The brick walkways, historic buildings, beautiful greenery, and changing leaves make it one of my favorite places for family photos in Williamsburg, Virginia. It gives us so much variety without needing to travel from location to location and somehow it manages to feel classic without feeling overly formal. If you’ve been thinking about having family photos taken in [Colonial Williamsburg](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/colonial-mini-sessions-book/), here’s a little peek at what you can expect. ## A Relaxed Approach to Family Photos One of the biggest things I want families to know before their session is that you do not need to show up knowing what to do. You don’t need to practice poses. Your kids don’t need to promise to smile perfectly. And you definitely don’t need everyone looking at the camera for every single photo, that’s my job. I’ll guide you throughout the session, but I also leave room for the little moments that happen naturally—walking together, laughing, snuggling your kids, holding hands, and simply interacting as a family. Of course, we’ll get those classic everyone-looking-at-the-camera photos too. But some of my favorite images are usually the ones that happen in between. ![Colonial Fall Mini Sessions | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Slattery-59-scaled.jpg "Colonial Fall Mini - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## Why Colonial Williamsburg Is Such a Beautiful Photo Location [Colonial Williamsburg](https://kellynwilsonphotography.myflodesk.com/colonialfallminis) gives us so many different backgrounds within a relatively small area. We can use the historic architecture, brick paths, fences, large trees, open grassy areas, gardens, and beautiful seasonal color. By simply walking a short distance, we can create a gallery that looks like we visited several different locations. It also works beautifully throughout the year. Spring brings fresh greenery and flowers, while fall gives us those warm tones and cozy textures that look amazing in family photos. And because I photograph here regularly, I already know some of my favorite little spots and how the light tends to work throughout the area. ![Colonial Fall Mini Sessions | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Pond-34-scaled.jpg "Colonial FALL Mini - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## What Should You Wear? This is probably one of the first questions families ask after booking! My biggest piece of advice is to **coordinate instead of matching**. Choose a few colors that work well together and build everyone’s outfits around them. Neutral tones, soft earth tones, denim, creams, muted greens, blues, browns, and warmer fall shades all photograph beautifully against the Colonial Williamsburg scenery. Textures and layers can also add interest—think sweaters, cardigans, jackets, dresses, boots, and accessories. You don’t have to figure everything out on your own, though. My full family sessions include a [wardrobe guide](https://kellynwilsonphotography.myflodesk.com/bs2h4crol0) to help you plan outfits that photograph well together. ![Colonial Fall Mini Sessions | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/family-guide-1024x712.png "Fall Style Guide - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## What If My Kids Don’t Cooperate? Parents, I promise: I don’t expect your children to behave like tiny professional models. Kids are kids. Sometimes they need a break. Sometimes they want to explore. Sometimes the best way to get a genuine smile is to stop asking them to smile altogether. We’ll work with them instead of against them. I’ve been photographing families since 2014, and one thing I’ve learned is that putting less pressure on kids usually gives us much better photographs. We’ll keep things moving, play when we need to, and let their personalities come through. Those little expressions and interactions are part of your family’s story too. ## Can We Bring Our Dog? Absolutely. Dogs are part of the family, and I love when clients include them in their photos. Colonial Williamsburg can be a great location for a family session that includes your pup. Just make sure you bring a leash, treats, and anything else that helps keep your dog comfortable and happy during the session. And don’t worry, we don’t need your dog in every photograph. We can include them for part of the session and then create plenty of images without them too. ![Colonial Fall Mini Sessions | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Feger_Family-22-scaled.jpg "Colonial Fall Mini | Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## Mini Session or Full Family Session? I offer seasonal **Colonial Mini Sessions** during select times of the year, and they’re perfect for families who want a shorter session and a smaller collection of updated family photos. My full **Lifestyle Family Sessions** give us more time together, more variety, and more flexibility—especially for families with young children who may need a little extra time to warm up. Not sure which one makes the most sense for your family? I’ll be sharing another post soon breaking down the differences between a mini session and a full family session so you can decide which experience fits your family best. ## Family Photos That Still Feel Like Your Family At the end of the day, I don’t want you to look at your photos and only see a perfectly posed family. I want you to see **your** family. The way your little one reaches for your hand. The way your kids make each other laugh. The way everyone fits together during this particular season of your lives. Because these stages change so quickly. And years from now, those little details may be exactly what you want to remember most. If you’ve been thinking about updating your family photos and love the timeless look of Colonial Williamsburg, I’d love to photograph your family. **Ready to start planning your Williamsburg family photography session?

The light is softer. The temperatures are comfortable. Colonial Williamsburg is blooming. Everything feels fresh and full of possibility. But one of the biggest questions I get every single year is: **“What should we wear?”** So let’s simplify it. ![colonial williamsburg spring mini sessions are a must for any family that wants to capture memories in a short amount of time.](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/1.png "Spring Colonial Mini Sessions - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## 1. Start With Soft, Inspired Colors [Spring](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/choosing-your-wardrobe/) is not the time for heavy, dark tones. Instead, lean into: - Soft blues - Creams and ivories - Light sage - Blush - Dusty rose - Pale lavender - Light denim [Colonial Williamsburg](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/colonial-mini-sessions/) especially pairs beautifully with muted tones and soft neutrals. These colors complement the brick, cobblestone, and greenery instead of competing with it. If you’re booking a [branding session](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/the-kwp-branding-website-is-live-and-it-was-built-for-growing-businesses/), think about your brand colors, but soften them slightly for spring. The goal is cohesive, not loud. ## 2. Choose Texture Over Pattern Instead of bold prints, choose visual interest through texture. Think: - Linen dresses - Light sweaters - Flowy skirts - Layered fabrics - Subtle ruffles - Lightweight button-downs Texture photographs beautifully. Large patterns often distract from faces and faces are always the focus. For[ newborn sessions](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/welcoming-your-little-one-what-to-expect-during-your-newborn-photography-session/) at home, soft knits and neutral layers feel timeless and cozy. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Ferguson-9-scaled.jpg "Ferguson-9 - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## 3. Coordinate, Don’t Match Gone are the days of everyone in identical white shirts and jeans. Instead: - Choose 2–3 complementary colors - Mix light neutrals with one soft accent color - Let one person (often mom) pick her outfit first, then build around it For families, this creates movement and depth in your photos. For college grads, choose one outfit that feels classic and one that feels like *you*. A dressy option and a relaxed option works beautifully. For branding clients, plan outfits around storylines, one polished look, one approachable look, and one that highlights personality. ## 4. Consider Movement Spring sessions shine when outfits move naturally. Flowy dresses. Light fabrics. Open cardigans. Wide-leg pants. Movement creates dimension in photos, especially outdoors in Colonial Williamsburg where we walk between locations and capture natural, candid moments. Structured, stiff clothing can feel limiting on camera. ![Family Session : Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Reyburn-18-scaled.jpg "Family Session : Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## 5. Think About the Whole Frame Shoes matter. Undergarments matter. Watch bands matter. Choose: - Neutral shoes - Minimal, timeless jewelry - Clean nails (especially for close-up newborn and grad shots) For branding sessions, avoid smart watches unless they fit your brand aesthetic. Small details elevate your final gallery more than you think. ## 6. When in Doubt — Keep It Simple If you’re overwhelmed, here’s a safe formula that always works in spring: For women: - Light, flowy dress in a soft neutral or pastel For men: - Light button-down + neutral pants For kids: - Soft textures + coordinating tones For branding: - One structured look + one softer lifestyle look Simple photographs beautifully. ## Final Thought The goal isn’t perfection. The goal is connection. When you feel comfortable and confident in what you’re wearing, it shows in your expressions. And that’s what makes your photos feel real. If you’re booking a spring session with me, including[ Colonial Spring Minis,](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/colonial-mini-sessions-list/?fl_builder&fl_builder_ui) I provide a detailed [style guide](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/style-select/) and personal guidance so you don’t have to figure this out alone. Spring light. Fresh blooms. Soft color palettes. It’s a beautiful season to document your story. If you’d like help choosing outfits, reach out, I love helping with this part.

The golden light, colorful leaves, and cozy layers create the perfect backdrop for timeless photos. Whether you’re booking a fall mini session or a full family session, what you wear can make a **big difference** in how your photos turn out. The good news? You don’t have to buy all new clothes to look amazing in your photos. With a little planning (and maybe a fun accessory or two), you can create a beautifully coordinated look using pieces you already own, or a few carefully chosen new favorites. To make things easier, I’ve created a [**Fall Family Style Guide**](https://online.fliphtml5.com/lsoqt/egyw/) filled with tips, color palettes, and even shoppable links to help you plan outfits that will look incredible in photos and showcase your family’s personality. You can download it here: 👉 [**Download My Fall Wardrobe Guide**](https://online.fliphtml5.com/lsoqt/egyw/) ![Kellyn Wilson Photography | Fall Style Guide](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Fall-Hues-819x1024.png "Kellyn Wilson Photography | Fall Style Guide - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## Why Wardrobe Planning Matters The goal isn’t to match perfectly (goodbye, all-white shirts and jeans!) but to **coordinate**. Think of your family’s wardrobe like a team, you want each outfit to complement the others while still allowing individual personalities to shine. A few quick tips to keep in mind: - **Stick to a cohesive color palette.** Earth tones, deep jewel hues, and muted neutrals always photograph beautifully in the fall. - **Layer up!** Sweaters, scarves, vests, and jackets not only keep you warm but add texture and depth to your photos. - **Avoid bright whites and neon colors.** Soft creams, tans, and muted tones tend to look more natural in photos and won’t reflect harsh light. - **Don’t forget shoes!** Sneakers and flip-flops can distract from your carefully planned look. Boots or simple neutral shoes work best. ![Kellyn Wilson Photography | Fall Style Guide](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Cranberry-Harvest-819x1024.png "Kellyn Wilson Photography | Fall Style Guide - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## Fall Color Inspiration This year, I’ve created[ **five different fall family color palettes**](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/choosing-your-wardrobe/), each with its own vibe, from rich, warm jewel tones to soft, neutral hues. These palettes work beautifully for families of all sizes and can even be mixed and matched. Each palette includes ideas for: - Mom - Dad - Toddler (boy + girl) - Child (ages 4–12, boy + girl) These graphics are perfect for visualizing how your [family’s outfits](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/fall-family-photo-wardrobe-guide-tips-for-picture-perfect-outfits/) will look together. You’ll find them inside the [**Fall Wardrobe Guide**](https://online.fliphtml5.com/lsoqt/egyw/), along with links to shop some of my favorite picks. ![Kellyn Wilson Photography | Fall Style Guide](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Rustic-Sunset-819x1024.png "Kellyn Wilson Photography | Fall Style Guide - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ![Kellyn Wilson Photography | Fall Style Guide](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/woodland-trails-819x1024.png "Kellyn Wilson Photography | Fall Style Guide - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## Accessorize with Purpose Accessories can take your outfits to the next level, but they should feel intentional. - Hats, scarves, and statement jewelry are great for adding personality. - If your session is outdoors, consider the weather and location—cozy sweaters and boots are perfect for crisp fall days. - For men, stick with clean, neutral shoes like brown boots or classic white sneakers. ![Kellyn Wilson Photography | Fall Style Guide](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Cozy-Warm-Neutrals-819x1024.png "Kellyn Wilson Photography | Fall Style Guide - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## Final Thoughts Your fall family photos should reflect **your unique story**, and what you wear is a big part of that. By coordinating thoughtfully and adding layers and textures, you’ll create a timeless look that feels authentic and polished.

Let’s talk about something truly magical: those very first hours with your baby. You know, the ones where time feels like it’s standing still, and you can’t believe how tiny and perfect they are. Those moments are *gold*, and they deserve to be captured. That’s where Fresh 48 sessions come in. ![Hospital Newborn (Fresh 48) Newborn Session](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Militano-7-1024x731.jpg "Hospital Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ### What is a Fresh 48 Session? Fresh 48 sessions happen within the first 48 hours after your baby is born, right there in the hospital, birthing center, or even your home if you’ve had a home birth. These aren’t your typical posed newborn photos; they’re raw, real, and full of emotion. Think of it as storytelling photography, capturing the first snuggles, the teeny fingers and toes, and those moments when your heart feels like it’s going to burst. ![Hospital Newborn (Fresh 48) Newborn Session](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/2025-01-08_0001-1024x489.jpg "Hospital Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ### Why Should You Book a Fresh 48 Session? Here’s the thing: those first days are a beautiful blur. You’re adjusting to life with a brand-new human, and trust me, it goes by faster than you think. Fresh 48 photos freeze those moments in time so you can hold onto them forever. Some of my favorite moments to capture during these sessions include: - The first time siblings meet the baby (cue all the tears). - Mom and dad’s pure joy and awe as they gaze at their little one. - Tiny details like hospital bracelets, wrinkly feet, and the cutest yawns you’ve ever seen. Plus, these sessions are super relaxed. No need to worry about getting all dressed up or having your house photo-ready. I’ll document your story just as it is—natural and beautiful. ### What Can You Expect? When you book a Fresh 48 session, I’ll come to you within those first two days after your baby’s arrival. We’ll spend about 45 minutes capturing sweet, candid moments. I’ll guide you a bit, but mostly, I’ll let the magic happen naturally. You just focus on soaking in those first snuggles with your baby, and I’ll handle the rest. ![Hospital Newborn (Fresh 48) Newborn Session](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/2025-01-08_0002-1024x369.jpg "Hospital Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ### Ready to Book? Fresh 48 sessions are all about celebrating your baby’s first chapter. Whether it’s their squishy cheeks, proud big siblings, or your sheer joy as new parents, these photos will take you right back to those precious moments every time you look at them. Sound like something you don’t want to miss? [Let’s make it happen!

It’s quieter. Slower. More time inside. More moments that happen in between the busy. And while spring and fall tend to get all the attention for family photos, winter holds some of the most meaningful moments of all—the ones that are often overlooked because they feel ordinary. The way your toddler climbs into your lap without asking. The tiny hands reaching for your face. The giggles on the couch. The quiet snuggles before nap time. These moments don’t stay forever. That’s why I created my **Here & Now Winter Story Sessions**—a limited February offering designed specifically for moms with littles who want to remember this season exactly as it is. ## What Is a Here & Now Winter Story Session? This is not a traditional family photo session. A Here & Now Winter Story Session focuses on **one simple story** from your everyday life, captured in a natural, relaxed, and connection-driven way. Rather than multiple setups, outfits, and locations, we slow things down and lean into what already exists: - Morning snuggles - Reading books together - Baking cookies - Playing in the living room - Rocking your baby - Bedtime routines No pressure. No perfect posing. Just real moments, gently guided. ![Lifestyle Family Session capturing the moments that matter the most.](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/2026-01-24_0001-1024x489.jpg "Lifestyle Family Session - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## Who These Sessions Are For These sessions are designed for: - Moms with babies, toddlers, and young kids - Families who value connection over perfection - Parents who want photos that feel like *their real life* - Anyone who wants to remember the small moments before they change If you’ve ever thought, *“I don’t want anything fancy, I just want photos that feel like us,”* this session was created for you. If you’re interested in viewing more of my lifestyle family work, you can explore my [**Lifestyle Family Photography Portfolio**](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/portfolio/family/) to see additional examples of my storytelling approach. ![Lifestyle Family Session capturing the moments that matter the most.](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/2026-01-24_0002-1024x478.jpg "Lifestyle Family Session - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## Why Winter Is the Perfect Time Winter naturally invites us to slow down. We spend more time inside. We move at a gentler pace. Our homes feel cozier. That creates the perfect environment for storytelling. Instead of worrying about weather, wind, or cold fingers, we focus on what matters most—your connection with your child. Some of the most meaningful images come from these quieter seasons. If you’re expecting a new baby, you may also be interested in my [**Lifestyle Newborn Sessions**](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/in-home-lifestyle-newborn-williamsburg-yorktown-and-hampton-roads/), which focus on documenting those early days at home in a natural and relaxed way. ## What’s Included Each Here & Now Winter Story Session includes: - **45-minute lifestyle session** - **One story focus** - **10 hand-edited digital images** - **In-home or cozy indoor location** - **Weekday sessions only (Monday–Friday)** Sessions are intentionally limited to **5 families** for the month of February. ## A Valentine’s-Inspired Focus on Love February often centers around love in a romantic sense. But this offer is about another kind of love—the everyday, steady, unconditional love between you and your child. The kind of love that shows up in routines, in small gestures, and in the ordinary moments that become extraordinary with time. These sessions are a way to honor that love. For business owners who may be visiting and looking for branding imagery, you can explore my work through [**KWP Branding**](http://www.kwpbranding.com) where I specialize in personal and business branding photography. ## What These Photos Become Your gallery won’t just be images. They become: - Reminders of how small they once were - Proof of how deeply you are loved - A visual record of this season of motherhood One day, you’ll look back and realize these were the days you’ll miss the most. ## Investment Here & Now Winter Story Sessions are **$425**. This special February offering is available for a limited time and a limited number of families. ## How to Reserve Your Session If you’re a mom with littles and this speaks to your heart, I would love to photograph this season for you.

If you’re expecting, you’ve probably heard of maternity photos and newborn portraits, but have you heard of a *Fresh 48 session*? A Fresh 48 session is a documentary-style photo session that takes place within the first 24 to 48 hours after your baby is born. It’s designed to capture those raw, real, and fleeting moments as your new family begins its journey—wrinkled toes, sleepy smiles, tiny hospital bracelets, and all the emotions that come with meeting your baby for the very first time. As a Fresh 48 photographer in Williamsburg VA and surrounding area, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful and emotional these sessions can be. They preserve the quiet, in-between moments you’ll want to remember forever. ![Hospital Newborn (Fresh 48) Newborn Session](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/2025-01-08_0001-1024x489.jpg "Hospital Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ### Why Choose a Fresh 48 Session? The first few hours with your newborn are a blur. Between medical checkups, visitors, and your own recovery, it’s easy to forget to take photos, and even when you do, you’re usually not in them. Fresh 48 sessions give you: - Professional, heartfelt images in a natural setting - A chance to be in the frame with your baby—no makeup or perfection needed - A visual story of those first precious hours you’ll never get back Unlike posed newborn studio sessions, Fresh 48s are all about connection, love, and storytelling. ### What to Expect During Your Session Fresh 48 sessions typically take place: - At your hospital, birth center, or home (for home births) - Within the first 1–2 days after birth - In natural light, using a lifestyle/documentary approach Your session will last about 30–45 minutes. No props, no poses just your real life, beautifully captured. I document everything from tiny yawns and fingers to emotional first meetings with siblings and grandparents. ![Hospital Newborn (Fresh 48) Newborn Session](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/2025-01-08_0002-1024x369.jpg "Hospital Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ### When Should You Book? Because of the unpredictable nature of birth, I only take a limited number of Fresh 48 sessions each month. It’s important to reach out during your second or early third trimester so I can pencil in your due date and stay on-call around that time. Once baby arrives, you or your partner will send me a quick message, and I’ll come to your birth location as soon as it’s convenient (usually the next morning). ![Hospital Newborn (Fresh 48) Newborn Session](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Militano-7-1024x731.jpg "Hospital Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ### Ready to Book Your Fresh 48 Session?

My approach to photography is rooted in connection, comfort, and capturing moments that feel like *you*. Whether I’m photographing a growing family, a brand-new baby, or a quiet in-between moment, I’m always looking for what’s real, not forced. ![Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Tuck-37-1024x731.jpg "Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Why I Photograph the Way I Do** I believe photos should feel natural, emotional, and timeless. Not overly posed. Not rushed. And definitely not something you feel nervous about. When clients come to me, many say the same thing: > “I’m not comfortable in front of the camera.” That’s okay and honestly, expected. My job isn’t for you to know what to do. It’s to gently guide you, create space for connection, and document the moments that unfold naturally. ![Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Shanahan_LifestyleNewborn-24-1024x731.jpg "Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **What a Session With Me Feels Like** Think less “stand here and smile” and more: - Light direction and gentle prompts - Space for kids to be kids - Snuggles, laughter, movement, and pauses - A calm, unhurried environment For newborn sessions, this means following your baby’s lead. For family sessions, it means embracing real life, wiggles, giggles, and all. **Why Coastal Virginia Inspires My Work** Living and working in Coastal Virginia gives me so much inspiration, the soft light, the open spaces, the slower pace, and the sense of home that so many families feel here. My goal is always the same: To create images that feel honest, meaningful, and full of heart, the kind you’ll look back on and *feel*. ### A Small Favor 💛 I’m incredibly honored to share that **Kellyn Wilson Photography** was nominated for [**Best of Coastal Virginia Readers’ Choice Awards**.](https://bestof.coastalvirginiamag.com/custom_link/6955d2b1fbfd5d084d8dec85) If my work has ever resonated with you whether you’ve worked with me, followed along here, or simply love supporting local businesses, I would be so grateful for your vote.

As a newborn photographer serving Williamsburg, Hampton Roads, and the 757 area, I offer two unique ways to tell your baby’s story: [**Fresh 48**](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/hospital-newborn-fresh-48-pricing-guide/) and [**Lifestyle Newborn**](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/in-home-lifestyle-family-pricing-guide/) sessions. Both are natural and connection-focused—but each has a different rhythm, location, and emotional feel. So… how do you choose? Let’s walk through both. ### 🍼 What Is a Fresh 48 Session? A [**Fresh 48 session**](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/hospital-newborn-fresh-48-pricing-guide/) is a special photo session that takes place within **the first 48 hours after your baby is born**. These sessions typically happen in the hospital, birth center, or at home (if you’re having a home birth). Fresh 48 sessions are raw and beautifully real. There are no props, no posing—just your brand-new baby, fresh from the womb, being held and snuggled by the people who already love them most. **What I’ll capture:** - Baby’s tiny features—wrinkly toes, flaky skin, hospital bracelets - First yawns, stretches, and sleepy snuggles - Sweet interactions with parents, siblings, and grandparents (if visiting) - You soaking in those first “I can’t believe you’re here” moments **Who this session is perfect for:** - Families who want to freeze time in those **first 24–48 hours** - Parents who want a birth story *without* actual labor photos - People who love the raw, emotional moments of early bonding These sessions are shorter (usually around 45 minutes) and super flexible—I come when you’re ready, often the morning after birth. You don’t need to worry about getting ready or looking perfect. The emotion is the beauty. ![Fresh 48 | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/fresh48collage-1024x513.jpg "Fresh 48 | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ### 🏡 What Is a Lifestyle Newborn Session? A [**Lifestyle Newborn session** ](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/in-home-lifestyle-family-pricing-guide/)happens in the comfort of your own home—typically within the first **2–3 weeks** after your baby is born. These sessions are all about documenting your new rhythm and the loving environment you’ve created. No need to clean your whole house or have a magazine-worthy nursery. I work with the natural light in your space and guide you into gentle, real moments that highlight connection—not perfection. **What I’ll capture:** - Baby swaddled in their crib or snuggled on your bed - Parents and siblings interacting naturally—feeding, cuddling, reading - Tiny details of your nursery, home, and the space where you’ve brought baby home - Real-life moments like baby yawns, diaper changes, or that coffee cup you’ve reheated five times **Who this session is perfect for:** - Families who want a relaxed session with **more time and variety** - Parents who want to include their home or nursery in the photos - Those who want to wait a little longer to recover before being photographed These sessions usually last **60–90 minutes** to give everyone space to relax and ease into the flow (especially when siblings or pets are involved). ![Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/lifestyle-newborn-collage-1024x608.jpg "Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ### 🤔 Can’t Decide? Book Both! Fresh 48 and Lifestyle Newborn sessions tell **two beautiful chapters** of your baby’s story: - Fresh 48 captures the **emotion of day one**—the wonder, the tears, the “we made it” feelings. - Lifestyle Newborn captures the **beauty of life at home**—the routines, the snuggles, the soft settling into your new normal. **When booked together, you’ll save $200** and get a complete story of your baby’s beginning. **Still unsure which one fits your family best?** I’d love to chat! 📩[ Let’s Connect ](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/book-your-session/) ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

As a newborn photographer, my goal is to capture those precious early days in a way that feels real, comfortable, and unique to you and your family. A lifestyle newborn session focuses on creating authentic, cozy images of your family together, in the place that feels most like home. Here’s a guide with *10 Essentials* for a relaxed newborn session, so you’ll feel ready and excited to capture these first memories. ### 1. **Choose a Comfortable Setting** Newborn sessions are best when everyone feels at ease. Holding the session in the comfort of your own home keeps the environment familiar and relaxed. Plus, your home will add a personal touch to every image, making these memories uniquely yours. ![Lifestyle Newborn Session in the comfort of your home](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Nickless_LifestyleNewborn-10-1024x683.jpg "Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ### 2. **Incorporate Natural Light** Nothing flatters like natural light! For that soft, dreamy look, choose a spot in your home with plenty of sunlight, like near a large window. This helps keep the photos feeling airy and natural. ### 3. **Prepare Simple Outfits and Swaddles** Neutral, pastel, or solid colors work beautifully for newborn sessions. They keep the focus on your baby and help create a timeless look. Soft blankets, swaddles, and onesies are perfect for easy changes and add extra comfort for your little one. ![newborn care guide](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Costabile_LifestyleNewborn-77-1024x732.jpg "Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ### 4. **Keep Favorite Props Close By** Simple props can make a session more personal. Consider a special stuffed animal, a knitted blanket from Grandma, or even small items like mom’s wedding ring. These little details can add so much meaning and help tell your family’s story. ### 5. **Plan for Breaks** Babies run on their own schedules, so it’s perfectly normal to pause for feeding, diaper changes, or cuddle time. I always plan extra time so that everyone stays relaxed and comfortable without feeling rushed. ![Lifestyle Newborn Session in the comfort of your home](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Feger_LifestyleNewborn-75-1024x732.jpg "Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ### 6. **Include Family Members** Including parents, siblings, and even pets adds warmth to your photos.[ Lifestyle newborn sessions](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/newborn/) are all about those connections, so plan for some sweet moments with everyone in the family. ### 7. **Maintain a Calm and Quiet Atmosphere** Newborns are sensitive to their surroundings, so creating a calm, soothing environment can make all the difference. Playing soft white noise or lullabies can help relax your baby and make them feel secure. ![Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Brown-46-1024x683.jpg "Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ### 8. **Use Hands for Support and Comfort** Many newborn poses can be created with gentle support from a parent’s hand or sibling’s embrace. This helps keep your baby safe while also creating heartwarming, close-up moments of family bonding. ### 9. **Capture Tiny Details** Their tiny toes, little fingers, wispy eyelashes—all those little details are easy to forget as they grow. Close-ups of these features are perfect for filling out your gallery with memories of how they were in those first days. ### 10. **Embrace Imperfection** Remember, newborn sessions don’t have to be perfect! Some of the most beautiful photos come from candid moments—a yawn, a little stretch, or even a tiny cry can make for wonderfully authentic memories. Letting go of perfection allows us to capture the moments just as they are. --- ### Ready to Capture These Precious Moments?

As a photographer specializing in lifestyle newborn sessions, I’ve come to appreciate the magic of [capturing these moments](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/capturing-precious-moments-lifestyle-newborn-photography/) in the comfort of your own home. Unlike traditional studio sessions, which often focus on posed portraits, lifestyle sessions aim to document the genuine interactions and emotions between parents, siblings, and even pets, creating a narrative that tells your family’s unique story. ![Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/2024-07-22_0001-scaled.jpg "Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **The Essence of Lifestyle Sessions** What sets lifestyle newborn sessions apart is their emphasis on authenticity. Instead of stiff poses and artificial backdrops, these sessions unfold naturally in your familiar surroundings. Whether it’s cuddling on the couch, soothing your baby in the nursery, or sharing a tender moment in the backyard, each photograph captures the genuine essence of your family’s dynamics and the deep bond with your newborn. **Including Your Whole Family** One of the joys of lifestyle sessions is the opportunity to involve your entire family, including older children and beloved pets. These sessions celebrate the love and connection that siblings and furry friends bring to the newborn’s life, making for heartwarming and candid images that you’ll cherish for years to come. Pets often add a delightful spontaneity and playfulness to the session, reflecting the joy and chaos that comes with family life. **Why Choose a Lifestyle Session?** Beyond the authenticity and inclusivity, opting for a [lifestyle newborn session](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/the-importance-of-in-home-lifestyle-photography/) means you don’t need a perfectly styled home. Whether your space is a cozy nest of baby blankets and scattered toys or a serene haven of minimalist decor, what matters most is the love and joy that fill the room. These sessions focus on capturing the tender moments between you and your newborn, rather than on the details of your surroundings. ![Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Snyder-34-1024x731.jpg "Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Booking Your Session** If you’re considering a lifestyle newborn session, it’s [best to reach out as soon a](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/book-your-session/)s possible. We’ll schedule a time to chat about your vision and preferences, ensuring we tailor the session to reflect your family’s unique personality and style.

They celebrate the messy, joyful, and profoundly moving journey of welcoming a new life into your family. Embrace the imperfect perfection of your home and let us capture the memories that will warm your heart for years to come. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

It’s about encapsulating the entirety of family dynamics, including the unparalleled bond between siblings and the newest addition to the family. Capturing those initial moments shared between siblings and newborns transcends mere photography; it immortalizes the profound love, curiosity, and tenderness that exist within these relationships. These images become timeless treasures, encapsulating the essence of familial connections and the journey of growth and companionship. ![Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_6620-731x1024.jpg "Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") Through the lens of a lifestyle newborn photographer, every embrace, every shared glance, and every gentle touch between siblings and newborns tell a story of unspoken love. These images serve as a reminder of the beauty and joy that family brings, and they hold an everlasting place in the hearts of those who cherish them. ![Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_6617-1024x682.jpg "Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ![Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Brown-46-1024x683.jpg "Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ![Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_3896-1-1024x731.jpg "Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") Lifestyle newborn photography is not just about capturing memories, it’s about preserving the intricate tapestry of family life, with all its nuances, emotions, and moments of pure, unadulterated love. It’s about celebrating the bonds that unite us and the magic found in the everyday moments shared between siblings and their newest family member. Let’s embrace the art of lifestyle newborn photography as a means of immortalizing these priceless moments and celebrating the extraordinary bond between siblings and newborns that words alone cannot express. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

It’s a season filled with moments that weave the fabric of treasured memories. As homes get adorned with sparkling decorations and the air fills with the aroma of festive treats, there’s a magical opportunity to freeze these cherished moments in time through a lifestyle family photo session. Imagine this: your family, gathered around the kitchen island, flour dusting the air as you bake batches of delicious cookies. The children’s laughter fills the room, the scent of freshly baked treats enveloping every corner. Or perhaps, it’s the scene of everyone cozied up on the couch, wrapped in soft blankets, engrossed in a beloved Christmas story. These are the scenes that hold within them the essence of the holiday spirit – and these are the moments worth preserving. ![Holiday Memories | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Jakubowski-35-1024x731.jpg "Holiday Memories | Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") A lifestyle family session during the holidays is more than just a photoshoot; it’s a time capsule capturing the warmth, love, and joy that defines this special time of year. Whether it’s decorating the tree with handmade ornaments or engaging in a spirited snowball fight outdoors, these sessions encapsulate the magic of the season and the unique essence of your family. ![Holiday Memories | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/2023-12-07_0001-1024x500.jpg "Holiday Memories | Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") With a lifestyle family session, there are no stiff poses or forced smiles. Instead, it’s about genuine interactions, candid moments, and capturing your family exactly as you are – full of love, laughter, and the holiday spirit. Parents often say, “They grow up so fast,” and it’s undeniably true. Children evolve, families grow, and traditions might shift. That’s why freezing precious moments through photography is invaluable. Your kids will grow up, and holiday memories are fleeting. Capturing them allows you to hold onto cherished times forever. ![Holiday Memories | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/2023-12-07_0002-1024x367.jpg "Holiday Memories | Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") As a photographer, I don’t just aim to capture images; I strive to encapsulate emotions and stories. Holiday lifestyle sessions are about creating tangible memories that evoke emotions and transport you back to the beautiful moments every time you glance at them. So, as you deck the halls and prepare for a season of merriment, consider inviting me into your home to document these priceless moments. Let your holiday traditions be the backdrop, embrace the chaos and the calm, the laughter and the tender moments – for these are the threads that weave the tapestry of your family’s story. After all, the twinkling lights dim, the ornaments get packed away, but the memories captured remain vivid, reminding you of the warmth and love that filled your home during this magical time of year. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

As a Lifestyle Family Photographer, I love to capture the deep connections that families have for one another. Each Lifestyle Family Session tells a different story, which is why they are so unique. On Dec 7th, I was blessed to capture memories for a family that has a personal and unique story to tell. Meet the Yank family! Lauren and Damien have two daughters, Stella (8) and Lilly (4) and a boy Grayson (11). They have been through a lot over the years. During Lauren’s five month ultrasound, they found out that their daughter Lilly’s had a rare heart defect. They were transferred to one of the best Children’s Hospitals in St. Louis where they spent many hours visiting the Fetal Care Institute along with a team of cardiologists. ![Lifestyle Family : Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Yank_Family-50edit-1024x731.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") On February 25th, 2015 Lilly was born. She was rushed to Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital where Lauren and Damien were educated on Lilly’s rare diagnosis of Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome. Over the past four years, Lilly has undergone five open heart surgeries as well as a procedure to help get rid fluid around her lungs. She has endured x-rays, ekgs, chest tubes, long intubations, withdrawal and so much more. ![Lifestyle Family : Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/2020-01-24_0001-1024x495.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") When I first met Lilly, I would have never expected this little girl went through all that she did at just four years old. Her smile and energy is contagious! She is like any other four year old. She loves the beach, ice skating, dancing and playing with her Barbies. During our session together, I was made aware that she has a beautiful beauty mark on her chest. Her beauty mark tells the story of all that she has been through and will continue to go through, as she has many obstacles to overcome. ![Lifestyle Family : Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/2020-01-24_0002-1024x489.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") While Lilly was Cardinal Glennon Childrens Hospital, she was given one bead (a bead of courage) for everything she would accomplish on a daily basis. Some beads symbolize surgery while others symbolize a dressing change, all hurdles in their own way. These beads represent a small accumulation of her story. They were not collected from early stays as you can only imagine how many would be on this wall. ![Lifestyle Family : Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/2020-01-24_0003-1024x553.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ![Lifestyle Family : Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Yank_Family-79-732x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") Lauren – “ We feel extremely blessed and know Lilly was given to us not only to love and enjoy but to also push our family to do for others in a way we never imagined. There is no cure or quick fix for Lilly. We are not certain where her story will go from here or what her future holds and neither are her phenomenal surgeons and doctors, but we do know she has already made such a positive impact on this world and will continue to do so today! She is a true blessing!” “Lilly is an ambassador for Cardinal Glennon as well as Children’s Miracle Network. This has been an absolute honor for Lilly and our entire family. We were blessed she was chosen to represent the many children fighting their own battles within and outside of hospital walls.” ![Lifestyle Family : Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/2020-01-24_0004-1024x374.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") I had so much fun at their session. I captured memories of them decorating cookies, throwing marshmallows, having pillow fights and laughing…oh the laughing! They will leave with memories that can be passed down for years to come.

Here are five tips on what to wear: **1. Coordinate Colors, Don’t Match:** Instead of everyone wearing the exact same color, opt for a coordinated color scheme that complements the fall season. Earthy tones like deep reds, warm oranges, forest greens, and rich browns work well. These colors blend beautifully with the autumn backdrop. ![Family Session : Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Brown_Family-23-1024x731.jpg "Family Session : Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **2. Layer Up:** Fall weather can be unpredictable, so layering is essential. Consider cardigans, scarves, vests, and jackets to add depth and texture to your outfits. Layers not only keep you warm but also provide visual interest in the photos. ![Family Session | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Mitchell_Family-50-1024x731.jpg "Family Session | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **3. Mix Patterns and Textures:** To avoid a monotonous look, mix patterns and textures among family members. Some might wear plaid or floral prints, while others can wear solid colors or textured fabrics like knit sweaters or corduroy pants. Just be sure the patterns and textures complement each other without clashing. ![Family Session : Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Wood_Family-36-731x1024.jpg "Family Session : Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **4. Avoid Distracting Logos and Graphics**: Steer clear of clothing with large logos, characters, or graphics that can distract from the main focus of the photos – your family. Simple and classic styles tend to work best in creating timeless images. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Hickman-7-1-1024x731.jpg "Hickman-7 - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **5. Consider the Location:** Think about the location of your photo session when [choosing your outfits](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/easy-tips-for-the-best-family-photo-outfits-ever/). If you’ll be in a park with colorful foliage, muted and earthy tones may be suitable. If you’ll be in an urban setting, you might opt for more modern or elegant attire. Ensure that your outfits harmonize with the environment. ![Family | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Babkina_Family-15-1024x731.jpg "Family | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Bonus Tip:** Don’t forget about shoes and accessories. Comfortable shoes are a must, especially if you’ll be walking or standing for an extended period. Accessories like hats, scarves, and jewelry can add a personal touch and complete your fall look. Remember that the most important thing is that you feel comfortable and confident in your chosen outfits. When everyone feels good, it will show in the photos, creating beautiful memories of your [fall family photo session.](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/colonial-mini-sessions-2/) ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

Here are some examples of locations that can help bring out your family’s personality: 1.

Activity-based locations: Choosing a location that is centered around a particular activity or interest can help bring out your family’s passions, hobbies, or shared interests. Examples of such locations could be a bowling alley, a museum, a zoo, or a sports field. Ultimately, the location you choose for your family photoshoot should reflect your family’s personality and help create a unique and memorable experience. ![Family Session : Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Wood_Family-27-1024x731.jpg "Family Session : Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ![Family Session : Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/PG724160-8C8D201E-BBD7-4ED8-B3B7-C34413C0044C.jpg "Family Session : Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Ferguson-9-1024x731.jpg "Ferguson-9 - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

It’s a time that’s spent with family and friends and there are so many memories to capture, but what can you do with your holiday snaps once it’s all over? **Ideas for what to do with your photos after the holidays** - **Turn them into magnets.** What better way to remember a fun moment during the holidays than by seeing it on your refrigerator every morning. Magnets also make for fun, inexpensive gifts for your loved ones. ![What to Do With Your Photos Once the Holidays Are Over](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screen-Shot-2023-01-05-at-9.13.53-PM-1024x743.png "What to Do With Your Photos Once the Holidays Are Over - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") - **Add them to a digital frame.** Why choose to print one or two of your favorite holiday photos when you can loop through all of them using a digital photo frame. Another option is to create a slideshow of your holiday photos that you can use as a screensaver on your computer or even your television. ![What to Do With Your Photos Once the Holidays Are Over](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/DigitalPictureFrame.jpg.webp "What to Do With Your Photos Once the Holidays Are Over - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") - **Create a calendar**. Pick 12 of your favorite holiday photos so that you can look back on a new memory each month. Calendars also make great gifts for family members. ![What to Do With Your Photos Once the Holidays Are Over](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screen-Shot-2023-01-05-at-9.13.03-PM-1024x798.png "What to Do With Your Photos Once the Holidays Are Over - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") - **Get creative with your prints.** Instead of printing your photos out in the usual sizes, why not print them out as Polaroid-sized photos or Instagram strips, which you can hang from clips along a custom wire photo display. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screen-Shot-2023-01-05-at-9.22.34-PM-1024x842.png "Screen Shot 2023-01-05 at 9.22.34 PM - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") - **Add them to custom coasters.** Another great way to display a few of your fun holiday snaps is to print them on coasters. This is a great alternative to printing the photos for frames and you can still have them all over your home too. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screen-Shot-2023-01-05-at-9.27.54-PM.png "Screen Shot 2023-01-05 at 9.27.54 PM - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") - **Print a photo book.** Instead of printing each of your photos individually, why not turn your holiday photos into a fun photo book.

Here are some things to consider before choosing a location: **Comfort** A family photoshoot is where you get to smile, laugh and be yourselves. If some of your family members are shy then you might not want to choose a very public spot. **Personalities** What makes your family unique? Choose a location that fits in with who you are as a family. Do you enjoy spending time in your garden or on a couch reading books? Perhaps you spend lots of time outdoors or enjoy being around the water? Your location should speak to your personalities. **Convenience** Take each member of your family into consideration. What are their ages and needs? If you have two toddlers that might need to use a bathroom at any time, then a remote spot is probably not the best idea. ![Colonial Mini Session | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Ferguson-10-1024x731.jpg "Colonial Mini Session | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Family Photoshoot Location Ideas** Below are some ideas of where you could arrange your photo session. **At Home** Sometimes the best shots can be taken right at home. Get your family outside in the garden or setup your living room for a classic look and feel. If this speaks to you then check out my [In-Home Lifestyle Family Sessions](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/lifestyle-family/) **In the City** For a more modern feel to your photos you could get out in the city and take a few photos next to an interesting building or in a funky alley way. **In Nature** If you’re looking for a calm, natural setting then choose an outdoor location. Parks and forests make for beautiful backdrops. **In Studio** If you’re looking for a more private setting where you can use props and backdrops, then a studio setting might be more for you. Studio photos will also give you the option to take more posed, structured photos. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

Get Ready!](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/red-white-boom-get-ready/) **Published:** July 4, 2017 **Author:** Kellyn Wilson **Content:** ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/IMG_6511-768x1024.jpg "IMG_6511 - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") You are wearing your Red, White, and Blue and ready to go see the Fireworks! You would like to take your camera, but have no idea how to take Awesome Firework photos! **Your in luck!** Follow these quick tips and you will be read in no time!! Happy shooting! **\#1 Use a tripod** By using a tripod you will be sure that your camera will not move which will help with camera shake. Camera shake can cause motion blur to your photos. If you don’t have a tripod, hold your camera with your elbows tucked underneath. This will help you hold it nice and steady! **\#2 Use a cable release or wireless remote to trigger the shutter if you have one** If you have a cable release or remote, program your camera to it so that your shutter can fire off shots at a steady rate! **\#3 Turn on Long Exposure Noise Reduction** Shooting at Long Exposures will help the shutter speed to sharply capture the fireworks while in the air leaving no room for a blurred photo **\#4 Set the camera to a low ISO, such as 200** Low ISO (International Standards Organization) has to do with the sensitivity of your image sensor. The higher your ISO, the more sensitive your camera is to light. By setting it at a low ISO (50-200) will help with noise. **\#5 Use your camera’s fireworks setting** Many recent cameras have a scene mode specifically for fireworks. Try some photos with and without it and see what you prefer. **\#6 Turn your flash off** Whether it’s an on-camera flash or an add-on, it’s not nearly powerful enough to reach the fireworks. Even if it was, you wouldn’t want to light them that way. Go flash-less. **\#7 Camera Settings** To make sure that all this works together, make sure you’re shooting with a low ISO (100) and narrow aperture (f/11 – f/16). **\#8 Get to your location early** In order to really succeed at this you have to get to your location hours ahead of time, stake a claim to your spot and save extra space for the rest of your family! **\#9 Check the weather before you go** I am not talking about rain! That should be obvious 🙂 I am talking about wind! If you are shooting from a downwind position, every frame will have smoke between you and the fireworks, rather than the other way around. **\#10 HAVE FUN!!** ## Happy 4th of July!! ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

After all, they’re part of your family! But you may be worried that your furry friend won’t behave or pay attention, and you’ll end up without a single decent photo. Photographing dogs can be challenging, but there are ways you can help out your photographer and prepare both you and your pet for their moment in front of the camera. Check out these seven tips for including your dog in your family photos. **Brush up on basic commands** In the weeks and days leading up to your session, take time to practice commands with your dog, like *sit, stay,* and *down*. These commands can be incredibly helpful when positioning your dog for photos or getting them to cooperate with the photographer. And if your dog knows any special tricks, be sure to practice those as well because they can make for great images. **Run off some energy** To keep your dog from acting wild during your photo session, find a way to help them get some energy out beforehand. Take a long walk or even a jog around the park. Even better, have them spend the day before the session at a doggy daycare to play with other dogs. A little exercise prior to your session can help your dog relax and be more focused on you and the photographer. **Prepare yourself—and try to relax** If you’ve owned a dog for any length of time, you probably know how sensitive they are to your moods. The calmer and more positive you are about your session, the more at ease your dog will feel. But if you’re stressed or anxious, your dog will pick up on your emotions and develop a similar attitude. Just go with the flow of the session and don’t worry if everything doesn’t go just according to plan. **Bring plenty of treats and toys** Don’t skimp on the rewards! Be sure to bring along a bag of your dog’s favorite treats to entice them to obey commands and look at the camera. Just make sure not to feed them too much before the shoot so they aren’t full and will still be interested in treats. It’s also a good idea to bring along your dog’s favorite toy, but you may not want to bring it out first thing during the session. The sight of their favorite ball or squeaky toy may cause your dog to lose all the focus they’ve held for your photographer. **Have noisemakers handy** The key to capturing those adorable expressions on your dog’s face is a toy that squeaks or crinkles or even makes a high-pitched noise. Just be sure not to overuse these toys and allow your dog to become accustomed to them. Save your noisemakers for when you really need your furry friend to pay attention. **Let them express their personality** The best way to include your dog in your family photos is simply to let them be who they are. Instead of trying to coax your dog into unnatural poses, treat them like you would a child. Allow your dog to run around and play, giving the photographer a chance to capture them in their element, and then bring them in for the posed photos by putting an arm around them or petting their fur. Physical contact is a great way to help your dog feel comfortable and show off more of their unique personality. **Dress with your dog in mind** When you’re planning outfits for your family session, think about your dog. Avoid colors that will clash with the color of their fur and go for simple solids or neutral tones. If your dog is a shedder, avoid wearing a color that will really show their hair. For example, if you have a golden dog, you may not want to wear anything black. Putting a little extra thought into how your outfits will look with your dog can help make for the best images. Your pet is a part of your family, so they deserve to be in your family photos! Just be patient with your dog and remember that their unpredictability is part of why you love them so much. The most important thing is capturing your family—including your pets—in all the joy and love you share! ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

I want to chat with you about what to wear to your sessions and why I feel style is such an important component of your photo session. If you are anything like me, trying to find the perfect outfits for my family is an overwhelming and exhausting task! You are trying to find the right colors, the right style but not to **matchy-matchy** and still represent your family’s personality! Most of all you want to **make sure you look + feel great!** oh…add juggling your kids schedule, hubbies to do list, and the dog – yeah, ain’t no one has time for that! Did you know that Wardrobe and Styling can truly elevate a photo, or worst case scenario can completely detract from the most important part of the photo which is YOU! That doesn’t mean I want you to steer away from your family’s style but instead find ways to make your style unique (traditional, retro, romantic) while still maintaining a timeless feel to your photos via clothing choices that allow the **focus to be on your beautiful family** and not dad wearing the sneakers that he mowed the lawn in. [Introducing Style + Select](https://www.canva.com/design/DAErcElsLjY/R-2X-Us7YrQgBTepyJgSZA/view?utm_content=DAErcElsLjY&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=publishsharelink#1) When you book a session with me, you will receive a prep-guide that goes over clothing and color suggestions.

Now what? I remember the day I brought my son home. We were living in the most awful military quarters surrounded by boxes, getting ready to move to South Carolina. I wanted everything to be perfect so I forced myself to have one room in the house look normal! As new parents, I knew our life was about to change in ways we could never imagine…all of it wonderful! Over the years, I have collected some simple tips for new parents trying to manage this exciting—and exhausting—change in their lives. **1. Give yourself a break.** You may have Pinterest boards and books full of great ideas, but adapting to having a newborn in the home can be overwhelming. Don’t sweat the small stuff. So what if you’re not keeping up with your meal prep or doing laundry every day like you planned? You don’t have to be Supermom. Cut yourself a little slack and focus on taking care of this new life you’ve brought into the world. **2. Sleep when you can.** You may have heard the suggestion to “nap when the baby does.” That’s definitely true. Your nights won’t go uninterrupted for a while, so take advantage of rest whenever you can get it. Consider taking turns with your partner—one of you can sleep in while the other gets up with the baby. **3. Ask for help.** Don’t feel like you have to do everything on your own. If you have family or friends nearby who can offer assistance, ask them. Chances are, they’d love to help. **4. Talk to other first-time parents.** You may feel like you’re the only new parents struggling, but there are plenty of other people going through the same thing. Reach out to other new parents, whether through friends or even a local support group. You can find sympathy and understanding, plus talking to people outside the house can be helpful. **5. Don’t be afraid to say no to visitors.** Your life has changed drastically, and it’s a lot to get used to. If you need some time alone, it’s okay to limit visiting, even from well-meaning close friends and family. Hosting company can be exhausting even without a newborn, so if you’re not feeling up to it, just be honest and tell someone who asks to visit that now isn’t a good time. **6. Capture the moments.** As a parent, you don’t want to miss a thing, which is why taking photos is so important. A [newborn session](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/capturing-the-joy-with-a-lifestyle-newborn-session/) allows you to capture your child’s first days in the world and gives you something to look back on as they grow and change. **7. Get out of the house.** You may not be able to stray far, but even a daily walk around the block can ease stress and give you a much-needed boost. Plus, exposure to natural light has been thought to help infants develop regular sleep patterns, so it definitely can’t hurt! **8. Stop keeping score.** It’s great to take turns and try to divide the work evenly, but grumbling, “It’s your turn” at your partner at 3 a.m. definitely won’t make either of you happy. Try to be understanding of each other’s needs and limits and help out when you can. **9. Go with your gut.** At the end of the day, every baby and every parent are different, and you have to trust your instincts when it comes to caring for your child. The more you learn and get right, the better you’ll feel—maybe you’ll even want to do all this again someday! **10. Enjoy every moment** As a mom of now a 15 year old and 12 year old, I still can’t believe how fast the time has gone and how quickly they grow up! Take time to slow down and enjoy EVERY. LITTLE . MOMENT! ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

We’ve heard it all before: “Dress for success!” or “Look good feel good!” and even “Dress for the job/life you want.” I’ll be honest—from day to day, your wardrobe choices might not matter that much. But on [family photo session](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/family-children/) day, they matter A TON. As in: your family photo outfits can make or break your entire session! Sounds like a lot of pressure, right? Let me help you take the load of those family photo outfits decisions! Here are a few simple tips to help you make successful wardrobe choices that will result in the portraits of your dreams. ## 1. Keep your session location in mind You are going to choose different outfits for a park session than you are for a beach or a downtown urban setting. A gauzy dress may work great for the beach, while something more chic would do better in an edgy city setting. Gonna be in a gorgeous field with tall grasses or flowers? You probably want your legs covered and want to leave the three-inch heels at home. Once you’ve got your location set, you can choose family photo outfits that are fashionable but also practical for the environment you will be in. ![Family Session | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Lindsay_JRL-31-1-1024x731.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## 2. Color coordinate family photo outfits Mixing and matching is ALL GOOD if you choose just a couple patterns (say, no more than 2 for a family of five) and choose coordinating solids for the rest of the family. Just make sure that some cohesive colors scheme links everyone’s individual looks together. This will allow me to craft a more visually stunning harmony when I create your portraits. ![family session | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Fix_FamilySession-62-1024x805.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ![Family Session | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Mitchell_Family-9-1024x731.jpg "Family Session | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## 3. Get practical with fit and style It’s important to get family photo outfits that fit everyone well and stay in place. No one wants to be tugging the top of their strapless dress or pulling their pants up during a photo session. Not only will this not look great in photos, it will distract from your ability to smile, relax, and be present for your photos. If it doesn’t fit, don’t make it work—take it back! ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/what-to-wear-1024x576.jpg "what to wear - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## 4.

That’s right. The moment you’ve been waiting for with such great anticipation turns into 48 hours (or longer) of doctors, nurses, questions, pokes and prods, answers, challenges, surprises and….at the end it’s all a blur. The Fresh 48 may seem like the longest two days of your life but at the same time…. you will soon long to remember those precious hours after they’ve passed. We need to change that. For you and for your baby. [![Hospital Newborn Sessions](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/KLW_3475-853x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads")](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/fresh-48/) **Don’t worry, I’m here to help.** While you may not want a birth photographer (totally understandable because – hello, personal space) you may consider investing in a Fresh 48 session.

There’s lots to love about this busy time of year, but perhaps the best things about the holidays are family traditions. Making memories of those traditions year after year can be truly magical! Sadly the advent of the smart phone has negatively impacted memory-keeping. Many of us don’t take or preserve good quality pictures of our holiday traditions in action. So, why not schedule some lifestyle family photos to make this season extra bright—and the memories last forever? Here are a few reasons why this in-home photo session is perfect for families during the holiday season. ## Lifestyle family photos capture your family in their natural setting A lifestyle family photo session is convenient because it takes place in your home, where your family is most comfortable. Parents and kids alike feel at ease on their home turf, which makes great photos a breeze. Not to mention, you can score beautiful photos of your home all decked out with holiday decorations. You worked hard on that decor, and now you can enjoy it even after the holidays are over. ## Lifestyle family photos preserve your holiday traditions forever What holiday activities does your family enjoy the most? Whether it’s decorating your tree or the kiddos baking Christmas cookies with Mom, lifestyle family photos catch these holiday traditions and preserve these precious memories for life. From wrapping gifts as a family to catching the kids writing out their letters to Santa, there’s no holiday memory that can’t be made brighter and stronger through photos. ![Lifestyle Family](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/2021-12-01_0001-1024x710.jpg "Lifestyle Family Christmas | Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## Lifestyle family photos capture precious moments with special holiday guests Are Grandma and Grandpa or special cousins visiting for the holidays? It’s a great time to capture rare portraits of all the family together when you’ve got out of town family in your home. Lifestyle photo sessions are flexible and can easily incorporate and “kids and grandparents” or “kids and cousins” segments and provide all of you with portraits you will cherish for years. So, before you deck the halls this season, think about all the special holiday moments you want to capture and treasure with your family. It’s important to document these traditions while you can. After all, those excited kiddos do grow up so fast! Why not gift yourself some gorgeous holiday photos of your family with an easy-peasy lifestyle session right in your home this year? Capture the magic while your little ones still believe with some lifestyle family photos. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

The only lights that should be on are the lights from the tree. **Step 2** **Crank up your ISO!** Since you are shooting in extremely low lighting you will need to push up or even max out your ISO. Don’t stress about theta noise created by doing this. It is better to increase your ISO than have an underexposed image. **Step 3** **Meter off the light hitting their face.** Since you have very little light to work with you have to work with what you got. This may be a challenge but you will want to meter off the light that is hitting the faces. This will insure the faces in the photos are illuminated properly. **Step 4** **Set your white balance.** This one is extermely important. Christmas lights can have crazy colors that tend to reflect onto your child’s face. To avoid this, set your white balance prior to taking the photo so you have less of a headache in post-processing. **Step 5** **Tell your subject to FREEZE.** Because you may need to lower your shutter speed to get a properly exposed image you do not want them to move. HAVE FUN!! ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

There is a lot of excitement that happens in the morning which is why you need to plan the night before! **Tip 1** Have your camera out and ready to go and remember to charge your battery the night before! Go ahead and gift yourself an extra battery or even a battery grip as an early Christmas present. If you have a tripod, make sure its set up and ready to go so you can easily attach your camera and be ready to get into the frame! ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/9055bc03-36ef-44d7-a9e7-f6a73f2435df-1024x682.jpg "9055bc03-36ef-44d7-a9e7-f6a73f2435df - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Tip 2** Tidy up! Now I am not talking about scrubbing the floors and dusting to white glove perfection! Ain’t no one have time for that! What I mean by tidy up is to get rid of as much unneeded “stuff” that would be distracting in the photos come Christmas morning. Shoes, stacks of magazines laying around, random toys and all the Amazon prime boxes you received last minute! Straighten up the throw pillow, blankets and furniture before you go to bed. **Tip 3** Take photos on Christmas Eve! Don’t forget the capture the detailed photos of the night before. Take pictures of Santa’s cookies, the tree before the kids wake up, your children’s stockings full hanging on the mantle. Don’t forget to capture those special traditions. Before my kids get ready for bed they open their Christmas Eve present which is brand new pair of Christmas Pajamas! Giving jammies on Christmas Eve also allows time for a few posed photos that I might not get come Christmas morning! What ever your Christmas Eve tradition is, capture it! ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/KLW_8618-Edit-1024x781.jpg "Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Tip 4** Get in front of the camera! I know this is hard for us Mom-tographers! We forget to hand the camera off, and also tend to be a little self-conscious! Well my friend! When you look back at these photos forty-years from now will you just focus on your messy hair, fuzzy robe, tired eyes or will you see a photo of yourself hugging your babies, snuggling on the couch as you and your child watch someone else opening gifts? Just remember when your babies are grown, you will always have that image of you holding them on Christmas morning! With that being said, no more excuses for not being in the photo! Focus on your kids and the moment and not the camera! If you don’t have someone to hand the camera off to, place it on your tripod and set the timer to take photos every couple of mins. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/IMG_3210-1024x1013.jpg "IMG_3210 - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") Camera Talk **Tip 5** If possible turn off the lights in the room and open up the shades! Get as much natural light coming through as you can. Try to keep the flash off. If there are windows behind your tree move to the side or look for a better angle to take the photo. If you point the camera directly at the windows your photo will come out dark. **Tip 6** Be sure to stand by the tree when the kiddos come around the corner. You want to make sure you capture their faces when they see everything and not be walking behind them. **Tip 7** If you are shooting in manual mode make sure you keep your shutter speed at least at 1/125. This will ensure that your photo doesn’t come out blurry. As a general rule, your shutter speed should never go below 1/60s (though, 1/100s or faster is optimal for catching moving kids). {HINT: the higher the number, the faster the shutter speed: 1/100s is faster than 1/60s}. If you have no idea what I am talking about set your camera on P (Programmed mode)} **Tip 8** Raise your ISO! Most likely your room will not have a enough light early the morning. Don’t be afraid to raise your ISO! ### **Tip 9** To capture the natural reaction on their faces when they discover Santa delivered their favorite toy, be ready to push the shutter at a moments notice. Get down on the ground with them while they are opening presents and shoot quickly and often. You can always delete the unwanted photos later on! **Tip 10** After you have captured the photos you want to tell your story, putt the camera down and enjoy the day! ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

How many times have you had to take a dozen different shots just to get one that you’re happy with? Below are some easy tips that you can try the next time a selfie moment strikes. 1. Double check how you look. Before shooting your next selfie, give yourself a quick once over to check your makeup or for any bits of hair that might be sticking up. 2. Check your lighting. Any good photo needs great lighting so pose in a place that is well lit or has lots of natural light. 3. What’s in the background? We have all seen selfies where the background was filled with dirty laundry or had another person in it. Make sure that your background is flattering. 4. Play with angles. Not everyone looks the same at different angles. Play around with what works best for you and use that going forward. Try taking photos from a left or right angle and from above. Some say that holding the camera just above your eye line is the perfect angle. You can also try angling your shoulders differently for a more flattering effect. 5. Use your neck. To avoid any double chins, extend your neck and chin forward slightly to accentuate your neck and jawline. 6. It’s ok to edit. Once you’re happy with the shot it’s ok to crop it slightly or even add a filter or effect for a more unique selfie. If the background is too distracting, you can even crop it out completely. 7. Have fun with it. While there is a place for your more posed selfies, don’t be afraid to get a little silly, laugh and have fun. If you happen to be doing something interesting such as trying a new smoothie or putting on your snorkeling gear, take a quick shot. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/IMG_6218.jpg "IMG_6218 - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

Whether it is the traditional holiday shoot or a shoot to update the family photo album planning a family shoot can be a bit stressful. You want your family shoot to go smoothly and be enjoyable for everyone. Consider these tips to get everyone more involved and excited about your next family shoot. **4 Ways to Make Your Family Shoot More Fun** ***1. Choose the right clothes.*** Many families choose matching outfits that not all the kids or even their spouse are excited to wear. Instead of choosing matching outfits choose a color palette. This will allow each family member to choose something they are more comfortable in and gives you more options to [add layers and fun textures](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/easy-tips-for-the-best-family-photo-outfits-ever/). You will still get a unified look without everyone wearing the same thing. Not only will this be more fun for everyone in the photo but the finished product look better as well. When you book a session with Kellyn Wilson Photography, you will receive access to my personal online stylist to help plan out wardrobe for the entire family! ![Kellyn Wilson Photography | Family](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Goenen_FamilySession-8-1024x804.jpg "Kellyn Wilson Photography | Family - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ***2. Location, location, location.*** Not only does the right location make for stunning photos it also helps everyone feel more comfortable and relaxed. Choosing a familiar location, especially with younger kids, can keep things light and natural. A location that allows you kids to explore a little and run around freely can be the perfect setting for some precious moments. ![Kellyn Wilson Photography | Family](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Goenen_FamilySession-33-1024x805.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ***3. Bring some props.*** Props are always a good idea to bring to your session but not necessary. Some props I either bring with me or encourage the family to bring to their session are bubbles, chalkboards, blankets or even a kite! Having the right prop can get everyone in the family more involved in the shoot. During your consultation we will go over your questionnaire and talk about what props will be best for your session ***4. Don’t forget your pets!*** Pets are part of the family too, so why not bring them along for your family shoot? Dogs can be very photogenic and your kids will love including their furry family member in their photo shoot. No matter what type of pet you have, animals add a ton of fun not just during the shoot but to the overall images themselves. ![Kellyn Wilson Photography | Family](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Brault-Family-45-731x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

These days, home is also where many of us work and play, as well as make amazing memories with those we love. That’s why as a Lifestyle Portrait photographer I encourage clients to take thoughts of home one step further, and consider it the perfect canvas for a lifestyle family photo session. I absolutely love photographing families in their home environment. There’s something so poignant about photographing a newborn in a room that was designed especially for them, or photographing a father and son playing in front of a fireplace they built together. I love to help my families showcase the magic of an ordinary day spent together in the place they are most comfortable. ![Lifestyle Family | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/KWP-LifestyleFamily-8-1024x849.jpg "Lifestyle Family | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") One thing I encourage my clients to do, is to think about what they love most about their home. What are some favorite spots to play board games or favorite chairs to sit in and read a book with the kids. These are the areas that can be used as the perfect canvas for their family lifestyle portrait session. Whether you are bringing a baby to a just-built home, or you’ve added a sun room for game time to the place you’ve lived in for years, there’s always a special spot to highlight in the family home that is perfect for lifestyle photos. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/KWP-LifestyleFamily-4-1024x819.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") Every family’s story is unique and beautiful, and 99 percent of it occurs in the family home. So, why not make it the backdrop of photos you’ll cherish forever? Some clients balk at the task of getting their homes “photo ready,” but I don’t want that to be a deterrent. You definitely do not need to do a full-house deep clean to hold a lifestyle portrait session with your home as the canvas. I promise I am not going to pull back your shower curtain and check your grout for stains! You really just need to have the selected areas looking clean and neat. Your living room, the nursery, or even the kitchen. Wherever your family has the most fun together. No need to get stressed or hire a house cleaner beforehand, I promise. Some of my favorite ways to photograph families having fun together at home include playing board games, cooking together, or parents and children reading together. And of course, nurseries make amazing backdrops for newborn cuddles during newborn sessions, too. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/KWP-LifestyleFamily-15-1015x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/KWP-LifestyleFamily-38-1024x762.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") I am also happy to consult with clients to help them decide what parts of their home they want to focus on. When you live in your home day in and day out, what’s unique about it might not stick out to you. I can definitely offer a fresh and new perspective to help my clients see their home in a new light. Some things families often choose to incorporate are personal touches they’ve added to their homes: perhaps a handmade sign in one of the kid’s rooms or an heirloom piece of furniture that has brought joy to the family for generations. Often, though, it’s something even simpler: a toy, a book, or a game that kids are obsessed with at this moment in time, for example, that you want to remember forever. It truly is the little things in life that can make the best memories, and it’s best to capture them while you can. Life moves so fast! ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/KWP-LifestyleFamily-18-1024x981.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") In a time when families are at home together more than they have been in years, they are also investing more than ever in making it a truly wonderful place to be. Why not show off the decor and comforts you’ve worked so hard on with a [lifestyle portrait session](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/a-lifestyle-family-photo-session-puts-magic-in-an-ordinary-day/) in your home? Here’s to beautiful memories made, captured, and cherished together on your home canvas—forever. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

You booked your photo session with [Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com) and now you are stressing about what to wear! No fear! I am here to help you from start to finish! Below are my Top 7 Tips for deciding what to wear for your photo session! **What is the purpose of the photoshoot?** This should be your first thought when deciding what to wear. Choose an appropriate outfit for the occasion and something that suits your personality. **Keep the location and season in mind** Where is the photoshoot taking place? [Choose an outfit](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/style-select/) that will keep you feeling comfortably and confident. For example, if you’re on a beach, those new high heels might not be the most logical choice and you might end up looking a bit out of place. ![What to wear to your photo session](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/what-to-wear-1.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Mix and Match** Don’t be afraid to wear patterns or prints for your photosession but keep them to a minimum and try to pair them with solid colors. If you’re having a family photo session for example, have two family members in printed items and two in solid colors. Play with different colors to match the mood and setting of the shoot. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/65294afb902a3fa9e25dbb8f7ad34494.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Make your photos Timeless** You might love that trendy top or pair of pants now but will your photos stand the test of time if you wear that item of clothing? **What to do about make-up?** This would depend on the type of photos you are taking. Fashion shoots will call for more dramatic makeup but for your everyday maternity, family or portrait shoots, keep your makeup natural and to a minimum. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/bbf7e918ab9da22f8c03b2a69924f83f-foundation-colors-liquid-foundation.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Fit is more important then you think** If you already have an outfit in mind for your shoot, try it on before the time to make sure that it fits correctly and compliments your body type. Choose pieces that flatter your form. Wide, loose clothing items accentuate, and can make parts of the body look larger. Instead, choose items that show off waistlines and necklines to give shape to your body. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-09-at-1.34.53-PM-1024x918.png "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **What Not to Wear…Don’t** 1\. MATCH! Please please…gone are the days where everyone is wearing kaki pants and white shirts! 2\. Have everyone in the exact same color! 3\. Have your boys where a stuffy suit and tie and girls in an uncomfortable dress with fluff and frills. If the person is uncomfortable, it will show in the photos! Also, if everyone is looking very formal then the photos will not come across as natural. 4\. Wear shirts with logos or distracting photos on them. What I mean is shirts with the words “GAP”, “OLD NAVY”, comic book characters, etc. This is just distracting for the photo and takes away from the timeless look.

If your senior year was human, it would laugh, cry, question, celebrate and then take a big sigh of relief. It’s true. This year is going to be filled with emotion, planning and checking all the things off your list. With that in mind, it’s a great idea to have your senior pictures taken this summer. ![High School Senior | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/KWP_Eric_Senior-24-1024x819.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") If you (or your mama) are worried about jumping the gun on senior pics, I have news for you. It’s 100% NOT too soon. You should have your senior pictures taken this summer and I’m about to give you five good reasons why. **Five reasons to have your senior pictures taken this summer:** 1. **Check that first box.** As we discussed at the beginning of this post, you’re about to get nailed with a to-do list longer than the restroom line at Coachella. Let’s get the first item checked off that list now. Go ahead, have your senior pictures taken this summer. You will be so glad you did when the school year starts and time is slipping away. 2. **Take advantage of the weather.** You know what happens when school starts. The weather goes from gorgeous to gray in no time flat. Take advantage of beautiful summer sunsets (or sunrises, if you’re an early riser). You will 100% love the outcome of those beautiful sun-drenched shots. 3. **Make the most of your tan**. Sure, you can go to a spray tan booth (ex nay on the tanning beds, please), but nothing looks as natural as a beautiful bronze glow from summertime. Those sun-kissed highlights don’t hurt either! 4. **You’re totally chill.** Okay, mostly chill (I know college selection time and summer jobs can up the ante a little). But, you’re not deep into school work, exams, all-nighters, and non-stop sports. Use this time have your senior pictures taken this summer while you look (and feel) rested and ready for the fun to come! 5. **Embrace that wardrobe.** When the weather is gorgeous and warm, you have SO MANY clothing options. Short sleeves, tanks, maxi dresses, short dresses, shorts, jeweled sandals and alllll the accessories. You will have a great selection of wardrobe choices when you have your senior pictures taken this summer. ![High School Senior | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/KWP_Emma_Senior-1-819x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ![High School Senior | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Jacob_SeniorSession-32-1-1024x819.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **![high school senior |kellyn wilson photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/KWP_Havalyn_Senior-54-1024x819.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads")** **Now that you know why you should have your senior pictures taken this summer…** Let’s get you on the books!

Getting the family together to take those perfect portraits can turn into chaos if not approached correctly. There is usually a lot more to consider when it comes to a family photoshoot since there are members of all ages, which means that there is some extra coordination involved. Below are some family photoshoot ideas and tips to keep you and your loved ones calm and smiling the whole way through. **TIMING IS EVERYTHING** If you have younger children involved in the session, make sure your child is well rested! A rested child makes for happy photos. On that note, make sure that all family members have gotten enough sleep the night before as this helps with the fun and relaxation aspects of the session. **DOS AND DON’TS OF BRIBERY** Get your family excited about the photoshoot instead of offering a reward in return for their cooperation. This tends to lead to forced smiles and an irritated bunch of people. If you do have small children coming along it’s not a bad idea to give the photographer some bribery options in the form of toys or small food items to make those difficult moments a little easier **RELINQUISH CONTROL** As much as you’ll want to direct your children on where to stand and how to pose, it’s best to leave that to the photographer as they know what works best. Not having this pressure will also make you feel more relaxed. **IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT THE POSING** The best photos happen when you’re having fun so joke and play with your children, hold your partner’s hand and just let the moments happen. **PLAN AHEAD** Discuss all of your requirements with your photographer beforehand so that the family photo session can just flow. Let your photographer know if you want specific pictures taken. **KEEP THOSE SUGAR LEVELS UP** If everyone is well fed, the photoshoot will also run a lot smoother. It’s also not a bad idea to take a few snacks and some water along for those who might need it **ENJOY CAPTURING THE MEMORIES!** I would love to help capture memories for your[ family!](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/family-children/) If you would like more information on planning your unique family photo session experience [LET’S CHAT](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/book-your-session/) XO Kellyn ![My sunset family sessions are the perfect way to capture memories for you and your family!](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Lifestyle-outdoor-Scott-Air-Force-base-family-portrait-photography-by-Kellyn-Wilson-header-00005-1024x684.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

Depending on how you feel at this stage of your pregnancy, you may be unsure about whether you want to invest time and money into professional maternity photos. Maybe you’re self-conscious about the way your body looks or maybe you’re just not sure about the cost of a photo session. While it’s most important to make a decision that’s right for you and your personal needs, there are many reasons why maternity photos are definitely worth the investment and are a choice you won’t regret. **Celebrate your pregnancy journey** Pregnancy may not be a phase of your life you enjoy, especially in the last few months. As your body grows larger, you may not want any photos of yourself taken and wouldn’t want to share images with friends and family. It can be a challenge watching your body change so much, and it can also be easy to forget just how miraculous and incredible pregnancy really is. A maternity photo session allows you to focus on the new life your body is working so hard to create, instead of the way you look, and can remind you of the excitement and joy that comes with bringing your child into the world. ![Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Villeneuve_MaternityMini-33-731x1024.jpg "Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Capture the joy and anticipation** No matter how you feel physically, pregnancy is a time of looking hopefully and delightfully toward the future. In the months and years to come, as you focus on raising your new child, you may forget what it felt like to be eagerly awaiting their arrival. Maternity photos can serve as a reminder of those feelings in the years to come. After all, most women only experience pregnancy a few times in their lives, and chances are you won’t regret having a memento of that special time. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Davis_MaternityMini-25-731x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Mark this moment in your family’s growth** I’m a firm believer that you can never have too many photos of your family. So much of life passes by in a blur, and we often forget more than we remember. Whether this is your first child or your fourth, your pregnancy is a great time to get some family photos with not just you and your partner, but your other children as well. If you take time to do photo sessions on a regular basis, you can chart the growth of your family over the years—something your future self and your children will definitely be thankful for. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Davis_MaternityMini-49-683x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Reveal the sex or name of your child** A professional maternity session can be a fun way to announce either the sex or the name of your child—or even both! There are so many fun and creative ways to announce your little one’s name or sex to the world with photos. I am currently partnering with Virginia’s Finest Chocolates and offering gender reveal hot chocolate bombs to those who book a maternity package or newborn package. Contact me for more details! ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/FB-post-.jpg "FB post - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Have an excuse to get all dressed up** Let’s face it: during pregnancy, most of us don’t feel our most beautiful. You may spend a lot of time wearing whatever is most comfortable and a lot less time on your hair and makeup. But maternity photos are the perfect excuse to go all out on your beauty routine, whether that means doing your hair yourself or stopping into a salon to get the perfect hairdo. Pregnancy is a time in many women’s lives when they really need to feel beautiful because they so often don’t. A maternity session allows you to revel in your beauty and strength and to remind yourself of how absolutely stunning you are. **Take time to bond with your partner** One of the coolest things about maternity sessions is the interactions between couples as they celebrate the new life they’ve created. Your maternity shoot gives you and your partner a chance to reflect on the life you’ve built together and how much has changed in your relationship since the beginning. Plus, maternity images are a great way to mark a major shift in the life of your family and in who you both are as you transition to parenthood. ![Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Villeneuve_MaternityMini-21-1024x683.jpg "Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Get images worth displaying** A lot of people have their wedding photos hanging on the walls of their home, but imagine having images on your walls from every stage in your family’s growth—from marriage to your first child all the way down to when you become grandparents. Maternity photos capture a moment in time that’s just as important as your wedding day. You’re welcoming a [new child into your lives and your home](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/schedule-a-new-bump-to-baby-photo-session-bundle-for-your-bundle-of-joy/)—that’s huge! It’s definitely a moment that deserves professional photography, just like your wedding day. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

You’re planning and preparing to welcome your little one into the world and sharing the joy of your news with family and friends. Having maternity photos taken may seem like just another thing to add to your growing to-do list, but a portrait session can serve as a reminder of how beautiful and amazing your pregnant body is. Maternity photos can help you document and remember your pregnancy journey not just in the months before giving birth, but for years to come. Not sure when to schedule your maternity session? That’s why I put together a few tips to help you know when is the best time to photograph your baby bump. **Schedule your session in your third trimester** The best time to take maternity photos is during your seventh or eighth month of pregnancy or around 30 weeks. Once you’ve entered your third trimester, your belly begins to develop more of a nice round shape that’s perfect for showing off in photos. In addition, at this point in your pregnancy, your baby will not yet have begun to move downward, which means your belly will be higher and create that perfect maternity silhouette. ![Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Villeneuve_MaternityMini-33-731x1024.jpg "Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") Schedule your session too early, and your bump may not be as pronounced as you’d like. And if you have photos taken after your eighth month, chances are you’ll be too uncomfortable to pose and smile. For that reason, avoid taking your maternity photos near the end of your pregnancy, after 35 weeks. **Plan an earlier shoot if you’re expecting multiples** If you’re expecting twins—or even triplets—schedule your maternity session for your second trimester. Your baby bump will appear bigger in the second trimester if you’re carrying more than one child. A good estimate is to take your maternity photos around 24 weeks while you can still move around fairly easily. **Keep an eye on that baby bump** While the seventh or eighth month is generally a good time to take your maternity photos, remember that every woman and every pregnancy is different. Pay attention to the changes in your body and the shape of your growing [baby bump ](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/in-home-lifestyle-family-pricing-guide/)to know when is the best time for you to step in front of the camera. ![Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Villeneuve_MaternityMini-21-1024x683.jpg "Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") If this is your first pregnancy and you’re not sure what signs to be on the lookout for, take regular photos of your bump to see how it looks. Many women like to track the progress of their pregnancy with regular baby bump photos, and these images are a simple way to keep track of your changing body and better plan out when to do your maternity session. **Err on the side of caution** If you’re uncertain about when exactly to schedule your maternity shoot and you want to make sure you book your desired photographer, go for an earlier session rather than a later one. The more advanced your pregnancy, the more exhausted and uncomfortable you’ll be. It will be harder for you to move around, change positions, and switch outfits for a photo session. So, if you feel like your baby bump is looking great at six months instead of seven or eight, go ahead and do those maternity photos! Better to take your images early than too late. Just like with most things in life, maternity photos are all about timing. Choosing the right time to schedule your maternity session will help ensure that you’re looking and feeling your best, allowing you to have images marking this huge, wonderful change in the life of your family.

This leads to countless hours staring at the computer screen. For many people, too much time in front of a screen can cause serious health issues with the eyes. Luckily, there is a potential solution for this problem. Blue light (filtering) glasses can stop the effects of eye strain, headaches and fatigue. **If you spend a lot of time on screens, you need computer glasses!** As a photographer, I spend a lot of time staring at the computer editing session after session. The strain on my eyes continued to cause headache after headache! I felt tired and had to lay down every 30 minutes due to feeling dizzy and nauseous. Enough is enough, I though to myself! I decided I can’t just sit here dealing with it, I need to find blue light (filtering) glasses. Of course, they have to be comfortable, they have to actually work, and most important they can’t create a yellow tint that impacts my editing process. **What is blue light?** Blue light is part of the visible light section of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. The primary source of blue light is from the sun. It has a short wavelength, which means it produces higher amounts of energy. Blue light is seen by the human eye (obviously) and studies show that constant exposure causes eyestrain, fatigue, headaches, and sleeplessness. Unfortunately, even after the sun goes down, our eyes continue to be exposed to blue light from many man-made sources. Examples include our computers, smart phones, as well as other indoor sources of blue light, including fluorescent and LED lighting and flat-screen televisions. All of this blue light has a negative effect on overall eye health. **“ Nearly 70% of Americans experience digital eye strain due to prolonged use of electronic devices.”** **– The Vision Council** **Tell me about Blue Light Glasses….** Blue light computer glass are designed to filter blue light. In fact, the glasses also shield the eyes to help protect them from the blue light emitting screens we use. If you’re on a computer daily, always using your smart phone, and watch television, you may also experience dull headaches, irritation of the eyes, and fatigue. I highly recommend getting yourself a pair of blue light glasses. [**Pixel Eyewear** ](https://www.pixeleyewear.com/collections/computer-glasses) Many companies that sell blue light glasses. After trying several different pairs, I came across Pixel Eyewear. I absolutely love my glasses! Believe it or not, the glasses are stylish. And best of all, they don’t have a yellow tint to them. This is very important as a photographer as I don’t want any tint to impact my job of the digital photo editing process. Guess what, Pixel Eyewear also has stylish kids glasses. So make sure you pick up a pair or two and protect their precious little eyes! Another great feature is that Pixel Eyewear’s return policy is amazing! “We have a 30-day risk-free returns for all of our eyewear after the order is delivered. We also offer free exchanges and we provide recommendations based on the fit of the pair you purchased to find a better fitting pair.

If yes, you are probably asking yourself a lot of questions! - What brand should I choose? - Why is there a difference in price? - Do I really need all of these features? - What lenses should I purchase? Don’t worry in this guide I will go over all these questions! Here are a few tips to consider when shopping for a new camera and accessories! ![Camera Guide](https://spark.adobe.com/page/ZNLaY6PSpUnlG/images/99ea2e51-f61b-4f3a-9b12-db6bf23f3951?asset_id=c54ada22-5ecc-41e8-bf65-a2b6265b1f4b&img_etag=9367f890f9fcaf1ff882757343ba8ac6&size=2560) ## What are you using it for? First you need to think about what you are going to use your camera for? Are you looking for something small to throw in your purse like a point and shoot or do you want a big girl/boy camera to take professional photos of your kids playing sports and capturing those canid special moments. ![Camera Guide](https://spark.adobe.com/page/ZNLaY6PSpUnlG/images/b8c8acb7-aaaf-441f-b6a0-6e9710b8355f.jpg?asset_id=9e82e5ec-1b8e-4968-b3f0-c227f693cd40&img_etag=46ebfa30b6e3922e319c4fceaab09512&size=2560) ## What brand? There are so many different brands on the market today! Ultimately, brand comes down to personal preference. My dad gave me my first Nikon camera when I was 5 years old so Nikon has always been apart of my life! I love it! There is however different brands out their like Canon, Sony, Panasonic just to name a few! What I recommend is first looking at the price of accessories that you will need to purchase for your camera. If you are purchasing a DSLR camera then you will need to purchase a good lens to go with it. ![](https://spark.adobe.com/page/ZNLaY6PSpUnlG/images/16c88baf-b307-4c51-a0d9-e95a752870b6.jpg?asset_id=acb122ae-5121-496f-9792-49eed71efa6a&img_etag=18d730df19a2c7aa05f064d09abceb75&size=2560) ## Lenses and Gear A lot of stores will do bundle deals where they will combine the body of the camera along with a lens. Don’t be tempted by this. The lens might be a good one for just starting out but it most likely won’t handle all types of lighting situations. What I recommend is to purchasing just the **BODY** of the camera and the **LENS** separately. By doing this you will be sure you are getting the lens that you want for the type of photography you plan on shooting most of the time. For example, if you are looking for a camera and lens to take photos of your kids playing sports and the bundle deal comes with a 50 mm lens, this lens will be fine for taking portrait photos but not so good for taking sports photos. You will end up having to purchase a different lens to capture the sport photos you want to capture. Reach out to me with the type of photography you plan on shooting the most of and I will help you choose the right camera and lens. ![](https://spark.adobe.com/page/ZNLaY6PSpUnlG/images/fc466f1e-2d2f-4587-8b61-cc866f19348c.jpg?asset_id=f62a4bc1-1982-4f5d-8647-d0b88d94097c&img_etag=41afac62ed7958efd360c778a93947a5&size=2560) If you are looking for a basic good lens to take every day photos of your kids and when you are out and about, then I recommend you purchase a 50 mm or what I call the Nifty 50! This is a prime lens which means you can’t zoom in and out but it will handle all different lighting situations very well! ![](https://spark.adobe.com/page/ZNLaY6PSpUnlG/images/77658030-9456-4ef4-89e1-6b035500fff0.jpg?asset_id=fb76b5d4-edbb-4f4f-b10c-dd4d596f68a1&img_etag=0d816a181012a6d27f1cb0a8b538ab10&size=2560) ## What will your new camera cost you? This is a tricky question! It all depends on the first question of what are you going to use it for. Depending on if you choose a DSLR or point and shoot along with accessories you are looking at spending any where from $500-$1000+. I started out with a basic camera the Nikon D70 which cost around $300 at the time, then moved up to a semi pro camera which cost $1600 and now I have a pro camera Nikon D850 which cost me around $3k. If you are just starting out I recommend not buying the top of the line camera. You won’t need all the bells and whistles that it has to offer. You will get frustrated trying to work it which will cause you not to use it which is not what I want to happen. ## [Copy anchor link](https://spark.adobe.com/page/ZNLaY6PSpUnlG/?fbclid=IwAR38zZ9F9s303Gv7hbgU-gE83Eaez3jC7ePThZ78JyvYkYDDUiy8ZZ01di0#my-top-5 "Copy anchor link")My Top 5 For those just starting out, my top 5 camera’s I recommend are: 1. Nikon D7500 2. Nikon D3500 3. Canon EOS Rebel T7i 4. Nikon D750 5. Canon EOS 800D ## [Copy anchor link](https://spark.adobe.com/page/ZNLaY6PSpUnlG/?fbclid=IwAR38zZ9F9s303Gv7hbgU-gE83Eaez3jC7ePThZ78JyvYkYDDUiy8ZZ01di0#do-your-research "Copy anchor link")Do your research! Make sure you do your research! There are a lot of stores out there offering deals especially during the holidays. Make sure your camera is not an after market product and that it comes with a warranty! You also want to make sure when searching online that it’s not a Gray Market camera. Gray Market cameras are imported and sold by anyone other then the brand itself i.e. Nikon, Canon etc. These cameras might not meet the specifications for US products which means they may not perform as expected. For example: As of 2010, Nikon sometimes marks the boxes of USA products with a (U) after the product name, seen above the UPC on the lower right. If you see an (E), (EP) or (UK) this means you purchased an after market camera! Return and purchase a USA (U) ![](https://spark.adobe.com/page/ZNLaY6PSpUnlG/images/188a035e-83c2-48df-8ce6-76b2a2f8aabc.jpg?asset_id=72ba5d4a-edae-440a-96c1-820d9415a509&img_etag=5b0c9893f8767933d935486beadac816&size=2560) ## Where to shop? There are ton of different stores out there that sell cameras. Amazon, Target, Walmart and Best Buy are just to name a few! Make sure you compare deals and different companies will price cameras differently based on the inventory number they have in stock. Also a lot of companies like to do bundle deals which is nice but you may not need everything in that bundle and could save money purchasing just what you need separately. The store I personally recommend is called [B&H camera store.](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/) They are located in NYC so most likely you will have your items shipped to you. What I love about this store is their customer service and they are an authorized dealer so you won’t have to worry about Gray Market cameras. ## [Copy anchor link](https://spark.adobe.com/page/ZNLaY6PSpUnlG/?fbclid=IwAR38zZ9F9s303Gv7hbgU-gE83Eaez3jC7ePThZ78JyvYkYDDUiy8ZZ01di0#purchasing-a-point-and-shoot-camera "Copy anchor link")Purchasing a Point and Shoot camera There are several key factors to keep in mind when purchasing a point and shoot camera!

COVID and the resulting closings and restrictions have been difficult to adapt to. One silver lining for most of us is that we’ve all gotten a lot of extra family time. And one not-so-silver lining for some of us has been putting on a few extra pounds. I tell ya, those quarantine treats were hard to resist! Despite this year’s ups and downs (pounds or otherwise, LOL), the fact is we are living in an historic time, and those memories of this crazy time need to be preserved, no matter what. That’s why there’s no time like the not-so-normal present to book your [family photo session](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/family-children/). Here’s why you should do it now instead of waiting for “normal” or until you lose those last few pounds. ## 3 Reasons Why Your Family Photo Session Just Can’t Wait ### 1. Your kids are not getting any younger If you’ve been a parent for a year or more, you know that all the clichés about kids growing up so fast are 100 percent true. Childhood skips on by whether we like it or not. And yes: the days are long but the years ARE short! So sure, it’s been a crazy year, but it’s still one to savor if your kiddos are still in the nest. Schedule that family photo session to capture them as they are right now—because you know they’ll be so much bigger in the blink of an eye. ![Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC | Family Session](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Collins_Family-21-1024x682.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ### 2. Your kids love you for who you are Moms, I promise you, when your kids look at you, they do not see that “quarantine fifteen” you may think you’ve put on. They only see their playmate, their confidante, their caretaker and the source of unending love. In a time when the world has felt pretty scary, you have remained their “safe place.” And that, my fellow mamas, is something that needs to be recognized and properly documented through beautiful family portraits, for sure. ![Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC | Family Session](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Collins_Family-48-731x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ### 3. We are not promised tomorrow (so book that family photo session today) If 2020 has taught us anything, perhaps it’s that we are not always in control of what happens in our lives. This year has, sadly, taught some families that life is way shorter than we might realize. Looking at the positive: life is a gift! The time we have with our families here and now can’t be taken for granted, so we must live it to the full. Some opportunities only come around once in a lifetime. So get in the picture and make those memories! Preserve the joy of your family life now, both for yourself and for generations to come by scheduling that family photos session instead of putting it off until “someday when…”. ![Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC | Family Session](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Collins_Family-6-1024x732.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads")![Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC | Family Session](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Collins_Family-9-1024x731.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") It is such a joy for me to capture your family as they are *right this moment*! I look forward to making your session and your portraits one of your very best memories of this crazy year. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Kellyn-00085-1024x740.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

Flowers, jewelry, and other material items are nice but there is only one gift mom will cherish for years to come, and that is the gift of photography! There’s a lot of thought that goes into choosing any gift whether it’s for a birthday, graduation, anniversary or the holidays. Most gifts have a limited shelf life and will usually get placed in the back of a cupboard once the novelty has worn off but photography is not one of these gifts. ***Why Give the Gift of Photography?*** - **It’s Unique.** A photography session is unique to each person and tells a story. Each image depicts a special moment in time and is a gift that will take you back to that moment time and time again. Whether it’s a photography session, picture album or a special picture in a beautiful frame, photography is one of the gifts that can be thoughtful and unique to each individual. ![St. Louis Metro East Family Photographer](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/family12-1024x952.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") - **It’s a classic gift.** Unlike the latest fashion or tech trends, photographs are something you will treasure for years to come. Photographs will never go out of style and in fact, will become more valuable with each coming year. Not only are the images cherished for years but the memories these images bring about will also be cherished. From recalling the good times had with loved ones to the laughs you had with your photographer during your photo session each image will bring about a memory that will always put a smile on their face. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Miller-Family-43-1024x731.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") - **You don’t have to wrap it!** Not everyone can wrap a gift like a pro and having to find the perfect paper can be a hassle. When you give the gift of a photography session you don’t have to worry about finding the tape or scissors. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Weaver_Family-57-731x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") Photography is personal and special and I am here to help you through the entire process, from booking your session, helping you [choose your wardrobe](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/easy-tips-for-the-best-family-photo-outfits-ever/) and finally choosing the images you love!

What once was a sense of normalcy has disappeared and we have been forced into a new way of life that requires us to be still, silent and socially isolated from the world around us. We all handle stress differently. Some of us go into fight or flight mode and become super mom knocking out task after task while others might pull back and detach themselves from daily activities. I admit, I started out feeling good about how my days were going. Working from home was what I do, adding homeschooling to the menu was just another task to add to the many hats I wear on a daily basis. Then, by day ten, my “have it together” days turned into mom survival days. Making sure school assignments were done and kids were fed were my top two priorities. One constant I kept on my schedule was making sure I snapped one photo a day. I want to make sure this time in history is documented and shared through photos that tell my family’s story and what the 2020 Pandemic was like in my home. Now is the time to tell YOUR pandemic story! **How to tell your story with photos** Before you start taking photos, I want you to plan how you want to tell your story. Take a few minutes and reflect on the past couple of weeks. Think back on how you felt when this pandemic started. Then, like a book, start putting your photos in order and see which photos you still have to capture. I’ve created a guide to help the process of telling your pandemic story with photos. The words on the list are meant to guide you through the process and help you develop your ideas. You can capture one photo idea from the guide, all of them or create your own story. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Tell-Your-Pandemic-Story-768x1024.jpg "Tell Your Pandemic Story | Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Before you start** 1. Create a folder on your desk top by going to File > Folder and label it 2020 Pandemic Story. 2. Place photos you took inside the folder so you don’t loose anything. **Tip:** If you took photos with your IPhone, you can “Airdrop” them to your desktop and place in your folder. Simply open your photo app > tap on the photo you want to transfer > hit the upload arrow on the left hand side > press the AirDrop button and find your desktop or laptop. Check your download folder and drag them into your 2020 Pandemic Story folder. 3. Plan your story ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/2020-04-25_0001-1024x861.jpg "Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") #### Print your story Once you have all your photos together you can create a book or collage. **Photo Book**: There are a lot of companies out there that can take your photos and make into a hard cover book. I personally love [Chat Books](http://invite.chatbooks.com/kellynwilson6s7). Chat books is a family owned company that allows you to easily add, edit, and rearrange your favorite photos to create a beautiful photo book. I invite you to check them out and take[ $10 off your first book.](http://invite.chatbooks.com/kellynwilson6s7) Once you create your book and purchase they will send you a link where you can share your book online with friends and family. **Collage:** Another way you can share your story is by making a collage. There are a ton of different collage templates online, as well as apps on your phone that you can download. A couple of my favorites are called **LiveCollage**, **Layout** and **PicCollage**. I also am giving away a FREE collage in my [Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/PICcommunity/). ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/wilson2020-1-1024x768.jpg "wilson2020 - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Share your Story** I invite you to share your photos and story in my private facebook group [The PIC Community!](https://www.facebook.com/groups/PICcommunity/) This is also where the contest is to win a **FREE Collage,** so head over and check it out.

Children love to be creative. Whether it’s finger painting on a Saturday morning or a new spaghetti portrait of the dog, arts and craft projects are a fantastic way to not only get them to have some fun by exerting those creative juices but it’s also great for keeping them busy for a while. Below are four photo craft projects your kids will love. **Frame your memories** There are so many fun frames that you can make with your children that can be used to display your favorite photos. If you’re heading to the seaside for your next holiday, make a point of bringing back a few shells that can be used to create a cute frame. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/images.jpeg "images - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Create a jigsaw puzzle** Choose one of your favorite photos, enlarge it and print it. Stick the photo on some sturdy cardboard and coat it with an acrylic spray to protect it. Cut out some puzzle shapes and let your child put the photo back together again. Here is a great link on how to do this. <https://modpodgerocksblog.com/make-a-photo-puzzle/> **Craft a fridge magnet** Get your child to draw something from their imagination but leave a space for a photo in the picture. Laminate the drawing and attach magnetic sheets or tape to the back for an instant photo frame for your fridge. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Bake-It-or-Make-It-30-1024x731.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Make a mobile** A mobile is a unique way to display your family tree.

I don’t know about you, but I had a few days of post-Christmas blues. All that planning, all that magic-making…and then it’s just…OVER! I only wallowed for like, five minutes, though, because you know what? I received a lot of great Christmas gifts to keep me busy and I’m flush with the promise of an exciting New Year! How about you, Mama? Did you perhaps get a “good” camera for Christmas? Or do you have one sitting around from previous Christmases that you’re kind of afraid to mess with? It’s time to bust out that bad boy, Mamas! I’m ready to make 2020 your best photo year yet with my Let’s Make It Click : Beginning Camera Class! ## Photographs are more important than we know…until it’s too late. Here’s the thing…we are raising the most photographed generation of all time, thanks to smart phones. However, thanks to those same smart phones, we’re also raising the generation with the LEAST printed out photos of their childhoods. Gone are the big family albums that we used to pore through as kids, where our own childhood family memories are preserved. I’m telling you Mamas, we’ve got to bring those albums back! When we create beautiful photos of our kids’ childhoods, we create legacies for them. If you’re like me, you have loved ones that you’ve only been able to introduce your kids to through photographs. It’s heartbreaking, but it would be so much more heartbreaking if I didn’t have those photos to share with them. So I ask you: how will our children’s children get to know grandparents, aunts, and uncles who have gone before if we aren’t photographing our lives *now*? # This is precisely why I’ve created ## [Let’s Make It Click: Beginners Camera Class](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/lets-make-it-click-beginners-camera-class/) I want to give you the courage to take your camera off of the “auto” setting, and start learning what “manual” mode can do for you—and your every day family photos! In just a few simple steps, I’ll teach you how to give your photos that gorgeous blurry background that will make them really stand out. I’ll also show you how to capture each breathtaking detail on your little ones’ faces. In my class, you’ll learn how to get the most out of your “good camera” *and* the investment you made when you bought it. You will walk away confident in your new camera skills, yet without reading a 1,000-page manual. And what’s more? You will have all the tools you need to start preserving your family’s legacy right away. Now, I know you might have some questions, like: “Hey Kellyn, I know you use a Nikon, but I have a Canon! Does your digital photography for moms class cover ALL camera models?” The answer is YES! I have my “main” but I know my way around quite a few DSLRs—and I can show you your way around yours, no matter the brand. As a bonus, I will also show you how to make the most of that smart phone when it’s the only thing you have handy. That’s right—I’ll reveal the secrets of my two favorite smart phone camera apps and show you how to take gorgeous photos with them. We are going to have an amazing class, so reserve your seat today! ### Let’s make 2020 your family’s most photographed year yet—so you can revisit this wonderful year over and over in the future!

It’s strange, this parenting thing. Before the state of total exhaustion sets in, I want to talk to you. Yes, you, the mama or dad-to-be. The one who is eagerly prepping, nesting, and wondering about your new little one. Have you thought about savoring that time? Yes, you need to savor those exhausting hours and days.

After all, you are telling a brand new story, one that will be filled with love, snuggles, late nights, sleepless nights, laughter, firsts, but most of all Joy! Here are more reasons why lifestyle sessions are a must have! 1. **They are relaxed**: You don’t have to worry about being on a schedule. The session is done at your home where your most comfortable and are baby led. This means, we don’t have to worry about the time frame being so rigid. 2. **Your baby is comfortable.** There is no making sure your baby is fed at a certain time, to make sure it is sleepy for those complicated poses. Lifestyle is about documenting real life so baby is comfortable and not bothered by the camera at all. 3. **Each session is truly unique to you and your family:** With the session taking place in your home, it truly is a unique story all about you and your family, and you don’t have to worry about your photos looking like anyone else’s. ![Lifestyle Newborn : Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Lifestyle-Newborn-1024x819.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Newborn photographs are truly family heirlooms** I know that may sound al little dramatic, but it’s the truth.

Whether you want portraits in the back yard where you spend a lot of time playing together or around the table where you have your special family celebrations, a lifestyle family photo session at home can capture the magic of an ordinary day in the life of your family. ## A Lifestyle Family Photo Session Doesn’t Have to Be Stressful Parents can often be super stressed out by wrangling kids to get them ready for a photo session, but lifestyle family photos are taken while you relax and do what you do as a family. These sessions can tell the story of an extraordinary family on an ordinary day – from home, to playing at your favorite park, going to get ice cream, and back again – and can capture the images that remind you why being a part of your family is so very special. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-08_0002-1024x738.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") Take some time to think of what activities your family most enjoys doing together or what activities you would love to have captured in precious portraits that will last a lifetime.

One of the things that overwhelms new parents is all the STUFF that comes with your little bundle of joy! From diapers to car seats to pack-n-plays, little ones require quite a few accessories. Spoiler alert: babies outgrow the gear, bibs, and diapers pretty darn fast. That’s why it’s important to put one more “new mom must-have” on your list: a Bump to Baby photo package! You’ll keep *this* must-have in your home long after the crib and diapers are gone. ![Bump to Baby | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/2019-11-06_0001-1024x596.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## A Bump to Baby Photo Package Lasts Forever A Bump to Baby photo package combines three essential photo shoots into a bundle, bringing you memories you’ll cherish long after your little one leaves your nest. It starts with a maternity session, which captures the incredible experience of growing new life. You will love looking back on these images with joy when you are holding that “bump” in your arms. The next step in the package is a “Fresh 48” session. I’ll visit your child’s birthplace within 48 hours of his or her arrival. There, I’ll capture you and your newborn and all those “firsts” you will want to remember forever. From the first bath to the first meeting with Grandma and Grandpa, a [Fresh 48](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/newborn-fresh-48/) session provides a lasting record of memories you can never get back. Finally, after you’re home and settled, the [in-home newborn session](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/lifestyle-newborn/) will take place as the final part of your Bump to Baby photo package. This session will be all about capturing your little sweetheart in the most precious poses in the comfort of your own home. I’ll also capture those first moments together as a family unit, whether this baby is your first, or a new addition to your beautiful brood. ![Bump to Baby | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/2019-11-06_0002-1024x781.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## A Bump to Baby Photo Package Saves Time and Money In a Bump to Baby photo package, **three sessions** are all bundled to together for you at one price point!

Now that all cell phones have professional grade cameras on them, taking a photo is right in your hands and you may not think it will be worth the price to hire a professional photographer. I mean, why should you hire someone when you can have a friend or a relative do it for you for free on her iPhone? Well, think about it this way, you are looking for an art piece to place above your fire place. You see a painting that you absolutely love. You can either purchase the piece of art that you love knowing it came from a professional artist who is educated and has taken her gift and love of art to paint a one of a kind piece or you can purchase a canvas and some paints and attempt too paint something similar. Which one would you choose? ## ***Below are some reasons why a pro is a better choice*** **Education** There is a reason why Professional photographers are called professionals. Believe it or not there is so much more to photography than pushing a button. Finding the best lighting, knowing my camera inside and out, capturing the perfect tone and moments, knowing where to place my client when the light changes min by min, these are all thing that most amateur photographers don’t have the expertise to find. When I am not shooting or editing, I am going to conferences, attending workshops and seminars, watching webinars, reading blog posts, traveling around the United States just to keep up on this ever-changing field called photography. A professional photographer offers an artistic approach, creative eye and experience that cannot be purchased at a camera store. **Gear** An expensive camera does not automatically result in photographic skills. Just because your friend, co-worker, or relative has a high-speed, top quality digital camera doesn’t mean they know what they’re doing behind the camera. I spend thousands – if not tens of thousands of dollars on good equipment. I am not just running to a big box store and buying the fanciest brand out there on a whim. All my equipment has been purchased after careful research. I also have backups incase my fancy camera breaks ~ but let’s not even say that word! #### Editing that is Worth Every Penny [When you hire me as your photographer](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/things-photographers-wished-their-clients-knew/) you are not just paying me to come out and take photos, you are paying me for my time to edit those photos. The programs that I edit your photos on are pricy and not a service you can do on your smart phone. I spend hours and hours editing your photos to make them perfect. Every single negative, down to the quality of the paper on which they are printed, is controlled for the best possible outcome. You will walk away with having quality images you can admire for decades to come. **Posing and Directing** That’s right, I am not just your photographer, I am your director. Posing and directing you where to go, where to place your hands, when to look at the camera, when to not look at the camera. These are all perfected skills that are required to get the best results while making sure everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera. Ever tried to get friends and relatives, including kids, to stay still and pose for a big group shot? It’s easier said than done. It’s this expertise that only professionals have. **You get what you pay for** If you want a quality product you are going to have to spend money on said product. The same thing goes with hiring a professional photographer. It is best to do your research. Some things to look for when hiring a photographer 1. Make sure your photographer has a [website](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com) and portfolio to view past photos of clients 2. Make sure they are a legal and a legit business. 3. It is best to hire a photographer who has more than 5 years experience. I look forward to working with you and capturing memories for you and your family!

With each passing day, we are working and scrambling to create meaningful experiences that our family will remember. However, the reality of life is this… time passes so quickly that most of us just can’t keep up. Would you preserve this time in life if you could? Hit the proverbial pause button? I know I would. As a photographer, it’s my job to capture those lifestyle memories and milestones. It’s an honor to document the emotion and joy that comes with each stage of life. ***But, also? I see things…*** As I’m culling and editing photos by the thousands, I see laugh lines; authentic smiles; a loving gaze; and, tears of pride and joy. I see your personality, your grandmother’s, your newborn baby’s. I see the small moments captured in time and I want that for you, too. I see things that are precious, timeless, and things you don’t want to miss. **If you’ve been putting off a lifestyle photo session for any reason, let me tell you why you need to jump on board and get it scheduled today.** 1. 1. **Lifestyle photo sessions are different.** Gone are the days of standing in front of a photographer waiting for the cue to smile. We dig in. I want to capture you in conversation. It’s my job and privilege to document how you interact with friends and family. And, in doing that, I will make you as comfortable as possible during your session. Your job is simply to be you. I will be flexible, forthcoming and there for you as we work together to document your legacy and tell your story. No forced smiles in front of my lens. Not now, not ever. 2. **Photos are your legacy.** That’s right, you don’t need words to tell a story. Photos do an amazing job of illustrating a setting; a moment in time; and the emotion that accompanies it all. Some day when your family looks back at the photos you took the time to get, their hearts will smile. Moments and faces otherwise indescribable, will be there like a treasure before their eyes and bound to their hearts. 3. **Once time is gone, it’s gone forever. As I mentioned, above, life is truly a vapor. Our children will only be newborns once. They will only be two, once. We can’t stop time, but we can look back with fond memories. We can thumb through photographs or study a canvas… and engage with what once was. It’s a beautiful thing to be able to look back and smile.** ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/KWP-LifestyleFamily-15-1015x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/KWP-LifestyleFamily-18-1024x981.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **And, if you want to know how a lifestyle session breaks down, I’ll tell you.** 1. I do my best to get to know clients ahead of time with a little Q&A. 2. If you’re having an in-home lifestyle session, I’ll have a detailed prep guide waiting so you feel 100% confident and ready during our time together. 3. Family and mommy & me sessions are 1.5-2 hours. Newborn session length is determined by the baby. Many sessions are 2-3 hours (including outfit changes, diaper changes and feedings).

To help you prepare, use these tips to help you capture those special memories! ### Get your portraits first Just like I always do in my sessions, I tend to get the most important shots first. This is what you need to do right when your kids leave the house. This way you can make sure that you have a photos of them all perfectly made up! If you want a better chance of capturing all the cuteness , dress them up early so you aren’t rushed! ![Halloween Photo Tips and Tricks | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/e50f9a28-e412-44ba-a5c4-f5efd8c64260.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ### Don’t be afraid to boost your ISO ISO controls the noise or grain to your photo. You don’t want to worry about this when taking your photos. The most important thing to focus on is nailing your exposure. So bump up that ISO to 1000 and take your pic! ### **Get low** Get down to your little ones level and capture everything through their eyes. By doing this, you will change the perspective and your photo will tell a much better story! ### Focus on the details Does your Trick-r-Treater have special details to their costume? Make sure you take close up shots and fill the frame with detail telling a story about their costume. For example, in this photo the mom wanted to make sure she captured the details of her daughter dressed up like Dorthy for Halloween. Focusing in on her red shoes was what she wanted to tell a story about. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/6187dc0b-d129-4299-942a-b8cc05e13f67.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ### Interact with your Trick-r-Treater Ask them how much candy is in their bag and take a photo of them all excited looking into their bag. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/cd967993-d0da-4273-9684-042fff6cc9c1.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ### Capture them going door to door Take a photo of them running up to the door and coming back to you excited to show you what they got. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/f90abae5-c1e1-4f44-a5d0-1daf93ae8e16.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ### Put your camera down When you have all the photos you need to tell your story, put the camera down and enjoy the moment of being together. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/86cb4be0-9a41-43f7-9f16-1821d1f3e9d4.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

Some of you may stand in your closet and ponder what to wear others may decide the night before, and others may just grab the first thing they see. Either way, you are making a decision based on the colors you want to wear for that day or maybe based on the weather for the day. All of this goes for choosing the right wardrobe for your photo session. As your photographer, it is important for me to emphasize the importance of wardrobe and how it can elevate your pictures. Photo session wardrobe can go hand in hand with conveying your photographic style. ![What to Wear: Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/SUMMER-WARDROBE.jpg "What to Wear: Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") With every session of mine you will receive a **FREE** online style service called [Style and Select. ](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/style-select/)This service gives you the option to plan out a color palette and type of style you would like for your photo session along with telling you where to shop!

Choose an outfit that will keep you feeling comfortable and confident. For example, if you’re on a beach, those new high heels might not be the most logical choice and you might end up looking a bit out of place 2. **Mix and match.** Don’t be afraid to wear patterns or prints for your photoshoot but keep them to a minimum and try to pair them with solid colors. If you’re having a family photoshoot for example, have two family members in printed items and two in solid colors. Play with different colors to match the mood and setting of the shoot. 3. **What to do about makeup.** This would depend on the type of photos you are taking. Fashion shoots will call for more dramatic makeup but for your everyday maternity, family or portrait shoots, keep your makeup natural and to a minimum. 4. **Fit is more important that you think.** If you already have an outfit in mind for your shoot, try it on before the time to make sure that it fits correctly and compliments your body type. 5. **Try not to go brand crazy.** Wearing too much clothing with prominent brand names just makes you look like a walking ad. Clothing with large graphics on it also doesn’t work well as it will end up being the focus of your photos. 6. **Don’t forget the accessories:** Accessories give your photographs that needed punch! They lend pops of color, personality, and interest. Everybody wears them well and they work for all ages. ![Family Session: Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Snowden_Family-28-1024x731.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") Most importantly, I am here to make the whole process as simply as possible and will be there for you from start to finish!

You have already invested a lot of money into gear now you need to keep that gear safe! Photographers tend to carry A LOT of gear! I often get asked the question “What is in your bag”. I figured it was time to write a blog post to let you know what I am carrying in my camera bag along with what kind of bag I would recommend! **THE BAG** [ShutterbagUSA ](http://shutterbagusa.com/?ref=64) is where I purchased my bag! I absolutely love it! The bag is called the Heirloom! It is such a versatile bag as you can carry it over your shoulder or wear it like a back pack! Specializing in leather camera bags for women, [SHUTTERbag](https://shutterbagusa.com) provides female photographers with the option of a bag with style, function, and durability without compromise. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/1421993757624968047_2235327243-1024x768.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **WHAT IT HOLDS** This bag will hold a TON! These are just *some* of the items in my bag I carry with me on a daily basis. - Two Camera lens (Nikon 24-70 2.8 and 35mm are in my bag 90% of the time) - Flash - Camera body - Camera grip - laptop - wallet - water bottle - business cards - keys - cell phone - + MORE ## My Camera- Nikon D850 My first DSLR was an entry level[ **Nikon D90.** ](https://amzn.to/31lLqHa)This is a great mid-level camera if you are searching for one a beginners camera. After two years of owning the Nikon D90, I decided to upgrade to the [**Nikon D750.**](https://amzn.to/2YPN2HJ) How do you know when you are ready to upgrade? I believe it is when you know what the new camera can do that your current camera can’t. If you are unable to answer that question or are only upgrading because so-and-so has that camera. Don’t waste your money upgrading until you need to. The **Nikon D750** is an awesome camera. It is heavy, durable and easy to control my settings for white balance and ISO. Until you know how to shoot in manual I don’t recommend buying this full-frame camera as there are so many functions you could get overwhelmed. I had this camera for two years and loved it! It wasn’t until the Nikon [**D850**](https://amzn.to/31n2dJV) came out and I realized that I needed a camera with even more low light capabilities that I decided to upgrade. Keep in mind that I still use my Nikon **D750** and keep it in my bag as my backup camera. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/2019-08-07_0001-1024x249.jpg "cameras - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## Lenses I’m one of those people who collects lenses like people collect shoes. I went through a few years where I was buying lenses left and right. I love a new toy. My lenses in no particular order. ## 24-70mm 2.8G ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/nk2470afsu.jpg "24-70 - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") This is my go-to lens for family sessions and if I am going out and need something that is versatile. The*[ **24-70 2.8G**](https://amzn.to/31qdQ2Y)* is also a great lens if you are going on vacation and can only take one lens with you. ## 35mm 1.4G ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/1459248566_735000-1024x1024.jpg "35 - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") If you love lifestyle photography like I do and take a lot of photos indoor the [***35mm 1.4G***](https://amzn.to/31qdUzK) was made for you. This lens is tack sharp and a fantastic prime lens. I love the focal length at 35mm which allows me to include a lot of the environment in my photo while shooting indoors. ## 50mm 1.4G ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/1276103739_585343-1024x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") If you are looking for your **first lens** I *highly* recommend the *[**50mm 1.4**.](https://amzn.to/31lInyP)* I like to use my 50mm 1.4 when I plan on shooting portrait type images. It doesn’t distort the image like the 35mm 1.4 can. ## 105mm 2.8G ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/1276683503_424744-1024x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") My***[ 105mm 2.8](https://amzn.to/2TbCwJu)*** is my go to lens for macro photography. It is also a lens that I use as therapy when I am stuck in a rut and need to rediscover my creative side. Plus it was a great excuse to buy myself flowers! Macro lenses don’t have to be restricted to just close ups of flowers. I will sometimes and I mean only a hand full of times use it on my kids. It too is a sharp lens but something to keep in mind is the aperture. You need to stop down (larger number) a lot to get more of your photo in detail. I also found that it was easier to manually focus with this lens. ## 85mm 1.8G ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/1491497200_838798-1024x1024.jpg "85 - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") My[ ***85mm 1.8***](https://amzn.to/2KnHgZT) is a great portrait lens that I mainly use for taking headshot photos and working with high school seniors. The 1.8 aperture gives me a nice creamy blurry background which makes the subject tac sharp. Have questions?? Just ask! I am here to help! ![Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/1550789184875928798_2235327243-1016x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

Get out on the mini golf course** Nearly every dad loves a good game of golf but miniature golf is an activity that everyone can enjoy and a little friendly competition is always loads of fun. Mini golf is the perfect family outing and the laughter and fun will make for great photos. The golf course will also provide you with a colorful and playful backdrop for all your shots with dad. 2. **Fire up the grill** Summertime is great for being outside so lighting up the grill for Father’s Day is always a great idea. Give dad a break by getting the family to take over the grill for the day. Setup a nice table in the garden or on the deck and enjoy the day together. Good food, laughter and the sunshine will create some truly memorable photos. 3. **Set out for a hike** Warm weather is the perfect excuse to get outside and enjoy a relaxing hike with dad. If he’s a big fan of the outdoors, you could even plan a weekend camping trip in a beautiful forest or near a lake, the perfect backdrop for a few photos with dad. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Estep_FamilySession-39-1024x683.jpg "Kellyn Wilson Photography - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") A father plays such an important role in the lives of his children and being able to look back at moments with your dad is truly something special. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

So, when it comes to getting that special portrait session on the calendar, you definitely want to make sure you get a premium time slot. Here are some key things to consider when you’ve got a senior session on the horizon! ## Consider the climate The mantra “location, location, location,” is not just for real estate. It’s also a key factor when choose the best time to schedule your senior pictures. For example, if you live in Southern California, you’re likely to have more than half of the calendar to choose from when it comes to great weather for an outdoor shoot. However, if you live in Minnesota, you might only be able to count on the summer months! Of course weather is never a sure thing, but if you live in a state with a smaller (or very temperamental) window for great outdoor weather, then book your session early and strategically for the best chance of a successful outdoor shoot. ![St. Louis Metro East Senior Photographer](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/senior5-1024x821.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## Consider the Senior Year schedule If you’ve never been through it before, you may be surprised by how crazy busy senior year can be. From beginning to end it will be packed full of special senior-only events and poignant “lasts.” With all those can’t-miss moments and memories to capture, it’s best to schedule your senior photo session early (maybe even before the school year starts) to ensure you won’t run out of time to get those precious portraits done! Contact me now, even a year in advance, and I’ll be happy to make sure you’ve got a spot on my calendar that will fit into that special busy year. ![St. Louis Metro East Senior Photographer](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Senior1-819x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## Consider your hair and makeup needs Does your senior have a special hair stylist who makes him or her look amazing every time? You’ll want to get on their calendar too, before or as soon as you determine the best time to schedule senior pictures with me. Can’t be scrambling last minute for a quick cut from a total stranger at the last minute, right?? (Photoshop can’t fix a bad haircut!) ![St. Louis Metro East Senior Photographer](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/senior7-818x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") In short…the best time to schedule your senior pictures is NOW! Don’t miss out on the ideal weather, time, and look for your senior portraits simply because you haven’t planned ahead. Your classmates from schools all around your area are scheduling their sessions, so be proactive and get the date set for the senior session of your dreams and photos that will commemorate one of the best and biggest milestone years in a person’s life. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/KWP_Micheal_Senior-5-819x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

Many people believe that my job as your photographer is pretty simple. You just point and shoot right? The reality is that there’s a lot more that goes into capturing the images you love. There are also some things many photographers secretly wish they could come right out and say to their clients. Here are a few examples. **1. I’m nervous too.** We know how important your photo shoot is to you and that you’ve been agonizing over the perfect outfits and spent hours on your hair and makeup. We know you are expecting us to capture you perfectly so that you will cherish the images from our brief time together for years and that is a lot of pressure. While we may be confident in our abilities we get nervous before each shoot as well wanting it to go perfectly for you. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/KWP-Medler-Family-7-1024x779.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **2. I don’t want to fix every little flaw.** One thing that many people don’t realize is that they’re beautiful in their own way and photographers strive to capture this unique beauty in their shots. It’s for this reason that I only make minor adjustments when editing your photos. Yes, Photoshop can work wonders and technically, I could fix every little detail that you’re unhappy with in your photos but this isn’t practical. Do your best to [make yourself picture perfect](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/choosing-your-wardrobe/) and we will take care of the rest. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Sarah_Headshot_Branding-55-1024x819.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **3. I take my pricing seriously.** I price my services according to the [quality, experience and time](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/why-your-photos-should-be-printed-by-a-pro/) I spend with each client. When photographers hear people joke about how high our prices are compared to other photographers, what we hear is that you don’t think we are good enough to charge that price. It makes us doubt our abilities and simply just hurts our feelings. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Miller_PersonalBranding-29-805x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **4. Have fun.** Chances are we’ve seen it all. Kids throwing tantrums, a surprise thunderstorm and wardrobe malfunctions, things can go wrong but don’t stress about them. I will work my magic to make your shoot the best experience for you but this means you need to relax and just have fun. When you are enjoying yourself I can better capture your unique personality and fun-loving nature, which is what I really want to do. When you stress out about your kids misbehaving I end up feeling anxious and that will only affect the way I take your images. No matter what goes wrong simply laugh it off, I always have backup plans and ideas up my sleeve. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Helfrich_LifestyleNewborn-99-1024x683.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **5. Trust Me.** You hired me for a reason. We’re hoping it was because you looked through my portfolio and liked what you saw. It is hard for me to do my best work and make you look your best if you don’t take our suggestions or trust that I know what looks good. I am seeing things from a perspective you cannot see so let me do my job. It is my job to make you look good and take images that you will love for years to come. This is something I take great pride in so trust that I would never ask you to pose in a way that is not flattering. Trust me and I will do everything I can to not to disappoint you. I love what I do for a living and as a photographer and artist, I want to share my passion and joy with the world but sometimes clients can forget that we’re also working professionals. We want to produce the very best results for each and every one of our clients, which is why it’s important that prospective customers know what to expect when working with a [professional photographer](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com). ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Kellyn-00099-1-1024x758.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

Whether it’s your first child or your fifth, those precious first hours in the hospital [with your newborn](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/newborn-fresh-48/) are truly magical. However, those sweet first moments are also the ones that slip by most quickly. They can easily be lost in the haze that comes with recovering from labor and sleepless hospital nights. But, never fear! I have the secret to holding on to all of those priceless moments forever: a [Fresh 48 photography session](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/introducing-fresh-48/). ## What is a Fresh 48 photography session? A Fresh 48 photography session is an intimate photo session within the first 24 to 48 hours after your baby’s birth, in a hospital or birthing center setting. This photo session captures those very sweet “firsts” that you never want to forget: dad’s first diaper change, those tiny, wrinkly wrists encased in a hospital bracelet, and that unforgettable first meeting with older siblings. The beauty of a Fresh 48 session is unmatched. It’s a tender, lifestyle-type photoshoot that forever captures and commemorates those first life moments you can never get back. Let’s be honest, Mamas! These memories can quickly fade away once you return to the hustle-and-bustle of life at home. A Fresh 48 session will help you hold on to them forever. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/KWP-Gina-Fresh48-20-1024x685.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## Why your baby needs a Fresh 48 session A Fresh 48 newborn session is ***beyond*** important for your memories. The resulting photos will make your heart go pitter pat all over again in the years after that sweet newborn smell has worn off. This intimate photo session ensures that you always have access to your baby’s very first precious newborn moments. One look will take you back to when all was new and wonderful and emotions were so strong you could almost touch them. Looking through these photos year after year brings back those newborn sighs, the soft feel of that brand new baby skin, and those impossibly tiny fingers and toes. ![Hospital Newborn Sessions](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/KLW_3475-853x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ## The Fresh 48 Photography Session Experience I’m a mother myself and I know first-hand how important those first newborn moments and memories are. That’s why I strive to make the Fresh 48 experience as effortless as possible for my clients.

This allows you to store the photos on your computer or share them on social media. But if you are planning to rush to the 1-hour photo lab around the corner to have those printed, you may want to give it a second thought. Yes, you have just hired me as your professional photographer to take your photos and you want to save some money by not getting a professional to print your photos. Well my friend, by doing this you won’t be getting the full effect of the time and effort that went into those images. **PROFESSIONAL PRINTING MAKES A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE** So why should you print your photos through me as your photographer? There is a reason that I spend hours editing your photos. I aim to perfect the colors and sharpness of the images so that it is a work of art and not just another photo. The monitor that I use to edit your photos is calibrated with the professional printing company that I use. Your local photo lab down the street (Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreens) is not a professional lab and the person who will print your photos most likely will not have a background in photography or a trained eye. They also most likely have not been trained in color theory, their paper quality/thickness and ink quality is low. ![Kellyn Wilson Photography Blog](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Kellyn-00230-1024x683.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") As your professional photographer, I have a strong working relationship with my professional photo lab. They understand the way that I edit my photos . They use printers that have professional grade paper, inks and machines that you will not find at a regular store. This is why your photo’s will cost a little extra. Trained technicians also monitor the printing process to ensure that you receive the very BEST quality of images. By investing the extra cost in printing your photos through me, you can ensure that they last longer because of the better materials that are used. If you do decide to still print through a non professional photo lab, be sure to click on **“do not color correct”** so your print gets as close to the photographer’s work as possible. Also…this post is not intended to “bash” these big box photo labs. It’s meant to educate…and show my clients the method to my madness! Also…if you do decide you do want to print the photos yourself, check out [www.mpix.com](http://www.mpix.com). Although they aren’t going to get their colors EXACTLY like they would if you went through my lab they’ve been the best I have noticed from experience. ![There is a reason why you should invest in printing your photos!](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/copy-1024x775.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") XO Kellyn ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

Below are some really cute, out-of-the-box ideas that you can use to make your child’s first day of school photos memorable and unique. **Get a shot of the outfit** You’ve spent the time [choosing the perfect outfit](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/style-select/) for this day so why not hang it up somewhere and get a shot of it before they get dressed? Lay the outfit out on your child’s bed and take a shot from above or place it on a cute hanger and hang it against the door. ![Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/9b2e8e2ad0dc95edd621e1b9ec6b4739.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Use a blackboard** Incorporate a cute blackboard with a frame into the photos. Fill the blackboard with facts such as the date, their age or even what they want to be when they grow up. Easels also work really well for this and will give you more space to be creative. Get your child to draw themselves on their first day of school and include this in your photo. ![Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/cad4aeba3d75b3e8b7d3844abd884efd.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Show their progress** While taking a picture on the first day of school is a must, make a point of taking a photo on the last day of school year too. You will be amazed at how much your child has changed when you compare the two photos. Another cute idea is to get your child to pose with their first day of school photo from the previous year to show their progress. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/KLW1241-copy-678x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/KLW_5493-copy-e1533699298622-678x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") By having fun and making this moment a big deal for your children, you will instill confidence in them to prepare them for the day and year ahead. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

With each passing day, we are working and scrambling to create meaningful experiences that our family will remember. However, the reality of life is this… time passes so quickly that most of us just can’t keep up. Would you preserve this time in life if you could? Hit the proverbial pause button? I know I would. As a photographer, it’s my job to capture memories and milestones. It’s an honor to document the emotion and joy that comes with each stage of life. But, also? I see things… As I’m culling and editing photos by the thousands, I see laugh lines; authentic smiles; a loving gaze; and, tears of pride and joy. I see the small moments captured in time and I want that for you, too. I see things that are precious, timeless, and things you don’t want to miss. If you’ve been putting off a lifestyle photo session for any reason, let me tell you why you need to jump on board and get it scheduled today. 1. Lifestyle photo sessions are different. Gone are the days of standing in front of a photographer waiting for the cue to smile. We dig in. I want to capture you in conversation. It’s my job and privilege to document how you interact with friends and family. And, in doing that, I will make you as comfortable as possible during your session. Your job is simply to be you. I will be flexible, forthcoming and there for you as we work together to document your legacy and tell your story. No forced smiles in front of my lens. Not now, not ever. 2. Photos are your legacy. That’s right, you don’t need words to tell a story. Photos do an amazing job of illustrating a setting; a moment in time; and the emotion that accompanies it all. Some day when your family looks back at the photos you took the time to get, their hearts will smile. Moments and faces otherwise indescribable, will be there like a treasure before their eyes and bound to their hearts. 3. Once time is gone, it’s gone forever.As I mentioned, above, life is truly a vapor. Our children will only be newborns once. They will only be two, once. We can’t stop time, but we can look back with fond memories. We can thumb through photographs or study a canvas… and engage with what once was. It’s a beautiful thing to be able to look back and smile. And, if you want to know how a lifestyle session breaks down, I’ll tell you. 1. I do my best to get to know clients ahead of time with a little Q&A. 2. If you’re having an in-home lifestyle session, I’ll have a detailed prep guide waiting so you feel100% confident and ready during our time together. 3. Family and mommy & me sessions are 1.5-2 hours. Newborn session length is determined by thebaby. Many sessions are 2-3 hours (including outfit changes, diaper changes and feedings). Are you ready to preserve time with me?

Photography is not only a way for me to capture memories for my clients but it allows me to show my artistic expression. After giving birth to my son, I started having back issues. There were times that I would have to postpone a session because I was in so much pain. Being a Lifestyle Family Photographer I am constantly bending over to show Mom, Dad, and the kids how to pose for the photos. I would constantly be flinging the camera strap and my camera around my waist so that I could bend over and not have the camera hit someone in the face! I knew I needed to purchase a better strap. Unfortunately, all the ones I tried either didn’t hold up or they were too bulky. There had to be something out there that would hold up, easy to put on, wouldn’t hurt my back and have a feminine touch to it! After searching for months with no luck I was getting very frustrated and discouraged which took the joy out of my photography journey! Then I found the Money Maker by Holdfast Gear! [INTRODUCING THE MONEY MAKER BY HOLDFAST](https://holdfastgear.com/products/money-maker-hand-tooled-hand-painted)! I heard about this MoneyMaker camera strap from a photographer friend of mine. After testing it out I was hooked!! The MoneyMaker is designed to evenly distribute weight around your midline and take pressure off your back!! YES!! Finally, a strap that does what I wanted it to …**TAKE PRESSURE OFF MY BACK!** Best of all I can slide the straps over my shoulders which allows me to be hands-free!

Many seniors tend to feel self-conscious about their appearance because they feel uncomfortable taking photos on their own. Below are my five tips for taking on your senior photo session with grace and confidence and leaving with photos that you will love for years to come. **1. Use your eyes.** Use your eyes to express emotion. When you smile naturally your whole face lights up and your eyes look bright and awake. Before your senior photo session practice smiling in the mirror and use different expressions to see what looks best. ![It is your senior year! Let me help capture your senior photos and customize your session!](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Victoria-Senior-HR-16-684x1024.jpg "Senior Photo Session - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **2. Relax.** Great photos happen when the subject is relaxed and confident. Let the excitement of your senior photo session show through the lens as you take a moment and breathe, relax and just have fun. You may feel silly during this process but we will do everything we can to help you feel more comfortable. ![It is your senior year! Let me customize a session that will be unique to you and your style!](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Senior-3.jpg "Senior Photo Session - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **3. Breathe.** This may sound obvious but breathing is key to capturing a natural look. Take time to practice taking a deep breath while smiling in front of the mirror. Slowly release the air while holding the smile and notice how your face and eyes settle into a natural and relaxed expression. Allow your eyes to “smile” by focusing on the apples of your cheeks pressing upwards. When in doubt, just breathe. ![It is time to book your senior photos! Let's customize a session that is as unique as you! ](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Testimonial_Olivia_Arnold.jpg "Senior Photo Session - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **4. Move.** Staying stationary can sometimes produce a very staged and cheesy look. Just because you are sitting or standing still doesn’t mean you can’t change the angle of your body to create a look that is fresh and inspired. Try leaning into the camera slightly to appear more engaged, shift your weight from left to right, or simply move your chin slightly up and down for different shots as this gives us a variety of facial expressions to work with. ![It is time to book your senior photos! Let's customize a session that is as unique as you! ](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Victoria-Senior-HR-8-635x1024.jpg "Senior Photo Session - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **5. Beautify.** This goes for everyone. Ladies, spend some extra time getting your hair blown out, get your makeup done and [choose an outfit](https://www.pinterest.com/KellynWilsonPhotography/senior-photography/) that makes you look and feel your best. As for the men, take a shower and shave. When you look your best, you feel your best and when you feel your best, you are naturally more confident. Go the extra mile to walk into your senior photo session feeling confident, attractive, prepared, and inspired.

If you’ve recently looked at a photo with disdain then this post’s for you. If you know that you’re going to have a lens pointed in your direction in the near future, below are 6 ways to get better results! **Get to know your Face** This applies to professional photoshoots as well as every day photos. Take the time getting to know your face, how to smile naturally and which side or angle of your face you like better. ![https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/6-ways-to-look-fantastic-in-photos/](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Lifestyle-outdoor-headshot-portrait-photography-by-Scott-Air-Force-east-St-Louis-based-Kellyn-Wilson-00006-966x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Easy on the makeup** While an evening out is a different story when it comes to makeup, if you’re having headshots, family or maternity photos taken, go easy on the makeup. You want some basic coverage but don’t overdo it. You should also only stick to accentuating one part of your face so choose either your eyes or lips but not both. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Lifestyle-outdoor-headshot-portrait-photography-by-Scott-Air-Force-east-St-Louis-based-Kellyn-Wilson-00003-1024x1012.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Facing the camera** I will help you when it comes to posing for photos but in general you shouldn’t be facing the camera head on. Positioning your body at an angle always makes for better photos. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Lifestyle-outdoor-headshot-portrait-photography-by-Scott-Air-Force-east-St-Louis-based-Kellyn-Wilson-00005-963x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Controlling your chin** Photos where your neck is elongated and your chin is pushed slightly forward will lift your face and give it a more angular look. You might want to practice this beforehand in order to get used to it. **Pick your outfit carefully** Put some thought into what you’ll wear to your photo session. Pair bold designs and patterns with solid colors to avoid too much distraction. You should also pay attention to the fit and shape of your outfit. Make sure it compliments you and that you feel comfortable. All clients of mine receive a Prep Guide that goes over this and more! ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/KLW1578-678x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") **Use lighting to your advantage.** This is something that your I will be an expert at but the right lighting can mean the difference between that wow factor and disappointment. Avoid standing directly under a light as this will create weird shadows on your face. This is something I will help you out with because I’m the expert so take my advice when I suggest a specific time for photos. If shooting outdoors, the best light will be an hour before & after sunset. Unless it’s an overcast day, I will always try to get you in full shade so that the lighting isn’t dappled or causing weird shadows on your face. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/20161230-_KLW2836-Edit-805x1024.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") As much as the above tips will help you during your professional photoshoot, always remember to have fun and relax as this will do wonders for your photos.

But if you’re anything like me, you’re always the one behind the camera in family photos and hardly ever in them. Even when we have our family photos professionally taken, I’m always too busy worrying about everyone else and don’t get to relax and enjoy the photo session. The photos also tend to focus more on the kids and I hardly ever get to capture moments of us being ourselves. If this is you, then it is time for you to book a Mommy and Me photo session! I’ve recently been reminded that life is truly precious and filled with moments we sometimes take for granted. I want to be in more photos with my children and this is why I have come to realize how important Mommy and Me photo sessions are. Now is the perfect time to capture memories with your children, regardless of where you or your kids are in life. I want to make this photo session work for you, so whether you want a few photos with your children, or you simply want some memorable pictures of you and your own mother; I am here to guide you. This is your chance to get creative and really make a photo session about you and your kids and the special bond that you share. Bring along anything that will make you all feel comfortable and will help you spend some time together as I do my job. For example, you might want to bring a blanket and some of your daughter’s favorite books so that we can capture your snuggles and story time. Maybe you want to stop and grab some ice-treats with your son or bring along a game that you both enjoy playing. This is all about creating a space where you can enjoy being together so that we can perfectly capture these moments for you. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Lifestyle-outdoor-mommy-and-me-portrait-photography-by-Scott-Air-Force-east-St-Louis-based-Kellyn-Wilson-00002-1024x759.jpg "- Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") I love that Mommy and Me sessions are intimate and sweet with very little fuss. These sessions don’t take very long and will free up your schedule to spend more quality time together. These sessions provide a space where those natural interactions and emotions can play out, resulting in a mini time capsule of your current relationship. You might even want to make this an annual tradition so that you can beautifully document the relationship with your children.

I want you to stop what you are doing right now and take a look at the photos you took from the past year. How many of them were you in? Most likely you will see photos of your kids doing various activities or capturing them in the moment being silly and that is all good but one day they will have families of their own and might ask the question “why aren’t you in any of the photos with me?” I get it, if you are like many moms, you are the unofficial photographer and forgot to pass the camera off so that you can get in the frame! As we enter 2018 and begin a new year of memories I want you to make an effort to record your time with your children. One way you can do this, is by stepping out of your comfort zone and book an In-Home [Mommy and Me Lifestyle Photo Session](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/portfolio/lifestyle-sessions/) with me! **Let me introduce you to Sarah!** [Sarah Pflugradt](https://www.facebook.com/salubriousrd/?pnref=lhc) is a registered dietitian and mom of three hungry kids!

The start of 2018 and the **NEW 52!** What resolutions are you going to make? I get asked that question every year. I sit and ponder about what things I am going to change and what things I can do differently. Sometimes I can stick to my resolution but there is always that one “challenge” that breaks me! You know like when you say you will loose weight and you are doing great until you get offered a delightful dessert and after one bite it has disappeared from your plate! Well my friends, this year one of my resolutions still has to do with the gym but more importantly I am focused on making memories, capturing them in an artistic way, and cherishing each one! I want you to join me on this journey and together we can capture memories together! **INTRODUCING THE NEW 52!** The **New 52** is a photo challenge that starts today! In todays society we have many ways we can tell our story using photos but what we tend to do is not be real. What I am talking about is using one of those filters that makes your photo look pretty! There are Facebook filters, Snap Chat filters, Instagram filters and app filters! These all give your photos a unique and beautiful touch with out really having to learn your camera. Although I love these tools I also realize that **LIFE** is **MESSY** and has **NO FILTERS!** In this challenge, I want you to capture moments that you can look back at and laugh, cry and maybe do both at the same time! I want you to switch your focus and stop trying to capture that “pretty perfect photo” and start capturing **REAL LIFE MOMENTS!** Take a photo of your dog running around your house with snow all over him, your kids crying over spilt milk or jumping on the bed! Most of all start capturing the crazy chaos that life throws at us every day! **ARE YOU IN?** Each week there will be a different theme to follow.

From the first breath they take to the gentle touch of their tiny fingers, those initial hours are an ethereal time filled with awe, wonder, and overwhelming love. It’s in this delicate and fleeting phase that the art of capturing your newborn’s first 48 hours blossoms, allowing you to preserve the beauty of these precious moments forever. Every newborn is a miracle, and their first 48 hours are brimming with unique and indescribable experiences. The bond between parent and child is at its most raw and intense during this time, and documenting it through photography or other forms of visual media can be an incredibly powerful way to immortalize the love, tenderness, and joy that radiate from within. ![Fresh 48 | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Lowery_Fresh48-34-2-1024x683.jpg "Fresh 48 | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") As a parent, your days may blur together in a whirlwind of emotions, exhaustion, and overwhelming bliss. But within that whirlwind lies a treasure trove of memories waiting to be captured. From the gentle caress of your fingers against your baby’s soft cheek to the sweet, sleepy yawns that grace their little lips, each moment is a masterpiece in its own right. By capturing your newborn’s first 48 hours, you create a time capsule of innocence and wonder that can transport you back to those extraordinary early days. These images serve as a visual memoir, reminding you of the details that might otherwise fade with time—the tiny toes, the wisps of hair, and the tender expressions that light up your heart. ![Fresh 48 | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Lowery_Fresh48-13-683x1024.jpg "Fresh 48 | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads")![Fresh 48 | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Lowery_Fresh48-45.jpg "Fresh 48 | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads")![Fresh 48 | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Lowery_Fresh48-39-731x1024.jpg "Fresh 48 | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") In addition to preserving your own memories, sharing these photographs with loved ones can deepen the connection between family and friends. Grandparents, siblings, and extended family members often eagerly anticipate the arrival of a newborn, and being able to share the enchantment of those first precious hours can bring immeasurable joy and warmth to their lives as well. Moreover, documenting the first 48 hours can provide an invaluable gift for your child as they grow older. They will have the opportunity to witness the immense love that enveloped them from the moment they arrived in this world. Looking back on these cherished images, they will see not only their own journey but also the journey of love and joy undertaken by their family. In this age of smartphones and instant sharing, it can be tempting to rely solely on casual snapshots or spontaneous moments captured on the fly. However, entrusting a professional photographer, or even taking a considered approach to documenting these early hours yourself, can elevate the artistry and ensure that the essence of this precious time is captured with care and expertise. ![Fresh 48 | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Lowery_Fresh48-17-1024x731.jpg "Fresh 48 | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC - Kellyn Wilson Photography | Williamsburg,Yorktown, Hampton Roads") Photographs have a remarkable ability to transcend time and evoke emotions. They have the power to transport us back to the moments that shaped us, reminding us of who we are and where we come from. By capturing your newborn’s first 48 hours, you create an enduring legacy that celebrates the beauty of life, love, and the extraordinary bond between parent and child. So, as you embark on this remarkable journey of parenthood, take a moment to appreciate the incredible significance of the first 48 hours. Embrace the beauty that unfolds within this fleeting period and consider capturing those magical moments. For in doing so, you embark on a lifelong adventure of reliving the wonder and joy that began with the arrival of your precious newborn. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/869938549f85f6e55da674508ed3c9c2f5e8fc1800842d60346587d79af82ff1?s=300&d=blank&r=g) Kellyn Wilson Hello!

I’m a lifestyle photographer based in Williamsburg, Virginia, specializing in newborn, family, and brand storytelling. I capture real moments and intentional imagery that reflect connection, emotion, and the stories that matter most both in life and in business. My sessions are relaxed and guided, designed to feel easy and natural so you can simply show up and be yourself. Whether you’re welcoming a new baby, preserving this season with your family, or elevating your brand, my goal is to create images that feel true to you and timeless in every way. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me enjoying a Starbucks mocha latte, spending time with my kids and husband, or cuddled up with our basset hound, Sherlock. I’d love to get to know you, whether you’re welcoming a new baby, preserving this season with your family, or looking to elevate your brand through storytelling imagery. proudly featured on / affiliated with ![5](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/5-1.png "5") ![2](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/2-1.png "2") ![1](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/1-1.png "1") ![4](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/4-1.png "4") ![3](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/3-1.png "3") [### View My Portfolio ](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/portfolio/) [### Investment ](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/pricing/) [### Let’s Chat! ](#contact)# FROM MY BLOG ## GET IN TOUCH ### Kellyn on Instagram [Follow Me on Instagram(opens in new tab)](http://www.instagram.com/kellyn_wilson) [ Thinking about family photos in Colonial Williamsb ![Thinking about family photos in Colonial Williamsburg?

It’s about creating images that feel like you—and give you the confidence to show up consistently in your business.

Campus is alive, everything is still green, the weather is usually beautiful, and—maybe the biggest perk—you’re not competing with every other senior on campus for the same iconic spots. Rose’s session was the perfect mix of everything I love about grad sessions: cap and gown, favorite campus locations, a little personality, and photos that feel like her. If you’re graduating this year, you don’t have to wait until April or May to celebrate what you’ve accomplished. A fall session gives us more freedom to slow down, explore campus, and create something that feels personal to your college experience. 🎓 William & Mary seniors — fall is a pretty great time to get ahead of the graduation rush.

The way Dad’s hand makes those brand-new toes look impossibly small. The way Mom holds her baby close. The way everyone piles together on the living room floor because, for a little while, home feels like its own tiny world. That’s why I love lifestyle newborn sessions. We aren’t trying to make these first weeks look perfectly polished. We’re preserving what they actually felt like — the snuggles, the connection, the big sibling excitement, the tiny details and this brand-new version of your family. Because one day that baby will take up your entire lap, those little feet won’t fit in the palm of Dad’s hand, and big sister won’t remember a life before them. But you’ll have the photographs that show her. 🤍 Your home. Your people.

EXPLORE THE BUMP TO BABY EXPERIENCE ![Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Costabile_LifestyleNewborn-56-copy-1.jpg "Lifestyle Newborn") A SEASON THAT MOVES QUICKLY Pregnancy feels long while you’re living it – until suddenly you’re holding the baby you were waiting for. The hospital days blur together. Then come quiet mornings, feeding and snuggles, siblings meeting the baby, and the slow settling into life at home. Each part arrives, changes, and passes faster than you imagined. The Bump to Baby experience gives your family a way to hold on to those different chapters not just one moment, but the whole beginning of your baby’s story. THE STORY IN THREE CHAPTERS You don’t have to choose just one part of this season to remember. ![Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Frenier_Maternity-37-scaled.jpg "Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC") CHAPTER ONE THE WAIT Maternity Celebrate the anticipation before baby arrives. Maternity sessions feel relaxed and natural – never highly posed or glamorous. Just you, the people who love you, and the quiet wonder of waiting. CHAPTER TWO ### THE ARRIVAL Fresh 48 Document baby’s first hours or days in the hospital – tiny details, parents meeting and holding baby, siblings visiting, the hospital bassinet, wristbands, snuggles, and all of those fleeting first moments that change almost immediately. ![Hospital Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Dutton-2-scaled.jpg "Hospital Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC") ![Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/KLW_0337-Edit.jpg "Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC") CHAPTER THREE ### THE BEGINNING Lifestyle Newborn Document the family at home after baby arrives. These sessions are baby-led, relaxed, and focused on connection rather than perfect posing – the way becoming a family actually felt.

It focuses on the connections and love within your home environment rather than posed studio shots. When should I book my session?*Expand*It’s best to book your session during your pregnancy, ideally in your second or third trimester. We’ll schedule your session within the first two weeks after your baby arrives to capture those early moments. How long does a session last?*Expand*My sessions are baby lead, meaning we go with the flow according to babies schedule. Typically the session will last 1.5 to 2 hours, giving plenty of time for feedings, diaper changes, and cuddles. What should we wear?*Expand*Soft, neutral tones work beautifully for a cohesive and timeless look. Avoid busy patterns and logos, and prioritize comfort. I’ll provide a style guide to help you coordinate outfits for the whole family. Do we need to prepare our home?*Expand*There’s no need to deep clean! I’ll work with natural light and may adjust a few items to create the perfect setup. Focus on tidying spaces like the nursery, bedroom, and living area where we’ll spend most of our time. Can siblings and pets be included?*Expand*Absolutely! I love incorporating siblings and pets into the session. These moments create a beautiful story of your growing family. What if we need to reschedule?*Expand*I understand that life with a newborn can be unpredictable. If you need to reschedule, just let me know as soon as possible, and we’ll find a new date that works. ![Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Shanahan_LifestyleNewborn-72.jpg "Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC") Have more questions? **[get in touch](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/book-your-session/)** ## Product Pricing You will have access to purchase prints and products directly from your gallery.

The Years Are Short. Your family won’t look exactly like this forever. The missing teeth, the little hands reaching for yours, the way your kids fit into your arms. These are the pieces of your life worth remembering. I create relaxed, connection-filled family photographs that let you remember not only what this season looked like, but what it felt like. ## Your family doesn’t have to be perfect for beautiful photos. Your kids can laugh. They can move. They can snuggle you, run ahead, make silly faces and occasionally decide they are completely finished with pictures. That’s okay. My job isn’t to make your family perform for the camera. It’s to create an environment where you can relax, interact with the people you love and let me document what happens in between. I’ll guide you when you need it, keep things moving when little attention spans wander, and give you permission to simply enjoy your family. The result is a gallery filled with beautiful portraits and the little unscripted moments that make your family yours. ![Two women embrace outdoors, one with eyes closed and a gentle smile, the other looking at the camera, green foliage behind them.](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Wood_Family-18.jpg "Wood_Family-18") ![Family Session : Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Wood_Family-36.jpg "Family Session : Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC") ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/plugins/bb-plugin/img/pixel.png) ### The Experience ## Beautiful photos. A surprisingly easy experience. You don’t have to figure it out alone. I guide every family through the entire process from the first email to the moment your gallery arrives. ## 01 ## Plan After booking, you’ll receive my Family Session Guide to help you prepare, along with guidance for choosing a location and planning what everyone will wear. ## 02 ## show up Come ready to spend some time together. You don’t need to arrive knowing how to pose or what to do. I’ll guide you through the entire session. ## 03 ## let kids be kids We’ll create the traditional family portrait Grandma wants, but we’ll also play, move, laugh and let personalities come through. ## 04 ## remember You’ll receive a gallery filled with photographs that preserve this season of your family – the polished portraits and the wonderfully imperfect moments in between. ![2024 fall colonial minis | kellyn wilson photography llc](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Ramey-24-scaled.jpg "2024 fall colonial minis | kellyn wilson photography llc") Family Family Session Includes High-resolution images Private Gallery For detailed pricing information click the link below [ Investment ](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/family-price-template/ "Investment") ![Lifestyle Family Session : Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Thomas_LifestyleFamily-23.jpg "Lifestyle Family Session : Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC") Lifestyle Family Lifestyle Family Session Includes High-resolution images Private Gallery For detailed pricing information click the link below [ Investment ](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/lifestyle-family-pricing-template/ "Investment") ![Extended Family](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Olson-2.jpg "Kellyn Wilson Photography") Extended Family Extended Family Session Includes High-resolution images Private Gallery For detailed pricing information click the link below [ Investment ](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/family-price-template/ "Investment")# FAQ What should we wear for our session?*Collapse*I recommend coordinating outfits with complementary colors and avoiding busy patterns.

I want to chat with you about what to wear to your sessions and why I feel style is such an important component of your photo session. If you are anything like me, trying to find the perfect outfits for my family is an overwhelming and exhausting task! You are trying to find the right colors, the right style but not to **matchy-matchy** and still represent your family’s personality! Most of all you want to **make sure you look + feel great!** oh…add juggling your kids schedule, hubbies to do list, and the dog – yeah, ain’t no one has time for that! Did you know that Wardrobe and Styling can truly elevate a photo, or worst case scenario can completely detract from the most important part of the photo which is YOU! That doesn’t mean I want you to steer away from your family’s style but instead find ways to make your style unique (traditional, retro, romantic) while still maintaining a timeless feel to your photos via clothing choices that allow the **focus to be on your beautiful family** and not dad wearing the sneakers that he mowed the lawn in. **[Introducing Style + Select](https://styleandselect.com/questionnaire/)** When you book a session with me, you will receive a prep-guide that goes over clothing and color suggestions. As much as I would love to be your personal shopper I will leave that to the experts! That is why when I came across style and select I was one happy mama! Imagine having a personal shopper + personal stylist + style guide + Pinterest board all rolled into one! That is what[ Style & Select](https://styleandselect.com/questionnaire/) is all about! **It is AMAZING!** **How does Style & Select work?** After you book a session with me, I will send you an email that has a unique code to enter the website. You will then answer the questions provided in the questionnaire. After you input the information about your family (how many people you are styling, sizes, color preferences) a variety of options-including accessories will pop up for you! If you see something that you like simply click on the heart to save it (you can see just what your entire wardrobe will look like before purchasing) or you can add it right to your cart. When you are done click on the cart and it will take you right to the retailers website to purchase your items! THAT’S IT!! *your done!* No more wasting hours upon hours shopping for the wrong colors/styles just to get it over or if you are like me scrambling in panic mode just to look presentable! Style & Select takes the guess work and the work out of styling your entire family! Can I get an AMEN and HALLELUJAH! **Just a few more things that I LOVE about Style & Select (that you will too!)** 1. **They are session friendly!** What this means is although clothing is on trend, they don’t always photograph well. For example : Off-the- shoulder tops and dresses. Yes they are super cute, but having you will constantly pulling up and down the shoulders while holding your toddler will not make for a fun session. You never want to wear anything that you will be fidgeting constantly and be uncomfortable in. 2. **They are affordable!** You will not have to take out a second mortgage to outfit your entire family! Style & Select pulls options from every type of price range ($10-$80). You will see styles from h&m, target, zara, old navy, torrid, modcloth, express, and much more! **YES, it is totally possible to look and feel amazing with out breaking the bank!** 3. **They are diverse!** Style & Select believes that everyone deserves to look amazing for their session. No matter what your shape and size is they offer everything from newborn, maternity and plus size options. 4. **What not to wear!** If you have questions about this topic [Style & Select wrote an amazing blog post about just this. Check it out! ](https://styleandselect.com/2018/02/24/what-not-to-wear/) I am so excited to offer this amazing service to all Kellyn Wilson Photography clients!

She met every need that we were wanting for our outside shoot in Colonial Williamsburg. I want to thank you for making this experience so wonderful. My son Kenneth had a blast and you listened to everything that he suggested and wanted. Everything was GREAT!! Not to mention when we received our photos and Zip drive that we ordered they were packaged so beautifully!! Thank you Kellyn for taking our son’s photos and capturing these memories for us. We look forward to our spring session for our family portraits!!! ### Kara We had a wonderful experience with Kellyn Wilson Photography. The photo session was well organized and easy! The photographs were beautiful! Highly recommend. ### Amanda We had a fantastic time working with Kellyn. She was super responsive, flexible, engaging and great to work with! She made the process painless, and took fantastic photos! And we will treasure our family photos forever!!! ### Kelly There are so many positive things I want to say about working with Kellyn for my son’s Senior Pictures! I had taken on so much of the mental load of getting senior pix for my unmotivated senior teenage boy/man, I just didn’t know how I was going to make it happen. I feel so thankful I saw Kellyn’s photos in a local Williamsburg magazine, and I knew from the moment I went on to her website that working with her was going to relieve all of my weight. From her website, to her calendaring, to her outreach, to her materials – I was seriously blown away with how professional and detailed Kellyn was throughout the entire process. She made the experience from start to finish so stress-free for me, and also during the photos, she made it an enjoyable experience for my son. Also . . . did I mention the pictures were AWESOME?!? I know I will work with her again in the future and encourage you to do so too! ### Angeline In December, I had the pleasure of working with Kellyn to have some branding photos done for my creative small business. On the day of the photo shoot, she made everything so easy and fun for me. She was professional throughout the process and all of the photos that I received were absolutely wonderful. Kellyn did an amazing job capturing what I do and what my customers can expect. ### Kari We had a wonderful experience with Kellyn Wilson Photography. The photo session was well organized and easy! The photographs were beautiful! Highly recommend. ### Joy My family and I had our sunflower session with Kellyn & she was fabulous. Kellyn is so creative with prop selection and poses, and wonderful with my rambunctious boys. We got our proofs today and couldn’t be happier! So many great pictures that it’s hard to choose. I would recommend her services to anyone. Thanks, Kellyn! ### Tiffany We had our in-home newborn session with Kellyn she was just a joy to work with we all felt so comfortable and she took her time getting shots of my family in some of our favorite spots at home. The pictures are all so beautiful and we will cherish them forever! Thank you Kellyn! We will be recommending you to all our friends! ### Alyson Kellyn Wilson Photography did a fantastic job capturing our family in photos! She processed the photos quickly and even took the time to package them nicely. Her attitude was relaxed and she easily joked with our children! I 100% recommend Kellyn Wilson Photography! ### Brett Newton Kellyn did a wonderful job with our Fresh 48 photos of our sweet boy. She was very professional and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend her! ### Rowena Kellyn is an amazing photographer to work with. Very professional and kind hearted. She knows how to work with the little ones. Very dedicated to what she loves to do. She did something amazing for our family and we are very appreciative of what she did. Thank you again! You just earned a loyal family! ### Jo Kellyn is awesome. I actually had fun taking pictures. Thank you ### Juliana Our family had a great experience with Kellyn! The price is amazing for the service you get, and the photos turned out wonderful 🙂 My 3 young boys loved her entertaining assistant (husband) and she even got some awesome shots of my child who refuses to smile! She made the whole event a really fun experience. ### Amanda We had a great time with Kellyn and our kids were immediately comfortable with her! The photography session was relaxed and fun which allowed her to capture some great photos of our family. We are so happy with our images! ### Desiree Kellyn is an amazingly talented photographer!

They were so prepared, professional and fast! Look forward to working with them again! ### Nicole Kellyn has done our family photos several times , and my daughter’s senior photos just before she moved. They all turned out fabulous ! She is the best and would highly recommend her for any type of photo session. We are going to miss her so much !! ### Marina Good quality work! Very nice and friendly! ### Cathy Kellyn did our family photos. She was warm, funny, and they were a blast. ### Kregan It has been many years since I invested in family pictures. When the opportunity to work with Kellyn came up, I jumped on it. I was so pleased with her kindness, professionalism, quality of her work, and her efforts to make the experience as seamless as possible. She did a wonderful job capturing our family on film. I couldn’t be more excited to adorn our home with her work. Thank you Kellyn! ### Rebecca We did a Christmas mini session with Kellyn. First, I love our pictures! But second, her online presence is fantastic. Easy system to use for scheduling, ordering, etc. The online presence is important to me since I don’t have a ton of time to make phone calls. We had to change our appointment pretty last minute due to a scheduling change. I was afraid we’d have to just cancel and lose our deposit. But Kellyn made herself available at a different time to get us taken care of. Highly recommend! ### Carol Kellyn captured fantastic college grad photos of my daughter and her friends at W&M. I was a little last minute in my request but she was able to find a day/time that worked for both sides. The girls had a great time during the shoot and the pictures are beautiful. Her invoicing process is also very easy to navigate and she was extremely responsive to all of my questions. ### Stephanie We worked with Kellyn for a newborn family photo shoot, and she was absolutely wonderful. During the initial planning phone calls, she was so responsive and provided guidance for the day of. On the day of the shoot, she was patient and captured so many natural, beautiful photos. We were blown away when we received the gallery and could not have been happier with the pictures and experience! We will definitely work with Kellyn again for family photos! ### Tori I HIGHLY recommend Kellyn for all your photography needs! She can really capture the sweet moments that aren’t forced or posed, the lifestyle shots are memories for a life time. You won’t be sorry for choosing her! ### Kari Kellyn Wilson Photography did an EXCELLENT job with our Christmas family photos. She was very amendable to our time and date because we were trying to do it when my stepson was in town. We have two small children, and she did a great job capturing their attention and smiles:-) Highly recommend! ### Amy and Jake Kellyn is a Great Photographer that captured my family memories more than once. Thanks so much! ### Lauren Kellyn Wilson Photography is by far the most relaxed and professional photography business around. Scheduling was simple and quick, photos were amazing, and everything was turned around in a timely manner. I would 100% suggest anybody using Kellyn for any sort of photos! I had head shots done, but am looking forward to booking more in the future! ### Eve Loved working with Kellyn! She took beautful pictures! Her website and emails are so professional and make it really easy to book with her! Thank you! Five Stars! ### Catherine We had a great photo shoot with Kellyn this weekend! She made everything very easy and fun, even for my three kids. She also just sent our sneak peak, and it’s beautiful– exactly how I hoped it would turn out. I would absolutely recommend her, especially for families. ### Kristen Kellyn is such an amazing photographer, and she captured so many beautiful family pictures with ease. When my 7 year old didn’t want to cooperate, she was the one who got him to rejoin ![](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/teb/2/16/1f642.png)🙂 She is kind, patient and very talented. Stop searching – she is the best! ### Charlotte We recently had Kellyn take family pictures for us. She was very professional – from the initial communication to the final delivery – and it was a real pleasure and relief to entrust her with capturing our family memories. On top of that, our pictures turned out fantastic, despite involving two fussy toddlers! Kellyn was very efficient and the turnaround was very quick which was wonderful. I highly recommend her as a photographer! ### Mike Kellyn did an amazing job finding a great spot for our photos and unique ideas to help capture our personalities and memories. I would highly recommend her to anyone-you will not be disappointed! ### Tony We just loved the way she captured our family five stars is not enough! I loved how she got to know us all before the shoot and allowed our family to be our family. I would recommend her to anyone photography work getting done. ### Karen Kellyn did a great job capturing our son’s personality. She was flexible with our requests and figured out how to highlight things that were important to us. She got the pictures back to us very quickly and sent us a very nice care package. I would absolutely work with Kellyn again! ### Lindsey Kellyn and her lovely assistant (her wonderful husband) made our family photo shoot comfortable and fun. Our two year old is full of sass and has a HUGE, independent attitude so I was pretty worried how she’d do, they handle her with such grace and ease.She also did our newborn, coming home from the hospital, photos at the hospital. I had just given birth 24-ish hours prior to her coming, it was simple and quick. She was professional and considerate of my healing body. And most importantly, she captured some incredible moments with our growing family.Kellyn is such an amazing and kind person with a pretty awesome talent! HIGHLY recommend her!!! ### Angie We had an amazing experience with Kellyn Wilson Photography! She made family photos go so smoothly even with a kiddo and a dog. I could not be more happy with the results! It was everything I was looking for in family pictures! Capturing your family at a moment in time, in this season, is so worth the investment! Thank you, Kellyn! ### Gresilda Kellyn came to our house and do our photo shoots. Very professional, she came on time, she answered questions, and she made my kids feel comfortable during the photo shoots. she did a good job and she turned it out as one of our family fun memories. Amazing and friendly photographer! What else could you ask for? I highly recommend her as a photographer. ### Chrissy We have done 2 sessions with Kellyn and will be doing another next month. We have had nothing but amazing experiences. From booking a time and location as well as helping coordinate clothes she is amazing throughout the entire process. She truly cares about helping create memories and it shows in her work. She is patient and professional and makes the process very stress free. I highly recommend Kellyn! ### Michelle Kellyn is very fun to work with! She took our sons pictures in the hospital after he was born and they turned out amazing! I would highly recommend her! ### Cherub If you’re like me and nervous about hiring a professional photographer because your entire family hates to be photographed, then stop what you’re doing right now and book an appointment with Kellyn Wilson Photography!!!I’m serious!I didn’t think I needed professional pictures done because: 1). I had a good camera 2). My kids get nervous being around other people 3). I thought I could do it myself Well she sure proved me wrong!Our session was in the comfort of our own home and she was able to capture some very natural and candid moments with my family. She was also able to do it in a very quick manner… so, if you don’t have much time to spare, she can still work with you. It was all very painless and to my surprise, actually quite enjoyable. Ha!Thank you, Kellyn Wilson!

Any print I order is sharpened individually based on the size and the print medium. A 4″x 6″ glossy print requires a different preparation than a 30″ x 40″ canvas. While sharpening for print isn’t always necessary for small prints, it is essential for large prints, which is why I recommend ordering wall art through me so I can optimize the image for the desired outcome as well as print through a professional lab for the best results. I cannot guarantee the quality of prints larger than 8″ x 10″ that aren’t individually prepared for print.

Class will take place on >>>at >>> Once you tell me “your in” and sign up for class, I will send you an invoice and welcome email with directions and detailed information. Additionally, to ensure that all participants can get the most out of their experience, with the exception of nursing infants, no children under the age of 12 may attend the photo class. ### ![q-icon](https://sparklesocietyworkshops.com/wp-content/plugins/optimizePressPlugin/lib/assets/images/qna_elements/q-icon.png)What’s your refund policy? Seats are limited, all sales are final and refunds will not be given for any reason {this includes no shows, scheduling conflicts, etc}. Please check your calendar prior to booking! ### ![q-icon](https://sparklesocietyworkshops.com/wp-content/plugins/optimizePressPlugin/lib/assets/images/qna_elements/q-icon.png)What kind of camera do I need for this class? While you are welcome to attend with any camera, you’ll be able to fully participate and get the most out of the class if you have a DSLR {a camera with interchangeable lenses} or mirrorless camera with the capability to shoot in manual mode. Some point and shoot cameras have this capability as well. I encourage you to look at your manual to see what your camera can do! You can also google “can a {insert camera model} shoot in manual mode?” to get your answer! ### ![q-icon](https://sparklesocietyworkshops.com/wp-content/plugins/optimizePressPlugin/lib/assets/images/qna_elements/q-icon.png) I have a smartphone that takes awesome photos, can I just bring that to class? I agree, Smartphone cameras have made huge improvements over the years but they just don’t compare or compete with a DSLR or other quality cameras. Additionally, with a smartphone you don’t have the ability to shoot in manual mode, which is what I will be teaching you in class. With that being said, you are better off bringing your big girl camera. Keep in mind that I will be showing you some neat tricks you can use with your smartphone so please bring that with you! ### ![q-icon](https://sparklesocietyworkshops.com/wp-content/plugins/optimizePressPlugin/lib/assets/images/qna_elements/q-icon.png) I don’t know anything about photography…will I be able to handle this class? Absolutely! I’m going to start EVERYONE at the very beginning with how to hold your camera and move on from there! As silly as it sounds, many people who own DSLR’s don’t even know how to hold them correctly. We are going to start at the very beginning and by the end of the class you will be a rock star!

As a photographer specializing in lifestyle newborn sessions, I’ve come to appreciate the magic of capturing these moments in the comfort of your own home. Unlike traditional studio sessions, which often focus on posed portraits, lifestyle sessions aim to document the genuine interactions and emotions between parents, siblings, and even pets, creating a narrative that tells your family’s unique story. **The Essence of Lifestyle Sessions** What sets lifestyle newborn sessions apart is their emphasis on authenticity. Instead of stiff poses and artificial backdrops, these sessions unfold naturally in your familiar surroundings. Whether it’s cuddling on the couch, soothing your baby in the nursery, or sharing a tender moment in the backyard, each photograph captures the genuine essence of your family’s dynamics and the deep bond with your newborn. ![Lifestyle Newborn | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/2024-07-22_0001-1024x247.jpg) **Including Your Whole Family** One of the joys of lifestyle sessions is the opportunity to involve your entire family, including older children and beloved pets. These sessions celebrate the love and connection that siblings and furry friends bring to the newborn’s life, making for heartwarming and candid images that you’ll cherish for years to come. Pets often add a delightful spontaneity and playfulness to the session, reflecting the joy and chaos that comes with family life. **Why Choose a Lifestyle Session?** Beyond the authenticity and inclusivity, opting for a lifestyle newborn session means you don’t need a perfectly styled home. Whether your space is a cozy nest of baby blankets and scattered toys or a serene haven of minimalist decor, what matters most is the love and joy that fill the room. These sessions focus on capturing the tender moments between you and your newborn, rather than on the details of your surroundings. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Snyder-14-1024x731.jpg) **Booking Your Session** If you’re considering a lifestyle newborn session, it’s[ best to reach out as soon as possible.](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/book-your-session/) We’ll schedule a time to chat about your vision and preferences, ensuring we tailor the session to reflect your family’s unique personality and style. You’ll receive a brief questionnaire to help us plan, ensuring that the session is personalized to capture exactly what matters most to you. In essence, lifestyle newborn sessions are not just about creating beautiful photographs; they’re about preserving the fleeting moments and authentic emotions that define the early days of parenthood. They celebrate the messy, joyful, and profoundly moving journey of welcoming a new life into your family. Embrace the imperfect perfection of your home and let us capture the memories that will warm your heart for years to come.

Congratulations! The ironic thing about expecting a baby is this… you truly have no idea *what* to expect. Every pregnancy and baby are different. Every labor, delivery, and first few days are a rush of varied emotions that pass all too quickly. There is one thing that’s constant in all of this…one thing you can expect. YOUR NEW BABY WILL MELT YOUR HEART Baby smell. Baby toes. Baby lips. Baby sounds. Baby snuggles. It’s all so much. And, while your nights will be long…my friend. I will tell you this. Time will now begin passing faster than you ever imagined leaving you with a blurry trail of memories that you wish you could re-visit. Once these first days with your precious babe are gone, you can’t get them back. So, what’s a new mom to do? PRESERVE THEM Here’s where I come in. My specialty is lifestyle portraiture. Lifestyle portraiture includes capturing the energy, emotion, and joy of life as it’s happening. In-home newborn sessions allow me to come to you and preserve the first moments of your new baby’s life, alongside you, in the comfort of your home. There’s no rushing out the door; worrying that you’ll forget something; or trying to settle your baby in an unfamiliar public place. I will take my time, working with your needs and your baby’s needs, to capture the most raw and telling photos of your newborn. As a mama myself, I will provide the utmost care for you and your sweet newborn. I will take all of your needs into consideration to craft the perfect in-home newborn session for you. LET’S START PLANNING I’m here to answer any questions you may have about in-home newborn sessions. If you’re ready to reserve a date in my books, that’s great, too. I’d love to help you work through details as you await the arrival of your precious bundle.

Do you even remember? I need to tell you something. You probably haven’t…ever. From the first moment of parenting, it’s a rush. You have rushing emotions, rushing ideas and, of course, you’re rushing from here to there. There’s virtually no slow down to parenthood. And, even if there was, would you remember what to do with all that down time? Probably not. Don’t blink, though, because the second you do… your kids will be grown and gone and all of those memories will come rushing back to greet you. ## **But, you can preserve them, did you know?** Not your children. You can’t preserve children (I wish)… but you can preserve memories; milestones; emotions and expressions. I offer family photo sessions **(including those with children only)** for just that purpose. I want to help you capture those beautiful moments that are passing by without notice. I want you to have professionally finished photographs that document your baby’s smile; your toddler’s adorable new teeth and mischievous grin; your grade-schooler’s independence, and so on. All of these things, though small and often looked over are meant to be captured. Professional photographs (fine art) are meant to last for generations. Your grandchildren and great-grands will thank you for taking the time to slow down and document history in the making. All of these idiosyncrasies are what make your family unique…and yours. No one else’s family will have the same grins, laughs, and mannerisms as yours. Let’s create a session that not only captures these things, but also is a time for your family to take a break and spend time together. My on-location lifestyle portrait sessions are meant to be relaxing. I will make sure that even the camera-shy ones in your family have a great time while memories are being made and moments are being preserved. ## **So, how long has it been, again?** If you can’t remember, let’s not go any further than now. Schedule your family photo session today so we can bottle up those memories and keep them forever. Contact me for more information or to reserve your session date. I can’t wait to meet you and learn more about your family – and what makes you, you.

This session involves capturing the precious moments and details of a newborn in a hospital setting, typically in the baby’s hospital room or nursery. The name “Fresh 48” refers to the timeframe in which the session takes place-within the first 48 hours of the baby’s birth. This term emphasizes the newness and freshness of the baby’s arrival. Fresh 48 sessions aim to document the **initial bonding moments** between the newborn and their family, capturing the emotions, interactions, and **tiny details** that make this period special (the first diaper changes, breastfeeding or bottle-feeding moments, and other natural and intimate scenes). These sessions are a way to **preserve the memories** of those early hours, allowing families to relive the excitement, joy, and love surrounding the arrival of their newborn. ![Lowery_Fresh48-25](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Lowery_Fresh48-25.jpg "Lowery_Fresh48-25") ![Fresh 48 | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Lowery_Fresh48-39.jpg "Fresh 48 | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC") ![Fresh 48 | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Lowery_Fresh48-17.jpg "Fresh 48 | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC")On **Monday, July 17th** I will announce the winner on my Facebook Page and Instagram. **Session Includes:** All Digital Images Mobile App $450 value **Rules:** - Winner must live within 50 miles of Williamsburg zip code 23185 - Must claim prize within 48 hours - Winner must have done the following: 1.

That’s right. The moment you’ve been waiting for with such great anticipation turns into 48 hours (or longer) of doctors, nurses, questions, pokes and prods, answers, challenges, surprises and….at the end it’s all a blur. The Fresh 48 may seem like the longest two days of your life but at the same time…. you will soon long to remember those precious hours after they’ve passed. We need to change that. For you and for your baby. ![Kellyn Wilson Photography | Fresh 48](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Alvino_Fresh48-27-1024x731.jpg) ## **Don’t worry, I’m here to help.** While you may not want a birth photographer (totally understandable because – hello, personal space) you may consider investing in a Fresh 48 session. Kellyn Wilson Photography would be HONORED to help capture those first very special moments of newborn life for you. This in-hospital photo experience is so much more than a few posed hospital photos. Kellyn Wilson Photography’s Fresh 48 session provides the opportunity to capture the emotion and all of the small and special details that make your new baby unique and perfect. ![St. Louis Metro East Hospital Newborn Photographer](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Newton_HospitalNewborn-43-1024x683.jpg) ## **I’m thrilled to help you remember the Fresh 48.** So, instead of the expected *“blurry 48”* we’re going to look at life with a brand new babe another way. I invite you to message me with questions about how a Fresh 48 session with Kellyn Wilson Photography could light up your life. As you view images from your session your heart will swell, once again, with all that is joyous and wonderful about meeting your baby prince or princess for the first time. It’s so important to capture these memories and weave them into your legacy with high-quality photographic art. Because, as I mentioned, once the Fresh 48 is gone, it’s gone for good. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Alvino_Fresh48-11-1024x731.jpg) [ Hospital Newborn (Fresh 48) Pricing ](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/hospital-newborn-fresh-48-pricing-guide/)[Share](https://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkellynwilsonphotography.com%2Fnewborn-fresh-48%2F) [Share](https://www.linkedin.com/cws/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkellynwilsonphotography.com%2Fnewborn-fresh-48%2F) [Pin](https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkellynwilsonphotography.com%2Fnewborn-fresh-48%2F) 0 Shares --- ### [Lp Profile](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/lp-profile/) **Published:** October 26, 2020 **Author:** Kellyn Wilson **Content:** This shortcode LP Profile only use on the page [**Profile**](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=learn-press-settings) [Share](https://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkellynwilsonphotography.com%2Flp-profile%2F) [Share](https://www.linkedin.com/cws/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkellynwilsonphotography.com%2Flp-profile%2F) [Pin](https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkellynwilsonphotography.com%2Flp-profile%2F) 0 Shares --- ### [THANK YOU/ HOSPITAL NEWBORN!](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/thankyouhospitalnewborn/) **Published:** January 30, 2023 **Author:** Kellyn Wilson **Content:** Thanks for signing up!

There is nothing worse then showing up for a photo session in clothing that you are uncomfortable wearing. It should be casual enough for you to move and not feel restricted in. Try to keep in mind each family member’s personality and choose items accordingly. If your daughter hates dresses, now is not the time to fight the battle. **Tip 2: Consider your background** Since your photo session will take place in studio decorated for Christmas, consider the color scheme of red and white. The bed comforter will be white so you don’t want to come dressed with a lot of white or you will blend into the bed. I always suggest that mom pick out her outfit first and then pull colors from what is in her outfit for the others in the family. ![pic](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/pic.jpg "pic") ![Reindeer Family Matching , Christmas Shirt For Family, Family Christmas Matching Tops, Personalized for Christmas](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Reindeer-Family-Matching-Christmas-Shirt-For-Family-Family-Christmas-Matching-Tops-Personalized-for-Christmas.jpg "Reindeer Family Matching , Christmas Shirt For Family, Family Christmas Matching Tops, Personalized for Christmas") ![3 Holiday Outfit Themes for Family Photos - Pinteresting Plans](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/3-Holiday-Outfit-Themes-for-Family-Photos-Pinteresting-Plans.png "3 Holiday Outfit Themes for Family Photos - Pinteresting Plans") ![Unknown](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Unknown.jpg "Unknown")**Tip 3: Limit wearing prints to 1-2 family members** It can be so easy to get wrapped up in the festive prints and awesome graphics. My advice …Keep it Simple! After all, the people you are sending the cards to are far more interested in seeing how you (or most likely your little ones) have grown and changed over the past year. Avoid dressing every member in your family in plaid. Too many prints and patterns distracts from the real purpose of the picture – your family! **Tip 4: Pick a focal point** Choose one person to wear a print or texture and build your wardrobe from there. This person doesn’t have to be the focus of every photo, but it is good to start with an item you can build off of. **Tip 5: Use Texture in Unexpected Ways!** If you choose to come dressed in dress clothes, here’s a tip for you. A tulle skirt, a gleaming metallic shoe, or a denim jacket paired with a lace top or dress will add an element of surprise to your images. Layers, Layers Layers!! They work well and look AWESOME on camera! **HEAD TO TOE** Jammes: Fun christmas socks or slippers are great but I love bare feet so if you can’t find the above moms, this is a great way to treat yourself to a pedicure! Dress Clothes: Remember to dress down to you and your family’s feet! No scuffed Reeboks for boys, but fun shoes like Converse, “boat” shoes, or boots. Same for girls, no Dora crocs, but more traditional Mary Janes or boots work best! **Tip 6: Accessorize** Adding accessories like hats, scarves, necklaces helps add character to the family. Be careful not to go overboard. You want to bring attention to your family, not distract from them. **Tip 7: Test it out** Before your photo session, lay all your clothing out and see how it looks. Think about if you need to make any changes, and what types of colors could be in the background. Feel free to text me photos if you have questions. (757-751-0571) See you soon!

Let’s preserve this time, shall we? ![Senior | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Kenneth_Senior-48.jpg "Senior | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC") ![Senior | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Reyburn-40-scaled.jpg "Senior | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC") ![Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jake_SeniorSession-21.jpg "Kellyn Wilson Photography | Senior Portrait")## **Let’s capture all of this, authentically.** My senior portrait sessions get down to the core of who you are. You won’t just sit down in a field, wait for me to snap the button and call it a day. Oh no, my friend. Your senior portrait session is just as unique as you are, and designed around you. During your session, I’ll take my time to capture authentic emotions and expressions. I want the world to see you how those who know you best see you. ![Senior | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/webCampbell_Senior-scaled.jpg "Senior | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC") [ Senior Session Pricing ](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/senior-pricing-template/)[Share](https://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkellynwilsonphotography.com%2Fseniors%2F) [Share](https://www.linkedin.com/cws/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkellynwilsonphotography.com%2Fseniors%2F) [Pin](https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkellynwilsonphotography.com%2Fseniors%2F) 0 Shares --- ### [In-Home Lifestyle Family](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/lifestyle-family/) **Published:** January 12, 2018 **Author:** Kellyn Wilson **Content:** Life is a vapor, dear friends. With each passing day, we are working and scrambling to create meaningful experiences that our family will remember. However, the reality of life is this… time passes so quickly that most of us just can’t keep up. Would you preserve this time in life if you could? Hit the proverbial pause button? I know I would. As a photographer, it is my job to capture memories and milestones. It’s an honor to document the emotion and joy that comes with each stage of life. ## **If you’ve been putting off a lifestyle photo session for any reason, let me tell you why you need to jump on board and get it scheduled today.** ![Your family is unique why not capture those moments and preserve them for years to come! ](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/KWP-LifestyleFamily-35-1024x787.jpg) *Lifestyle photo sessions are different.* These sessions take place in your home and incorporate everything about your family using your home as the background. I will capture your family, just as they are, doing activities you all love. Gone are the days of standing in front of a photographer waiting for the cue to smile. I want to capture you in conversation. It’s my job and privilege to document how you interact with family. And, in doing that, I will make you as comfortable as possible during your session. Your job is simply to be you. I will be flexible, forthcoming and there for you as we work together to document your legacy and tell your story. No forced smiles in front of my lens. Not now, not ever. ![Lifestyle Family | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/KWP-LifestyleFamily-8-1024x849.jpg) ***Photos are your legacy.*** **That’s right, you don’t need words to tell a story. Photos do an amazing job of illustrating a setting; a moment in time; and the emotion that accompanies it all. Some day when your family looks back at the photos you took the time to get, their hearts will smile. Moments and faces otherwise indescribable, will be there like a treasure before their eyes and bound to their hearts.** ### **![Lifestyle Family | Kellyn Wilson Photography LLC](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/KWP-LifestyleFamily-38-1024x762.jpg)** ### Are you ready to preserve time with me?

With that being said, it is never too early to book! If it is winter and you know you would like a session in the spring, just let me know and we can start planning! [Is there a booking fee?](#) [*Expand*](#)YES! There will be a $100 Non-refundable retainer fee to reserve the day and time of your session. This is not an extra fee, and will be taken off the balance of your entire session. [How far do you travel?](#) [*Expand*](#)For on-location (outdoor) shoots, I am willing to go anywhere within 35 miles of Williamsburg. Any location outside of these limits will be subject to an additional charge of $.54/mile as part of the agreement. [Where should we have the session?](#) [*Expand*](#)I am a natural light photographer so your session will take place outdoors unless you have booked an in-home lifestyle session with me. Outdoor sessions will take place in the evening or early morning. I have several places I love! We will discuss location when you book your session, however, if there is a park, garden, lake or other location that you love or has sentimental meaning, by all means we can do it! [What should I wear?](#) [*Expand*](#)Upon booking your session, you will receive a prep guide that goes over what to wear. While I leave that up to the client, based on their own personal taste, I do offer suggestions for you in the prep guide. In general for family photos, pick three colors, one being neutral (like white, black, beige, ect), then you can form everyone’s wardrobe around those colors. I am here to help you through the whole process so feel free to text me photos, call me or we can arrange meeting to go over your wardrobe choice. [We have a family pet that we would like in our family picture … can we bring them?](#) [*Expand*](#)Sure, just let me know ahead of time! It is also ideal that you bring things to keep your furry friend fairly controlled, as well as a spot to keep him/her if pet gets out of hand or you want photos of just the humans 🙂 I do suggest that pets be included in outdoor sessions in warmer weather. [How long does it take to get our pictures back?](#) [*Expand*](#)Generally it takes anywhere from 2-4 weeks but this depends on the time of the year. I treat every photo as if it were my own family, so I take it very seriously! In order to ensure the best quality, I try not to rush like a mad women and rush my creative process! That time also is due to the fact that at the time of your shoot I am usually in the process of editing at LEAST two other sessions, and I edit in the order the sessions have taken place. I do post sneak peeks on my Facebook page for those that sign my model release. [Will you upload my photos to Facebook?](#) [*Expand*](#)I do not upload your entire session to my Facebook page. Clients are usually very eager to see their photos, so I ask in my model release if you would like a sneak peek posted on my Facebook page. As long as I receive your permission I will post sneak peeks of your session within 48 hours after your session. [Can we get the original unedited photos?](#) [*Expand*](#)Nope…I reserve the right to edit and release only the images that I deem creditable as professional in quality and within Kellyn Wilson Photography’s standards. It would be like asking a painter to give his rough draft sketch! It doesn’t do justice to the art, the model, or artist. [What type of editing do you do on the photos?](#) [*Expand*](#)My editing process is more of an enhancement of the photo. While some photographers can change body type, color of hair, scenery and so on, I do NOT do this to my photos. My editing generally involves color adjustments to contrast and lighting, skin smoothing, stray hair removal, ect. I can’t tell you how many times a mom comes to me saying my toddler just scratched their face or got a boo boo the day before the session. Don’t PANIC! These are the things that I can easily edit out if need be! I will never edit to change the real appearance of you or your child! [Is there a time limit for viewing my gallery and ordering prints?](#) [*Expand*](#)Yes, your password to view your gallery and choose your images will expire within one week from receiving your gallery. If you need more time please contact me and I will extend the date. After six (6) months, all images will be purged from photographer’s hard-drive, except as needed for promotional purposes, to be determined by photographer at photographer’s sole discretion. Photographer is not responsible for loss or damage to the digital files due to circumstances beyond photographer’s control. [Will my photos come with your logo on them?](#) [*Expand*](#)Your gallery will come with two albums one for PRINT and one for SHARE. The album titled SHARE is the one with my name and logo on the photos. These are the photos you can share on social media. [Can I order prints?](#) [*Expand*](#)Yes! Although you will have a print release to print the photos yourself, I only guarantee print quality through Kellyn Wilson Photography. There is a difference in print quality and color with outside printing. I have several different packages, materials and print sizes for you to choose from. Check out my website for more information. You can also schedule a consultation and I will help you choose your prints!

As a wife of an active duty service member, I truly appreciate the dedication and hard work your service member has put in. My main goal is to photograph these ceremonies in a timeless manner, in way that will allow you to display them in your home and office to commemorate your accomplishment. TIP: A lot of the locations in the area don’t allow for flash photography, so to hire a photographer that is proficient in low light photography is an absolute must! # Military HomeComing As a military spouse, I understand the importance of having this special time in your life captured. After being through several deployments and welcome home ceremonies myself, there is nothing more emotional than seeing the reunion of family back together again! I offer this special service to all branches and their families that are welcoming their service member back home! **Please specify the following in your email:** **Date and time of homecoming When your spouse is leaving** **Homecoming Location**[Share](https://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkellynwilsonphotography.com%2Fportfolio%2Fspecial-photography%2F) [Share](https://www.linkedin.com/cws/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkellynwilsonphotography.com%2Fportfolio%2Fspecial-photography%2F) [Pin](https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkellynwilsonphotography.com%2Fportfolio%2Fspecial-photography%2F) 0 Shares --- ### [(dup) Mentoring](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/mentoring-2/) **Published:** February 19, 2020 **Author:** Kellyn Wilson **Content:** ## KWP ## Mentoring ![Kellyn-00260](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Kellyn-00260-1024x797.jpg "Kellyn-00260")### I love photography!

Don’t let someone else tell it. ## ” A BRAND IS NOT JUST A LOGO, IT’S THE OVERALL IMPRESSION AND EXPERIENCE YOU GIVE TO YOUR CUSTOMERS. YOUR BRAND EXPRESSES THE VALUE YOU PROVIDE. IT’S YOU!” ### Amy Locurto ### Personal brand photography is an intimate, powerful experience like no other. It is, simply, photography for entrepreneurs that captures what you want people to see about YOU. ## ## ### ## Because you *are* your brand, and your brand is: ### Your power ### Your story ### Your ambition A personal brand photography session with me will perfectly capture all the things that make you and your brand stand out. It’s the perfect blend of artistry and practicality, providing you with three months’ worth of gorgeous, story-telling images that can be used *specifically* to advance your online and social media presence, thereby advancing your business. These **three months** of gorgeous digital, social media-ready images are an extension of your business’ biggest asset: ## YOU You’re about to have in your hot little hands the tool that will finally allow you to do what you’ve been wanting to do your whole professional life: **be in more than one place at one time.** While you’re out at a meeting landing new clients, your personal brand images are on your website and social media accounts, bringing in new leads for you to pursue. If you already have a significant digital footprint, these new digital images will remind your followers why they love following you. If you’re looking to expand your social media presence, these specifically targeted images will help you to draw and focus the eyes of new prospective customers. ## Investing in Images = Investing in Your Business This investment in your business tells the story of your brand and tells others why you stand out from the competition. The truth is, your followers want to know more about *who you are* so they can know why they should trust you with their business. They want to feel like they know *you*. Personal brand photography can help you establish this intimacy with potential customers, establish you as an expert in your field, and show the world that you take yourself—and your business—100% seriously. Let me capture images that show every aspect of who you are, with all the attention to detail that show your customers exactly why you’re the best at what you do. I’ll take the time to get to know you with a pre-shoot questionnaire and consultation so I can properly focus my lens on the authentic **YOU** that your customers need to see. My sessions are totally customizable to meet your goals and needs. ## Here’s How it works!

[Headshots](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/professional-headshots/) **Published:** May 14, 2018 **Author:** Kellyn Wilson **Content:** ## **Update your headshot and business photos before it dates you!** Has it been months or maybe years since you’ve thought to update your headshot? It’s possible your headshot is really a bathroom selfie in disguise or maybe it doesn’t exist at all. My friend, we are living in the age of digital marketing and if your face isn’t in the game, consider your business unseen (literally!). Taking the time to update your headshot is important, and I’m going to give you five good reasons why. 1. **You want to gain trust.** Let’s think this over, if you have an opportunity to do online business with two people. One has a smiling profile image and the other has none, who are you going to pick? That’s right. You’re going to pick the person you can see. You’ll relate to a smile and sincere facial expression way before picking Mr. or Ms. No-Photo. ![professional headshot session](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/KWP-Mandy-Headshot-14-1024x819.jpg) 2\. **You want to establish your brand.** Who’s hiding behind that logo? Show clients and prospects who they’re dealing with. You *are* your own brand, and using your own smiling face to portray that across social media is how the world will get to know you. Consumers will find familiarity in your face and, as a result, an added layer of trust. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Sarah_Headshot_Branding-55-1024x819.jpg) 3\. **You want to be unique.** Consumers have many options when it comes to choosing a service provider. Use your headshot as an opportunity to stand up and out from the crowd. Be sure to use a photo that features a friendly approachable smile and is consistent across social media. ![Headshot Session](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/KWP-Monica-Headshot-17-1024x819.jpg) 4\. **You’re starting fresh.** Did you just take on a new role or new career altogether? Put your \*current\* face forward with updated headshots. Even if you haven’t changed occupations, it’s always best to make sure your headshot reflects the way you look, dress, and present in yourself public (well, most of the time anyway). Let’s make sure your photo represents your current hair color and branding so you can stay consistent across social media. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/KWP-Candice-Headshot-5-1024x819.jpg) 5\. **Your current headshot is a selfie.** While rear-facing cameras and Instagram filters have amazing capabilities these days, nothing tops the quality of a photo taken in studio or on-location with perfectly balanced lighting; bokeh for days; and flawless retouching. ![](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/20170423-_KLW6640-1024x766.jpg) Now are you convinced it’s time to update your headshot? I thought so. I would love to help you a positive step forward in marketing yourself in a simple yet valuable way.

Im Kellyn the face behind Kellyn Wilson Photography! I am a Lifestyle Portrait Photographer that specializes in Family, Newborns, Seniors along with Business Branding Sessions. People often ask me if I bring my “big camera” everywhere I go. While I probably should, I don’t. Like most of you, I’ve come to rely on my smartphone camera. While my DSLR and pro lenses can do a lot of things that my smartphone can’t, my phone’s camera is just so convenient. It’s always in my pocket or bag and I don’t have to think about keeping an eye on expensive equipment when I’m out and about with my friends and family. Plus, my smartphone does a pretty darn good job of capturing the everyday moments of my life. I’ve put together some of my favorite tips and tricks for making the most out of your smartphone camera. I hope you enjoy them! ![cd55eb6b-2f51-4dbb-a13d-0adb32a2d9f6](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/cd55eb6b-2f51-4dbb-a13d-0adb32a2d9f6.jpeg "cd55eb6b-2f51-4dbb-a13d-0adb32a2d9f6")### TIP 1 ## Stand still & use two hands for stability If you feel like your smartphone pictures lack sharpness, the solution could be as simple as holding your camera with two hands and standing still. We’ve all held our phone out in front of us with one hand to take a picture. Sometimes we even do it while walking. Stop! Whether you’re shooting in portrait or landscape mode, holding the phone in two hands and resting your elbows against your torso for stability will give you the best chance of taking a sharp picture. The camera shutter isn’t released until you take your thumb *off* the shutter button on the touch screen. Try pressing the shutter button before you frame your shot and then gently release the button. This is especially helpful when shooting indoors in low light because it eliminates the impact of your finger pressing the button and potentially making the camera shake. **Try This:** The volume + button on the side of the phone can also be used to release the shutter and greatly decrease camera shake. ![Maternity Mini | Kellyn Wilson Photography](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Davis_MaternityMini-49.jpg "Maternity Mini | Kellyn Wilson Photography")### TIP 2 ## Look for the light With the limited setting on smartphone cameras, the amount of available light also plays a part in taking sharp pictures. The more light there is, the better your smartphone camera will be able to combat shutter lag and freeze motion. It’s difficult to take a sharp picture of a baby crawling in a dim living room but if you move outside during the day, you’ll get a nice sharp image. If you want sharper, less blurry pictures go somewhere with good, natural (from the sun, not a lamp or overhead light) light. You don’t necessarily have to go outside. Move close to a window or an open door. Good light makes all the difference between a mediocre and a great photo. I would go as far as to say that good light is more important than an interesting background or subject. If you’re shooting a portrait, avoid sunny and direct light on faces. This kind of light causes harsh shadows and squinting. If this is the kind of light you have to work with, try putting the sun behind your subject. This will give you the opportunity to play with sunflare and create backlit images. When possible, look for open shade along the side of a building or under a tree. **Try This:** Put the sun both in front of and behind your subject and compare the two images to see what a difference the right lighting can make to an image. ![IMG_6904](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/IMG_6904-scaled.jpg "IMG_6904")### TIP 3 ## Turn off your flash While the flash on smart phones has improved quite a bit over the years, you can’t change the fact that it’s just a small and not very powerful LED light. If you’re shooting at night, use the camera app’s exposure slider to brighten the photo (see Tip 6). **Try This:** Take a photo in low light and then take the same photo using the exposure slider to compare. ![9f3d1c0c-2cac-4646-85d9-928a8b505c95](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/9f3d1c0c-2cac-4646-85d9-928a8b505c95.jpg "9f3d1c0c-2cac-4646-85d9-928a8b505c95")### TIP 4 ## Use burst mode for action shots Burst mode is great for when you are trying to photograph a moving subject such as a running animal or toddler or a someone playing a sport. By snapping images in quick succession, you’re more likely to get a shot that’s in focus and you may even have several keepers to chose from. Burst Mode is available on iPhone 5s and up. To access it, just hold down the shutter button (or volume + button) and the iPhone will continuously take pictures until you lift your finger again. **Try This:** While holding down the shutter button, you’ll see a counter at the bottom of the screen that tells you how many images you’ve taken. ![7ec2f49b-d443-42d8-bc3c-79f048fb45b5](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/7ec2f49b-d443-42d8-bc3c-79f048fb45b5.jpg "7ec2f49b-d443-42d8-bc3c-79f048fb45b5")### TIP 5 ## Touch your camera screen where you want to focus Chances are, at one time or another you’ve had your smartphone camera focus on something other than what you would like to focus on. To prevent this, tap and hold on the spot you want the camera to focus until you see the yellow AE/AF Lock alert. Once that pops up, the automatic exposure metering and automatic focus metering have been locked on your subject. **Try This:** Take one image without locking focus – then try pressing your screen to lock focus. ![7717282e-96b7-460a-b49b-078ec8aa7389](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/7717282e-96b7-460a-b49b-078ec8aa7389.jpg "7717282e-96b7-460a-b49b-078ec8aa7389")### TIP 6 ## Slide the exposure meter to lighten and darken images When you point your camera at a subject or scene, it does it’s best to get you a properly exposed image. You’ve probably noticed though that sometimes it does better job than others. Sometimes our smartphone cameras want to make our images too dark (underexposed) and sometimes they’re too bright (overexposed) When this happens, you can fix it before taking the picture by adjusting the yellow exposure slider next to the focus square. Just tap the spot on the phone screen where you want to change the exposure and then use the sun icon to increase (slide up) or decrease (slide down) the exposure. **Try This:** Take a photo at Sunset and increase the exposure by tapping on the screen. ![5693ac85-6bb3-475d-b57d-1f3623b41bbf](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5693ac85-6bb3-475d-b57d-1f3623b41bbf.jpg "5693ac85-6bb3-475d-b57d-1f3623b41bbf")### TIP 7 ## Turn on HDR Auto iPhones have a feature called High Dynamic Range, or HDR. HDR allows you to take pictures that have high contrast light sources (for example, a bright sunset against a dark mountain) and better capture both the light or the dark area of the picture without losing details. The idea is that the resulting image will be truer to what the eyes sees. It does this by taking three pictures, low, medium and high contrast in quick succession and then blending them to create a final HDR image. HDR is a good choice for stationary images with interesting lighting. Don’t try to use it for action shots though. There’s a good chance that when it blends the three images together, it won’t be sharp. You can manually turn HDR on or off from the Camera app, but if you have an iPhone 5s or newer, you can just switch it into HDR Auto mode. In HDR Auto, when you point your camera at something, the iPhone’s camera sensor will determine if the image might need HDR correction. **Try this:** Take a photo without HDR and then take the same image again using HDR. Compare the images side by side to see the difference. ![6cd63e64-dbb0-4608-b747-02c5c5ed2f90](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/6cd63e64-dbb0-4608-b747-02c5c5ed2f90.jpg "6cd63e64-dbb0-4608-b747-02c5c5ed2f90")### TIP 8 ## Don’t take every image from the same spot Composition is one of the most important aspects of photography and also, probably one of the most taken for granted. How you frame your subject and compose your shot ultimately determines how memorable and interesting it is. A lot of times, we see something that we want to take a picture of and take 15 images of the same thing. Moving a few feet to the right or to the left, getting higher and getting lower can totally change an image and give you a series of unique and interesting images instead of dozens that are almost identical. Changing your perspective can also help eliminate distracting background elements like cars and other people. It’s important to pay attention to the whole scene. Nothing ruins a portrait faster than a lamp post or street sign coming out of the top of your subjects head! A few steps to the right or left or getting a little higher or lower is all you have to do to get rid of distracting background elements. **Try This:** Take a photo – then move a few steps one way to try and eliminate distractions in the background. Compare the images to see how a few steps makes a big difference. ![Thompson_Fresh48-38](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Thompson_Fresh48-38-scaled.jpg "Thompson_Fresh48-38")### TIP 9 ## Get close And get closer Sometimes the surroundings are part of the story and we want to include them in the image. Your best friend in front of the Eiffel Tower, your daughter playing in the waves at the beach, etc…Sometimes the surroundings aren’t important though and can actually be distracting. Are we looking at the couch? The clutter on the coffee table? Is it the car in the background? Or is it that cute baby? Getting close to our subjects and filling the frame with them can make the resulting image more intimate and help clearly define them as the focus. **Try this**: Stand where you would normally stand to take a picture and take one. Now take two steps closer. Take another shot. Now, try getting as close as your smartphone camera will allow you to get and take another. Look at your shots. Which is your favorite? ![IMG_6779](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/IMG_6779-scaled.jpg "IMG_6779")### TIP 10 ## Use an editing app to make your photos pop There are a lot of apps on the market that can be used to edit images on your smartphone. Many people use Instagram or other apps that apply filters to the entire image. While there is nothing wrong with using filters, if you’re putting them on top of an image that is not exposed properly or with incorrect white balance (color) your picture won’t look as good as it could. Two of my favorite editing apps are Snapseed and PicTapGo. Snapseed allows you to correct exposure and color for the entire image or to make adjustments to specific parts. PicTapGo includes filters that correct exposure, contrast and color. **Try this:** Take your favorite iPhone photo and run it through one of the apps above. Share your photo with others to see what they think! ![KELLYN W](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/KELLYN-W-150x150.png "KELLYN W")[Share](https://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkellynwilsonphotography.com%2F10-quick-tips-to-better-photos%2F) [Share](https://www.linkedin.com/cws/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkellynwilsonphotography.com%2F10-quick-tips-to-better-photos%2F) [Pin](https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkellynwilsonphotography.com%2F10-quick-tips-to-better-photos%2F) 0 Shares --- ### [10 tips to better photos using your smartphone!](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/10-tips-to-better-photos-using-your-smartphone/) **Published:** January 4, 2019 **Author:** Kellyn Wilson **Content:** # Want to take better photos with your smartphone?

As you are approaching your due date, your “to-do” list will slowly be getting longer and longer. There is only so much you can do to prepare for the birth of your baby. No matter how prepared you think you are, there will always be surprises that pop up! Making sure your bags are packed and that you have all the necessities should be the last thing you worry about. That is why I came up with this hospital bag check list for you. I remember with my second child how unprepared I was. I was scheduled for a c-section and she decided to come a week before my date. My number one priority was to make sure I had someone available to take care of my son, that I didn’t think about anything else. Having this check list handy would have definitely helped! Not just for me but for my hubby as well! Check it out and then print out my handy PDF to keep on your refrigerator along with all the other sticky notes you have plastered on there! ## **For you:** - Comfortable pajamas with a top that you can button up or pull down if you plan on nursing. - Birth plan (It helps to print a couple copies or post it somewhere visible, so that you can make sure your doula, midwife, doctor, nurses, and anyone else who is helping to care for you sees it.) - Robe for quick throw on when people come to visit - Comfortable Nursing bras - Slipper Socks with grips on the bottom - Cotton underwear (Bring maternity underwear or other pairs that you don’t mind getting ruined) - A comfy outfit to go home in (something loose and easy access for nursing - Charger for your phone and any other devices - Toiletries (Don’t forget your toothbrush, toothpaste, face wash, pads, and moisturizer) - Chapstick - Dry Shampoo is a must - Your own pillow (boppy pillow for nursing) and extra blankets for hubby - Healthy snacks and water bottle - Breast Pump if needed - Create a play list of calming music - Books, magazines, or a laptop or iPad to watch movies on - Photo ID - Insurance card - Credit card - Cash - Any necessary hospital paperwork ## **For baby:** - Car Seat installed. You will not be able to drive your baby home without it properly installed. If you’re unsure how to install it yourself, you can make an appointment at your local highway patrol office and they will assist you. - Clothes baby to go home in. It would help to bring both newborn and 0-3 month size so you can be sure one will fit. Remember that babies can’t regulate their internal body temperature the first couple of weeks so pack something warm. - Receiving blanket or swaddle - Baby mittens to keep from scratching their face - Baby nail file - Baby book if you would like their footprints for keepsake. - Diaper bag - Newborn diapers [ PRINT OUT YOUR CHECK LIST ](https://www.canva.com/design/DADS2IvJe4A/view) ![KELLYN W](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/KELLYN-W-300x300.png "KELLYN W")[Share](https://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkellynwilsonphotography.com%2Fget-ready-hospital-bag-check-list%2F) [Share](https://www.linkedin.com/cws/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkellynwilsonphotography.com%2Fget-ready-hospital-bag-check-list%2F) [Pin](https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkellynwilsonphotography.com%2Fget-ready-hospital-bag-check-list%2F) 0 Shares --- ### [Stress Free Feedings-Foods to avoid while nursing](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/stress-free-feedings-foods-to-avoid-while-nursing/) **Published:** January 18, 2019 **Author:** Kellyn Wilson **Content:** # Your Guide to Stress free feedings ### Foods to avoid while nursing Whether you nurse, use formula or do a combination of the two, feeding a newborn can be stressful. Are they getting enough? Are they crying because they are still hungry? Is the breast milk or formula upsetting their tummy? Every single baby is unique in their own way. We suggest consulting your Pediatrician, Doula or Lactation consultant with any concerns. If you’re nursing, you may find that some foods that you eat, don’t agree with your baby. For this reason, we recommend that moms keep a bland diet 24-48 hours before your session and that they eat comfort foods, such as bread, pasta, potatoes and whole grains to keep your baby comfortable. This list is a helpful guide of common foods to avoid while nursing. These foods typically affect babies under 6 weeks. As they get older, introduce foods one at a time to see how they are accepted. Please use this list at your own discretion and consult your doctor when needed. ## Citrus Acidic foods and drinks such as: ![cq002373](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/bb-plugin/cache/cq002373-landscape.jpg "cq002373")#### CRANBERRIES ![KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/bb-plugin/cache/conventional-lemon-landscape.jpg "KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY")#### LEMONS ![KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/bb-plugin/cache/Blistered-Peanuts-landscape.jpg "KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY")#### PEANUTS-nuts in general [ ![220px-Pineapple_and_cross_section](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/bb-plugin/cache/220px-Pineapple_and_cross_section-landscape.jpg "220px-Pineapple_and_cross_section") ](#)#### [PINEAPPLE](#) [ ![KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/bb-plugin/cache/8143FLAy6GL._SY355_-landscape.jpg "KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY") ](#)#### [STRAWBERRIES](#) [ ![KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/bb-plugin/cache/instant-pot-spaghetti-sauce-landscape.jpg "KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY") ](#)#### [SPAGHETTI](#) ![grapefruit](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/bb-plugin/cache/grapefruit-landscape.jpg "grapefruit")#### GRAPEFRUIT ![KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/bb-plugin/cache/Generic_Tomatoes1-landscape.jpg "KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY")#### TOMATOES / KETCHUP ![KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/bb-plugin/cache/No-Bean-30-Minute-Chili-horizontal-by-The-Whole-Cook2-landscape.png "KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY")#### CHILI ![KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/bb-plugin/cache/Oranges-landscape.jpg "KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY")#### ORANGES ![KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/bb-plugin/cache/keto-chocolate-bar-broke-landscape.jpg "KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY")#### CHOCOLATE ![KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/bb-plugin/cache/mexican-landscape.jpg "KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY")#### TACOS/SPICY/MEXICAN FOOD ## Gassy Vegetables such as: ![KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/roasted-asparagus-horiz-a-1600.jpg "KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY")### ASPARAGUS ![KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/41xa2gPjcCL._SY300_QL70_.jpg "KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY")### ONIONS ![KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/broccoli_header-800x533.jpg "KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY")### BROCCOLI ![KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY](https://kellynwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/41nZ3l1hWvL._SX355_.jpg "KELLYN WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY")### CABBAGE Getting your baby on the right formula and identifying foods that don’t agree with your baby may take a little bit of time. Once you figure it out, you and your baby will be happier. It is very important to understand that we believe in baby led newborn sessions, which means that we never force or deny a feeding. Newborns should be fed before the session starts, but if your baby is hungry, there is plenty of time to stop and feed them. I hope that you are finding these tips helpful!

It is Kellyn Wilson’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites. ### Website Visitors Like most website operators, Kellyn Wilson collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Kellyn Wilson’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Kellyn Wilson’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Kellyn Wilson may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website. Kellyn Wilson also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on kellynwilsonpics.com blogs/sites. Kellyn Wilson only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left. ### Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information Certain visitors to Kellyn Wilson’s websites choose to interact with Kellyn Wilson in ways that require Kellyn Wilson to gather personally-identifying information.

However, Kellyn Wilson does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. ### Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information Kellyn Wilson discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Kellyn Wilson’s behalf or to provide services available at Kellyn Wilson’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Kellyn Wilson’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Kellyn Wilson will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Kellyn Wilson discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Kellyn Wilson believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Kellyn Wilson, third parties or the public at large.

You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Kellyn Wilson may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy. ### Ads Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies.
