Why a Mini Session?
Leading up to the session
Tell your photographer: If you are booked, hopefully we have the names of everyone in the family and the ages of any children. This helps prepare for our session and make the most of every minute of our mini session. If you have a preference to posed vs candid or family groupings, the more information you can share ahead of time, the better our session will be.
​
​Outfit selection: When selecting clothing for the family, it's a great idea to share your vision with everyone and allow them to have a hand in their clothing selection. Kids who are excited about what they can wear show it well in photographs. I recommend neutral color palettes that won't age like my highlighter yellow NIKE t-shirt. Logos should be minimal. Patterns are great, but try to avoid too many busy patterns on everyone. Complementary outfits for the family photograph better than all exact-matching outfits. Hats can create deep shadows over the eyes, so I'd suggest leaving hats in the car.
​
We certainly cannot control the weather, but we will work within acceptable weather conditions, which can sometimes put a wrench in the outfit selection. Dress for the weather. If kids are freezing or sweating, it shows, so have them dress comfortably for the conditions. Layering is a great idea.
The Session
Showtime!
Time for the photoshoot. I know parents often have a vision of a perfect photo session, but we know that kids will be kids, and I love and embrace those moments. We're here to have a good time, so we'll roll with whatever happens and deliver great photos.
​
Please try to show up a few minutes early and that kids are rested and fed. Pack light, but it is good to have a few snacks ready to go juuuuuuust in case the kids (or Dad) need some replenishment. Snacks should be simple, and not something that could stain clothes or changes the colors of mouths.
​
As we get started with the shoot, we'll start with some standing poses to warmup, followed by seated, and squeeze in a few active shots.
