Christmas Mini Photo Session Guide
I am so excited that you are coming to Wendy J Photography to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year, Christmas. Christmas Mini Sessions are the most joyful and fun photo shoots that I offer throughout the year. I love seeing the joy on everyone’s faces as they enter the studio. Mini Christmas sessions are so perfect and stress free as they are fast and you get amazing images to share with all.
To help you get the best experience possible, I has created a Mini Christmas preparation guide to ensure we have a successful shoot.
Location – Plan ahead of time and use google maps to determine how long it may take to arrive at the studio. Also take into consideration any traffic that may affect travel time before your Christmas mini session.
Our studio address is #1055 – 12471 Horseshoe Way, Richmond.
We are at the back of the first building. Please drive in from the right side gate. You can park just outside our studio.
Arrive on time – Your assistance with arriving on time is so important for a successful day. When you arrive I will ask that you wait outside whilst other families are being photographed, purely as other clients get distracted. 10 minutes early should be plenty. This way you’re not stressing out and you can relax in the parking lot for a few minutes.
Images – Christmas mini sessions and run for 20-30 minutes maximum to provide you with the best 5 images. Sometimes, they can be less than 20 minutes, don’t freak out, it’s less because you guys have been awesome and nailed every pose! I will ensure you get various images of your children and family and provide you with a full gallery to select from. You will receive all unedited high resolution images from your session too.
There is no pressure on your children to perform at the session, natural shots are always best and I like to shoot in a fun, relaxed and easy manner so there is no pressure on them to be perfect or looking at the camera with big perfect smiles in every shot.
What To Wear
Coordinating Colours –Pick three coordinating colours that go well together and one of those colours being a neutral colour. You don’t necessarily need to be all matching in identical outfits. Mix it up a little with textures too but stick to your colour palette.
No logos – If possible, no logos. You want your images to be timeless.
No Outfit Changes – As it is a 20-30 minute session we don’t have time for big outfit changes.
Other Tips
Plan Sleep – your children’s sleep / awake time for that day if your session is during there sleep time.
Feed your children – before the session to ensure their full and happy. Arrive a little earlier and do this in the car if needed. Feel free to bring anything as bribery.
Clean everyone’s face – (eyes, nose, mouth), it’s amazing what is always left behind. I have wipes in the studio for you to use too .
All dressed – Come dressed in your outfit as there will be no time to do this during the photo session.
I am so excited to have you come into the studio and experience this soon too.
