Okay, have I peaked your interest? Here are some tips to make this happen for your family.

• Think about places you already like or are planning to visit. This could be a place you love but your kids haven’t seen before, or an all-together new location.

• Consider the season. If your location gets very cold in the winter and you don’t want to be bundled up in your photos, plan to go in the warmer months.

• Schedule well in advance (and by advance, I mean months) to bring your favorite photographer along. 

• Remember to talk with your photographer about what it looks like for them to travel for your photoshoot.
