One idea: show your kiddos a photo of me and explain, "This is Lori, she's going to be taking our photos tonight and it'll be so much fun!" But dads and moms, don't forget the important role you play in setting the tone for our time together too. If you're having fun with your children then they will enjoy the session also! The goofy grins, the shy, the happy, the moody, and giggles, we'll document it all! **Also, I'm not against bribery.. so bring all the snacks and goodies and maybe a beer reward for dad too. ;)
