Shoot guide

Thanks again for signing up for our Christmas sessions this year. We are deeply grateful for your trust and we can’t wait to photograph your families! :)

Since Hey, Bébé began in 2020, our promise has been the same—to create for our client families both the experience and resulting photos that are fun, natural, and heartfelt. You can definitely expect the same for your Christmas photos, but we’ll need you help. On shoot day, as we guide you through your session, we’ll need every member of your family to be wholly present, just be themselves, and simply enjoy the whole thing! That’s when we’re able to capture the most magical of moments and smiles. 100% natural, 100% heartfelt.

Easy-peasy, right? For those with younger children, you may also bring members of your household to help make them comfortable and engaged throughout your session. You may also bring some of their favorite possessions—toys, books, or what have you—that may be used to call their attention or that they themselves can hold on to while being photographed. As much as possible, though, we prefer objects that won’t stand out too much so we get more seamless photos.

Speaking of seamless, below are our suggested color combinations for each of our 2 backdrops. Our recos are only for color combinations, so please feel free to go with the specific styles you’re most comfortable with! Some of our suggestions will also work with both setups, perfect for those of you who would prefer not to change outfits anymore. :)

Thank you and see in a few weeks! :)
