Here we are 6 months late, but it can’t go without saying I have the BEST clients! I loved seeing so many families this Fall during such a unique year. Capturing your holiday sessions is always a delight.

Fall sessions can be stressful. We all have 1000 things to do in the Fall from sports, holidays, and school events, I feel like it quickly fills up our calendars each year. As we head into Fall 2021, I will have limited availability for Fall Mini Sessions.

Before we head into Fall, I wanted to share 3 quick tips to prepare for your session! There are always more tips for your family sessions, but these can help get those sweet smiles and laughs.

Plan ahead:

Plan for your mini session. When is the best time of day for your children? Many young kids nap in the morning and afternoon. As we get later into the Fall, some of the early afternoon sessions are during nap time or dinner time. Think about your children’s schedule before you snag a spot!

Bribe:

It is always okay to bribe! Donuts, candy (sweet tarts, raisins are always good choices), ice cream, you name it, but bribing is okay! We want your kiddos to have fun and give us a few smiles. These are quick 20 minute sessions. Sometimes by the time kids warm up, your session is over :)

Schedule them early:

Yes, you read that right, snag a September spot! The earlier the better and then you are guaranteed to get all the deals on the Holiday card specials! Plus, you know you will have your cards out the door by Thanksgiving! Huge win for this Mama!
