Choosing your Heartfelt Chapters plan
Choosing your Heartfelt Chapters plan can feel overwhelming without knowing what to expect. Here are 20 questions to help you make a decision:
Child Development
- Do your children change rapidly, or have they reached an age where changes are less frequent?
- Do you expect them to reach multiple milestones in the next year?
- Do you wish to document most of these milestones?
Family Dynamics
- How involved are you in your children’s lives?
- Are your children mostly independent, or do they require your presence?
- How often do you engage in family activities, and for how long?
- What family activities do you enjoy? Reading, eating together, brushing teeth, jumping on the trampoline and playing games all count!
Time Considerations
- How busy is your family’s schedule?
- What is the typical duration of your chosen activities?
- Are there any time constraints due to work, activities, or other commitments?
Children’s Preferences:
- Are your children creative or inclined towards imaginative play?
- Do they enjoy outdoor activities?
- How much time do they spend on screens?
Family Traditions and Special Occasions
- Do you have regular family traditions on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis?
- What are your holiday traditions?
- How do you celebrate birthdays, and who do you involve in the celebrations?
- Would you like friends and extended family to participate in one or more of your sessions?
Session Preferences:
- Do you prefer longer, more relaxed sessions or shorter, more frequent ones?
- How much planning are you willing to undertake for each session?
- How many different occasions do you want to capture throughout the year?
Consider the duration and nature of the activities you want to photograph. Ultimately, your choice should align with what you deem important to document in the upcoming year.
And remember, documentary photography sessions, especially with young children, can be unpredictable. Some activities may take longer than expected, so flexibility is key!
