Family Photo Tips
Keep in mind for family photos it’s very important to let everyone know when they need to be ready to take these photos so that you’re not looking for family that needs to be in the photo. It helps to have everyone’s name so that we can share who needs to be in the photo. Make sure you don’t have anything in your hands!
