for drive time and a potty break and someone running late, so you don't pay for wasted time that you could have spent getting magical photos done.
If you want poppy fields, book in July, tulips, book April, sand dunes, mountains, golden fields, whatever you choose, pick outfits that go with the location, and make some magic.
Even if it means shooting earlier than golden hour, make sure your tiny ones aren't tired so that happy tickling candids turn to tears because it's time to sleep.
