Christmas Minis: What to expect
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 of your mini session I will come and meet you at the entrance to the farm and from there we will wander over to the best spots for your photos. I am all about you and your family having a really fun and enjoyable experience, so its important to note that there will be no formal posing, my approach is always to go with the natural flow of our time together and I’ll give prompts and direction where ever necessary to get the best out of your session. We’ll laugh a lot and capture those natural smiles and real moments. 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 more earthy tones like burnt orange, burgundies or blue hues as they compliment your environment and create timeless photos. Try and keep everyone coordinated within the same colour palette and avoid anything bright or patterned as these don’t photograph well on camera. Textures always look really lovely, knitted jumpers, cosy scarves and wooly hats. It’ll also be a great time to start feeling festive so Christmas colours and patterns are perfect if your wanting to create the perfect Christmas card this year. The main thing is to choose what feels right for you.
Is there anything I should bring?
Nope! I’ll bring along some blankets for us to use and feel free to bring along some Christmassy props like Santa hats if you wish! It’s worth noting that the Farm is not officially open to the public just yet so you may want to bring along some drinks or snacks.
How will I receive my photos?
Within two weeks of your session I’ll send you a link to a private online gallery where you can see all the fully 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 or add on any additional shots you would like to purchase.
Final Notes
Please arrive at least ten minutes ahead of your scheduled time. I am running these sessions back to back so I will not be able to extend your time if you are late I’m afraid. And finally, if you have any questions at all or even just want to run some outfit options by me I am always here for a chat. I cannot wait to meet you!
