Sibling pictures are some of my favorites. Here's a few tips to get the best sibling images:
- Prepare the older sibling prior to the session: get them excited about their pictures as a big sister/brother. Make sure they have a full meal. If the sibling still takes naps, let me know and let's schedule around their nap time.
- Bring extra small (not messy) snacks... sometimes we put the little snacks behind the little bed or beside the baby... to get the sibling right beside them.
- Bring a reward for them
- If possible, come to the studio with two cars or have a relative pick-up the sibling and take them somewhere special. Close to the studio is a Chick-Fil-A and McDonals with play areas.
I love working with children and give them a few minutes at the start of the session to get comfortable around me and the camera.
These are precious memories that you will cherish for years to come.
