Jana Butman Photography wanted to give you a few tips on how to come to your session, what to wear and what to bring.
Jana offers her sunset sessions around 5:30PM and they last about an hour. She suggests to wear timeless and classic cloths. It’s fun if you play around with a certain color palette and the cloths matches with style. Accessories and shoes are very important and so fun to pick!
It’s always good to have a favorite toy for your little one, a book or a even a favorite tricycle. Jana loves to include sentimental things in your photos so you can forever remember what your kids liked at the time of the photos.
Her sessions are relaxed but guided. She is very energetic and does all she can to bring out real smiles and laughs!
