Virtual photos with Santa are back! Here are the details from last year's wildly popular photos 🎅

Christmas traditions! Covid has changed the way things operate and also the way some things are even thought about. Last year we offered “virtual photos with Santa” and it was a BIG HIT! So we are offering them again this year! Say goodbye to crying photos of your kids with Santa! You get to pi

I'm taking this month to explain more in detail about my photo experience. This is about part III: VIEWING & ORDERING. If you're in the Space Coast area then I come to you! If not, then we have a virtual meeting. We view your photos together and talk about your favorites and what you want to do with them. Now so many people have no idea what they want and so I provide my expertise to help you decide sizes, product styles, and gifts. If you've already decided on how to fill your space with your photos (via the pre session consultation) then it's just a matter of plugging in your actual photos to your mock up of your space.
A FAQ is how to use different style of frames in a space? Check out kaitlinroten.com/blog for the answer and let me know if you like to use the SAME or DIFFERENT frames in a space.

I'm taking this month to explain more in depth about my photo experience. We're onto part II: The session! Let's be honest, there are very few people who feel comfortable in front of the camera. I love to give prompts or play games to make families feel more comfortable in front of the camera. This is called the sit and sneaky tickle. I just have a few more spots in the fall to transform your home with family photos hanging up on your wall! Oct 2 morning in Dallas, Oct 3 in Dallas, middle of October on the Space Coast of Florida.

Part I: pre-session consultation. I "meet" with all my families beforehand to talk about the end goal of their photo session. Where do you want your photos to live in your home after the session? Most times people have NO idea! That's totally fine! You might have some direction like this family who wanted grandkid photos with them for the grandparent's home. That might be the only starting point and that's ok! I provide my years of expertise in styling homes with photos. There are only a few weeks left in the fall season to get those photos in for Christmas cards. Every family who has a fall session with me gets a set of 50 Christmas cards as a gift! Message me here to start our consultation.

I know that you guys probably don't get this close in real life but just for 5 seconds...and it's for MOM! I really try to make memories in your photos so seeing your photos on the walls of your home will help you love and appreciate those closest in your life even more. IM(humble)O I think that photos of your family on the walls are WAY better the fancy signs that say "Family" or "Love".

One of the FAQ before family photo sessions is WHAT WILL WE WEAR?! Some photographers have accumulated "client closets" where clients can choose what they like and borrow the clothes for the session from the photographer. This sounds like a great idea but for me I try not to accumulate stuff around my house. This is just not for me! I'm introducing a NEW tool just in time for fall season after booking your session with me you can fill out a questionnaire and it will give you recommendations as to what you should wear for your shoot. You can also tell it some items that you already have in your closet to match with those. What to see how it worked on a family?

One of my favorite ways to photograph people is layering the photo with some sort of plants in the foreground and plants in the background. It makes it go seamless in a space WITH house plants! Florida has be "can't stop, won't stop, buying PLANTS!!!"

If you're stressing out about WHAT TO WEAR for your family photo sessions I have just the tool for you! It's a questionnaire that will populate answers and you can either tell it what you already have in your closet or it will give you links where to purchase specific clothing based off of your response! Check out these new family photos debuting the new tool.

FYI: This location is in DC, not Florida or Texas!

Hoping to incorporate some drone photos and videos into my session come this Spring! Personally it’s given me a fresh new perspective on things 😍 If you’re interested in having beautiful drone photos hanging in your home of your family (or your boat!)

Frames are by far my favorite thing to style a home with. They allow me to update new favorites and can take on a classy look with a mat. With a variety of MORE than 9 different responsibly sourced frames there is always one to match pre-existing decor. So start loving and appreciating those closest in your life more by seeing their faces on the walls of your home. LOVE the photos and frames here in your living room. Start your family photo legacy this year! Spring mini session info coming soon.
