Let’s be real—most kids think a photo session is about the same as going to the dentist. But what if a photo session wasn’t just photos? What if it was an epic day of fun? Here’s how to turn picture day into the highlight of their week:

1. Make It a Whole Kids’ Day!

This isn’t just about getting cute pictures—it’s a full-on experience! Hype it up! Let them know today is all about fun, adventure, and making special memories.

2. Get Kids Out of School

Want instant VIP status? Let them skip a little school for their session. Boom—you’re officially the coolest parent ever.

3. Shop Downtown

Pick out some new cute clothing at Madison Avenue, Smith Bros, or Sassy Sisters, or find a fun gift at Wheeler’s Drug Store—because every great adventure deserves a little something special!

4. Treats

Because bribery—I mean, incentives—are key. A cookie, a cupcake, or whatever sugary delight fuels their happiness—smiles guaranteed! And don’t worry, moms—you get a little treat, too. Grab a coffee or tea from Bakery on Broad or swing by Top Shelf Nutrition for a delicious loaded tea to keep up with the fun!

5. Stop by Dollar General for a Surprise Toy

A $3 toy can work wonders—instant excitement and at least 10 minutes of perfect cooperation. It’s basically parenting magic!

6. Pick Up Supper before you leave town

End the day with a delicious meal from The Farm Table (because after all that fun, you’re definitely not cooking). They have meals that all you have to do is pop in the oven, and bam, a home-cooked meal is ready! After all that fun, it’s the perfect way to wind down the day.

A fun day and beautiful photos? That’s a total win!
