Benefits of Professional Hair and Makeup for Family Photos

There are many benefits of professional hair and makeup for family photos in addition to giving you a boost of confidence that will shine through in your images with your family!

As a Virginia Beach family photographer I take care of so many small details so my clients can enjoy the BIG PICTURE. One of the main components of a stress-free family portrait experience is professional hair & makeup for Moms on their family photo session day!

The heart of the business that is Chelsey Kraus Photography is to serve busy Mommas that are usually busy serving their families. This is so you can actually ENJOY your family portrait experience. 

The Benefits of Professional Hair & Makeup for Family Photos

One of the components of my signature family session experience is providing complimentary professional hair and makeup on session day for Mom! 

At Chelsey Kraus Photography, I believe Moms should put themselves first on family portrait day! You found your dream photographer; checked all the calendars to pick the perfect day; considered the weather, and also how you want to actually enjoy the photos once they’ve been captured… So, I recommend you let the professionals help you with hair & makeup so you can RELAX and ENJOY the photoshoot experience with your precious family. 

There are a LOT of great reasons why I feel professional hair & makeup are an important way to be able to enjoy a stress-free photo experience so here are some more of the reasons why I include this service with my signature portrait sessions:

• YOUR ZEN HOUR – Consider this your zen moment to start the day off right. Kick your feet up and relax while someone else pampers you since you are usually the one pampering everyone else. 

• CONVENIENCE – The artists can travel to you, or you can meet them at their Virginia Beach studio. The convenience of sipping your coffee at home while feeding your newborn baby, or the freedom venturing out in town to go to a studio, away from the thoughts of unfolded laundry and dishes in the sink. The choice is yours!

• PROFESSIONAL APPLICATION – Having an artists’ touch to ensure your makeup and hair style will stand up to the elements of heat, wind and humidity and not having to second guess if you applied your lashes correctly. 

• TIMELINE HELP – No need to second guess your timing on when to start getting ready! Your artists and photographer will ensure the day flows smoothy and there is a timeline in place so you can have a fun, stress-free day and enjoyable portrait experience! 

• NATURAL CONFIDENCE – Your natural beauty will be highlighted and we will make sure you LOVE your makeup and hair style so your confidence can shine through to your printed portraits. 

Family Photoshoot Tips for Busy Mothers

Moms are SUPERHEROS!

Most of the time, Moms will spend the morning of a family photo session running around prepping the last minute details – buying your Hubby a new undershirt from Target; restocking snacks and essentials in the diaper bag; packing the toddler shoes and pajamas for after the session… 

Consider this your excuse to finally get pampered. Your ZEN moment and the moment in time where you finally get to kick your feet up and relax, while you letl someone else take care of YOU. The artists I work with will ensure your natural beauty will shine through and be enhanced. You will still look like yourself and carry that confidence right into your portrait session. 

You deserve to be pampered, Mom!
