FAQ: How to Prepare for Your Mini Session

What should we bring?

For families with small children:

• Bring a favorite toy or stuffed animal to help them feel comfortable and bring out natural smiles.
• Consider bringing a family member or friend if you’d like photos of just mom and dad together. They can help hold your child safely during your couple portraits.

What should we wear?

• Choose neutral or earthy tones for a timeless look against the warm greens and golden hour lighting.
• Avoid large logos or bright neon colors that can distract from your faces.

When should we arrive?

• Please arrive 5–10 minutes early to park, walk to the meeting spot, and settle in. Sessions run on a tight schedule to capture everyone in the best light, and arriving early ensures you get your full session time.

Additional Practical Tips

• Bring water, especially for children, to keep everyone refreshed.
• Consider packing a small snack for little ones if your session is near a mealtime.
• If anyone has sensitive skin, apply bug spray beforehand for outdoor sessions.
• Prepare kids by telling them about the fun photoshoot so they know what to expect and feel excited.
