A few Notes from the photographer
1. BE ON TIME :) Please plan on arriving 5-10 minutes before your session time. Punctuality is very important since there are sessions before/after yours and the only way to have a smooth flowing group of mini sessions is to start and end on schedule.
2. CLOTHING: It could be chilly or it could be 70 degrees with the way the weather goes. Dressing your family in warm layers will be important, and you can peel off what you need temperature depending! Bonus: layers photograph the best and the more "visual depth" the better.
Below are a collection of clothing choices that I find work well in photography sessions. If you want to do something silly, that is perfectly fine too. These are YOUR photos and should reflect your family. Just a couple rules:
1. Avoid stark whites and black alone. They are fine for layering.
2. Avoid neon/brights as they distract in the photo as well.
3. Your jacket/outerwear as well as your shoes definitely matter when assembling an outfit so don't neglect them if you're wearing a coat.
4. You wanna go glam, go glam. You wanna wear holiday jammies, rock it. Want a tropical holiday theme, I'm down. Be you, have fun with it.
3. FEED yourselves and your kiddos. The session is quick but make sure everyone has had a snack/drink prior to the session so they're ready to go. Hungry tummies make for grumpy faces.
Your high resolution images will be ready to view within 7 days to give you ample time to order holiday cards. Your proofing gallery will be delivered via online gallery. I am happy to assist with ordering gift prints, Holiday cards, and larger prints/canvases.
As you all probably know, I love a laid back, nice, silly, photo session and will make it as painless as humanly possible. Promise it will be fun!!!!
Looking forward to seeing all of you!
