So you have booked the Session!  Yay! The weather is starting to warm up and now the thought of coordinating the family and picking out outfits slipped into your mind and your head is spinning! Don’t worry, thats why I am here to help. Spring Mini Sessions are meant to be fun, so don’t let yourself get all worked up over the many tiny details. But that being said, here are some little helpful hints to get the most our of your Spring Mini.

 

 

COORDINATE OUTFITS BUT DON’T ‘MATCHY-MATCHY’

 

I always suggest to my clients to pick out THREE colors that go well together and one of those colors being a neutral color. After selecting your color palette, select outfits for your family that coordinate with the colors you have chosen. You do not all have to be wearing matching shirts and identical pants. Instead, mix it up a little, but stick to the color palette you have chosen. This will create unity without going over the top.

 

 

PASTELS AND FLORALS

 

Spring reminds you of warm weather, spring blossoms and all the happy feels! Pastels are amazing for spring mini sessions. Soft light and airy colors. Floral prints are gorgeous too, but I suggest if you want to go with floral patterns, try to only have one person in print OR have matching patterns. Too many bold patterns can actually be distracting and not mesh well together.

 

 

Here are some outfit suggestions and inspiration!

YES TO ACCESSORIES!

 

I’m all about the little EXTRAS! Add some flare and personality to your session by incorporating some little accessories. Floral headbands, bunches of posies, cute hats, Sparkly heels, bubbles… the list is endless. The main point of the session is to capture your family, their dynamic and fun personality! I won’t be going crazy with props, but little accessories are always fun and give your photos that little extra! The session will be laid back and my goal is for you all to be as comfortable as possible in front of the camera!

 

 

 

 

GO ALL OUT!

 

This may NOT be for all of you, but Hey, how often do you get professional photos done?! Make the most of it and have fun!  If you are looking for a more stylized session, then feel free to get dressed up and make it Semi Formal. If you ask me, there is nothing cuter than an amazingly dressed family in the middle of a field of flowers! Go for it! You will be so glad you did it! Just trust me.

BE ON TIME!

 

No Alice in Wonderland White Rabbits! Try not to be late to this very important date. Your Mini Session is allocated a very specific time. If you are late, unfortunately that means you will be cutting into your OWN mini session time. I can not extend sessions due to clients being late. Mini sessions run back to back and this means that I need to finish at our allocated time. Please try to be five minutes early to your session to allow walking to the location and additional unexpected things. I suggest GPS-ing the location in advance to time your arrival.

 

 

YOUR PHOTOS!

After your session has taken place, it will take me 1-2 weeks to edit your images and present you with a fully edited gallery. I aim to get them done early than this, but this is a good time frame to have in the back of your head. You will receive a notice that your gallery is ready! From there I will upload your awesome session into an online gallery. You will be able to choose your favorite photos and decide if you would like to upgrade to the full session. The gallery will remain open for 48 hours from the time it is sent, to allow you time to choose your photos.

 

 

HAVE FUN!!

 

And of course the MOST important part… HAVE FUN! I can not wait to meet you all, some of you I will be seeing again. Photographing Families is my favorite and I can not wait for you to have some amazing photos for you to hang on your walls! If you need to ask any questions or just talk about your session, feel free to contact me via email nataliebuckphotography@gmail.com or through my CONTACT page. Happy to help any way that I can!
