We are experts at getting all of your little ducks in a row and smiling wide for a beautiful photoshoot.

THE DAYS OF MATCHY-MATCHY OUTFITS ARE OVER! HOW TO COLOR CO-ORDINATE TO CREATE A FLOWING PICTURE

Once upon a time it was common practice to tote the kids out in the exact same outfit for a family shoot, but here at Photography by Jodi Lynn, we find that donning clothes in the same color family, or complimenting opposites is the best way to go. This family played with light bright colors like blue and white complimented by a fall-friendly crimson and sweet pink. There are so many different options and combinations when choosing clothes for your session.

Here comes the sun, indeed! We had the absolute pleasure of photographing an actual bit of sunshine with baby A and the experience was beautiful! One of our favorite things to do here at Photography by Jodi Lynn is celebrate families and capture the little things that make it all worth it. This couple brought in their sweet baby girl for their newborn session and she effortlessly stole the show. It was immediately clear that this baby girl is the apple of her parents’ eye, and for good reason. Her soft little signs and pink cheeks warmed our hearts. She was a joy to shoot, and watching the interaction between mom and dad was touching. It is so important to capture all of these little moments, because before they know it, she will be up zooming around when they come back for their one-year cake smash in our Scottsdale photography studio, it will be hard to get her to settle down!

SCHEDULE YOUR NEWBORN SHOOT WITH ENOUGH TIME FOR PEACE OF MIND

We recommend bringing in your beautiful baby between 3 and 10 days, so schedule quickly! We suggest arranging a shoot 1 to 2 months in advance, and we will even add a backup date to the calendar if your baby arrives fashionably late or unexpectedly early. For these sessions we encourage you to choose outfits and accessories that match your nursery, or personalities. Natural settings, patterns and light are essential in creating an image and experience that will withstand the test of time and be just as darling in twenty years as the day it was taken. This sweet girl wore a onesie from Sew Trendy and was posed in a custom bowl from Mr. and Mrs. And Co. If bringing your own props and outfits is too overwhelming, don’t worry! We love picking onesies and props, we always have a ton of fun!

What better way to capture your family’s close bond than going to the farm! This beautiful family of three had such an amazing time out on this East Valley farm location. The bonds that are captured throughout this session melted our hearts, between watching the farm animals and swinging with mom, we are in love with this lifestyle family session. With a lush grassy lawn, our Gilbert farm location allowed this family’s sweet baby girl to explore and let her fun, little personality shine. A rustic tree swing and darling farm animals complete this peaceful location and sure to be one your favorites for years to come.

In this session we had the pleasure of capturing a video of the time we spent with the H family. This video truly shows the special bond between this family of three.

Creating lasting memories through styled family photo shoots: Why outfits are important for the look of your session

Styling your photography session is so important, from the long flowy dress from ShowPo, to baby’s romper from Zara and little poppy co. bow and Dad’s casual but more neutral outfit. All of these elements make the photos really stand out in the natural elements of the farm location. When thinking about your outfits, we like to have them compliment each other but they don’t need to be matchy-matchy. A nice pop of color, alongside a floral print always makes for a cohesive look. We also highly recommend getting hair and makeup done, for the look at this session mom opted for a whimsical braid paired with a natural look on her makeup by Seventh Ave Beauty. We can add-on hair and makeup to your session.
