How to prepare for your Fall Mini Session

First, while matching outfits can be adorable, it can also be a daunting task, especially for a family of four or more. Instead, consider selecting a piece of attire that every family member might have in their closets, like jeans, a specific colored top, or a specific color regardless of the clothing item. This allows for not only a coordinated look but also gives each person the opportunity to express their unique personality.

Second, always prioritize comfort when it comes to footwear. Even though mini sessions are relatively short, discomfort can show on camera and can ruin precious moments. If you're buying new shoes for the session, make sure to break them in beforehand.

Third, allow yourself plenty of time for hair and makeup. As moms, these often become our last concern but can cause unnecessary stress if left until the last minute.

Lastly, don't forget to consider food timing. Hunger can lead to grumpiness and can show on camera. If your session is in the morning, opt for a light breakfast like granola and yogurt, a fruit salad, or oatmeal. This will keep you from feeling too full or bloated. If your session is closer to lunch or dinner, bring along some snacks to keep your tummy satisfied. Remember, the goal is to capture beautiful, natural photos that you'll treasure forever, so take the time to prepare and make the most of your fall mini session.
