Getting Ready for Your Mini Session: Tips and Tricks
Mini sessions are a great way to capture beautiful memories without the commitment of a full photography session. However, preparing for a mini session can be a bit different than a regular session. Here are some tips and tricks to help you get ready and make the most of your mini session:
Before the Session
Choose your outfits carefully: Coordinate your outfits in advance and make sure everyone is comfortable and feels good in their clothes. If you're doing a Spring session try lighter colours and if you're doing a Fall session, earthy colours look great and complement the landscape. Avoid busy patterns, logos, and neon colours. Layers and accessories can add depth and texture to your photos. You can also read more on how to choose your family's outfit HERE.

Communicate with your photographer: Let your photographer know if you have any specific shot requests, concerns, or special needs. Discuss the session location and any potential challenges.
Prepare your children: If you have young children, make sure they are well-rested and fed before the session. Bring snacks, toys, or a special blanket to help them feel comfortable.
During the Session
Arrive early: Give yourself plenty of time to find the location and parking, and make any necessary wardrobe adjustments.
Relax and have fun: Mini sessions are short, so don't stress about getting the perfect shot. Trust your photographer to capture beautiful moments while you enjoy the experience.
Listen to your photographer: Your photographer may have specific instructions or prompts to help you get the best photos. Be open to her suggestions and guidance.
After the Session
Trust the process: Your photographer will select the best images from your session and edit them to follow her portfolio style. Be patient and trust that she will deliver beautiful photos that you'll cherish for years to come.
Share your feedback: If you loved your experience, let your photographer know! Positive feedback is always appreciated, and it helps grow her business.
With these tips in mind, you'll be well-prepared for your mini session and ready to make some wonderful memories. Remember to relax, have fun, and trust your photographer to capture the magic!
