How to take Professional Photos for Your Adoption Profile While Traveling

Getting photos for your adoption profile can be one of the most stressful parts of the project. As I was chatting with a coaching client yesterday I shared a great tip with her, and I thought I'd share it here with you too! This client was taking a belated honeymoon to a beautiful destination, but was bemoaning that the only photos they might be able to get there would be selfies since they were traveling alone. As she mused about the merits of a selfie stick (Um, yes- do it!!) I gave her an even better idea.

Every year when we take a family vacation I always plan ahead and find a photographer in the city we're traveling in and schedule a quick photoshoot. I usually plan it for a morning before we go sightseeing so we're close to recognizable landmarks that will help tell the story of the places we've visited. After years of doing this I now have a wall of canvases showing our children growing up, and great memories of all the places we've visited. I'll admit my family wasn't always thrilled by this and I'm not too proud to say bribes were paid- ice cream for breakfast? Yes sir! Expensive Mickey Mouse ears? Heck yes! Letting them ride the Ferris wheel alone? Eeeeek, but yes! Now, as my kids are older, they agree mom had a good idea after all.

While I had to do a lot of leg work back then to find a photographer in a city I didn't know well, YOU don't have to. With the advent of services like Shoott.com, you can book a photographer for a quick photoshoot in almost every major city in the country. It's inexpensive, quick, and easy- you might not even have to bribe your kids to do it!
