How To Prepare for your fall mini session
Clothing:
Choosing outfits can seem like a daunting task! Above all, wear something to feel comfortable + confident in. If you are uncomfortable or unable to move well in your clothing it can translate on camera.
1) Color palette
Sticking to a color palette is an easy way to make sure your outfits all go together. I highly recommend not matching identically, but finding similar tones so that it looks cohesive but you don’t blend together into one blob. Here are some color palette examples:
If you are stuck on color palette ideas, Pinterest is a great resource!
2) What to wear
Photo day is the perfect excuse to buy that cute dress you’ve been eyeing or dressing up a bit more that normal! I recommend women to wear midi to maxi length dresses or jeans with a trendy sweater, men to wear nice pull overs or button ups and kids to be in similar vibe items. Here are a few places I love recommending to clients to find clothes:
Women
MEN
KIDS

During Your Session
While Mini Sessions are an awesome way to get images of your family, please keep in mind we are on a tight time frame to get you as many usable images as possible. Please follow these directions to ensure you are utilizing your time efficiently:
+Arrive on time (due to the back to back nature of minis, I am unable to accommodate for late arrivals)
+Be photo ready BEFORE the start time of your session (make sure shirts are tucked in, hair is tamed + everyone is photo ready)
+Relax + trust the process and posing (things looks sooo different on camera vs how they feel!)
+If you are brining your dog, they MUST remain on a leash the entire time. Please follow this rule to ensure the safety of your pet and others.
After Your Session
Final Payment
Final payment can be made in person with cash or check OR you can pay with a credit card through the original invoice emailed to you. Final payment is due the day of the session + no images are released until payments have been made in full.
Accessing Images
Galleries will take 2-3 weeks to complete. When they are finished they will be emailed to you directly through a private online gallery link. From the online gallery you can favorite, download and print images. Your online gallery will stay open for 1 year.
Printing Images
Within your online gallery you can shop traditional paper prints, canvas prints + metal prints. Metal prints are my most popular item ordered each year! You are welcome to order prints through a third party, but I cannot guarantee the quality of prints orders outside of my professional lab.
Holiday Cards
Custom stunning holiday cards are available to order directly through your online gallery! Click the shopping cart icon and follow the steps to customize + order your holiday card.
