What to Expect from Your Photography Session + Fort Worth, Tx + Fort Worth Senior Photography
Before Your Session
Before we head out on location, we will meet over a cup of coffee to plan all the details of your session. Bring all your ideas, because we we talk clothes, hair, makeup, locations, props, and your vision for your session. I will send you a questionnaire a few days before our appointment, and we will discuss your answers. This planning session is a very important part of the photographing process; you will get to know me better, and I will learn more about you and what is really important to you. The more I know about you, the better I will be able to create a session that is all you.
Back to School Minis 2015
This week we are shooting back to school minis!
What's a mini?
A mini is a shorter session. We pick the location, props, theme, etc. You show up, look beautiful, and get awesome pictures without all the planning of a more personalized session.
What do I get?
- 30 minute session on location of photographer's choosing
- 1 digital file with limited print release (with the option to buy additional)
- gallery posted online and in an app (iPhone and android)
- 1 mini accordion book
- a few other surprises!
Other Comments
These are turning out SUPER cute, and aren't only for the younger kids. These would be super fun for a quick senior session.
We have limited spaces available, and the sessions are filling up fast! There are only a few spots remaining. We only offer a few mini sessions each year. Don't wait, schedule yours today.
What to Bring
A good question you might have is “What all should I bring to our photoshoot?” Or some of you might be thinking, “Um, was I supposed to bring something?” Either way, this list is for you! We’ve outlined a short list of suggestive things that we think might make you feel more comfortable during one of our sessions.
Clothes.
Please, please wear clothes. Unless you are under 15 days old. Then OMG we love the baby wrinkles! Wear outfits that are timeless. Don’t go for “Sunday Best.” Although those are often cute outfits, most people are not super comfortable in the “Sunday Best” outfits. We want you to be comfortable. Believe it or not, you can really tell when someone is uncomfortable in an outfit.
Be prepared with an extra outfit, especially with children. It is bound to happen: if you don’t bring an extra outfit, someone will get a grass stain, spill a bright red drink, or rip the knees.
Water.
We are in Texas guys. It is hot! Even when it isn’t hot, it’s still hot. It is nice to be able to take a quick drink to wet your lips and remove the cotton-mouth feel right before you need to smile.
Snacks for the kids.
Guys. As a first time mom, I am learning the power of carrying around snacks. It’s like sparkly crazy magic. Sometimes a puff, or cracker, or squeeze pouch can do wonders for a fussy tantrum. Have you seen the Snickers commercials? The ones where someone turns into a crazed monster because they are hungry. That is so me, and I know it is some of you, too. Bring an easy snack for the kids and the big kids, too.
Sentimental Items and props.
Sometimes, the whole point of a photo session is to honor or remember a loved one. If that’s the case, find something that makes it special. Was your grandfather a veteran who flew during a war? Bring his jacket. Does your family pass down quilts? Bring one. Not sure if an item would work in a session? Contact us and we’d love to toss around ideas with you.
If your session is a surprise engagement, don’t forget the ring!
Smile.
Most importantly, don’t forget your beautiful smile. Guys, we want this to not only be a session to capture a moment in time for your family, but we also want to create beatiful memories during our session. We want to laugh and have fun. Please don’t stress out. If everyone is having a good time, that will translate into the photos, so come prepared to just relax, laugh, and smile.
