Christmas Mini Sessions
Thank you so much for booking your Christmas Mini session with me! I am so excited to capture you and your family amongst the magical setting of the Christmas trees. I thought it might be helpful to pull together all the information you need in one place ahead your session so you feel prepared and (hopefully) excited on the day!
What to expect during your session
On the day I’ll meet you at the entrance to the farm and we’ll wander over to the spot I’ve picked out for our session. I’m all about you and your family having a really fun and enjoyable experience and my approach is to capture the natural flow of our time together. There won’t be any formal posing but I’ll give prompts and direction to get the best out of your session. We’ll laugh a lot and capture those natural smiles and real moments between you all. And of course if there’s any particular shots you would like to get then we can recreate those too!
What should we wear?
Most importantly, wear something that you feel comfortable in. I always recommend sticking to neutral colours or earthy tones like burnt orange, burgundies or blues/greens as they compliment your environment and create those timeless photos. Try and keep everyone coordinated within the same colour palette and avoid anything bright or busy patterns as these don’t photograph well on camera. Textures always look really lovely, knitted jumpers, cosy scarves and wooly hats. If you’re feeling festive Christmas colours and patterns are great for creating the perfect Christmas card. I always suggest laying all of your outfits out on the bed next to one another and seeing how they look combined as a look as a whole.
Is there anything I should bring?
Nope! I’ll have blankets and a couple of props but please feel free to bring anything else along if you have particular photos in mind. It’s also worth noting that the Farm is not officially open to the public just yet so you may want to bring along some drinks/snacks. There is access to toilet facilities.
How will I receive my photos?
Within three weeks I’ll send you a link to a private online gallery where you can see all the edited photographs from your session. From this gallery you will be able to select your 5 chosen images, or if you love them all I offer to option to upgrade to your full gallery at £50 or add on any additional shots for £5 an image.
Final Notes
Please arrive around ten minutes ahead of your scheduled time, I’m running these sessions back to back so I’m afraid I won’t be able to extend your time if you’re late. Please have everyone dressed and ready to go in their outfits, if its a cold day keep the kids wrapped up warm until we’ve walked over to the Christmas trees and we can pop any bags/coats down before shooting.
I’m so excited to meet you all! If you have any questions at all or want to run outfit options by me just drop me a message.
