  • We know that some photographers excel at working with young children. Others work better with pre-teens and up. But without a doubt is the challenge of working with a family that has both teenagers and toddlers. The silly games and antics don't work well with the older kids while the younger kids aren't yet voice-activated. In this video, we'll demonstrate how we bridge this gap and create a fun and successful session for everyone. As a HUGE bonus, we're including all of our steps on how we cull and edit this session. Watch as we quickly cull the chaos in little to no time at all. Then, take note of how we're able to effortlessly edit the session in less than 20 minutes because of the sound shooting techniques we employed while working with our family.
  • We all know that working with dad can be tricky during a family session, but you can really create memorable photography through exceptional play. Getting dad involved is easy when you’re able to create opportunities for fun and laughter.
  • It’s mom who usually sets up the family photo session, so it’s really important you focus on her and her relationship with her kids. Keeping the session moving along helps to create real, authentic, and genuine smiles for everyone.
  • Toddlers definitely have strong and independent minds of their own, so why force them into doing things they don’t have any interest in? Rather, let them “lead” the session and follow them into their world while documenting the adventure.

    Full Day In-Person Mentoring

    $1,499.00
    Imagine an entire day dedicated exclusively to your photography journey—a unique opportunity where industry experts share insights, troubleshoot challenges, and reveal insider tips to propel you forward. This goes beyond ordinary learning; it's about a personalized transformation. Unleash your creative potential, refine your business strategy, and elevate your craft through our exclusive 1-on-1 photography mentoring with Twig & Olive. Step up to our personalized mentoring sessions, placing your artistic vision and professional growth at the forefront. Whether you aspire to enhance your business and marketing strategies, fine-tune your editing skills, master studio management software, explore camera technology, or optimize your computer and storage systems, our mentoring adapts to your needs. Dive deep into the specifics that matter most to you, from crafting bespoke guides, refining shooting techniques, and working with real couple and family models.  The advantage of the full day of mentoring over other options is that we can work on multiple topics and take an intense dive into what's holding you back. If practice makes perfect, then practice we shall. We'll refine the workflows so they become second nature. The models we work with will allow us to get the perfect angle so we're ready for paying clients. The camera will be a confidently used tool and not something to have to guess, check, and hope. Meet Doug, a distinguished photography educator with a master's degree in education. His commitment to setting achievable learning goals for each mentee reflects a genuine passion for your success. If one-on-one mentoring isn't your preference, explore online learning, attend conferences like WPPI or Shutterfest, or catch Doug at your local PPA chapter conference. Note: "1-on-1" mentoring accommodates solo business owners or partnerships with two individuals. Groups: Each participant from separate businesses must purchase a mentoring session with topics tailored to the collective needs.  Travel: Our mentoring services extend from Madison, WI to any location on our calendar. For destinations not listed, a travel fee will be applied based on distance, ranging from $50 to $1000.
