What to expect at your session
Newborn Sessions
Newborn sessions can take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours and sometimes more – it all depends on baby’s mood on the day. There will most likely be a little bit of crying involved as it’s a new situation for a baby but once they settle to sleep they are happier and I can work quickly to get the images you’ll love. If baby doesn’t sleep – don’t worry – not every baby will settle in a photosession situation but the younger they are the better the chances. What if baby is very unsettled? – That’s OK – just bring along a long sleeve plain black T-shirt and we can use mum or dad as the backdrop.
Baby and Child mini sessions
A mini session is a quick 30 – 35 minute photosession that is purely catering to the short attention span of babies and young children. If your little one is not yet walking it generally happens indoors in a studio set up. There will be a number of different backdrops used and possibly a few low key props as well and I will move quickly to keep your little one interested and get some awesome shots. For outdoor sessions there will be a lot of tickling and playful running around to catch the smiles.
A mini session only really give enough time to concentrate on one subject so for groups or families a standard length session is a better option.
Standard Photo sessions
This is a normal length photo session of around 1 hour. It allows for up to 4 people to be involved and is usually held at an outdoor location. It is similar to the mini session in structure, however, it’s just a bit longer.
The engagement session
This is an opportunity to get to know your photographer better, build trust between you and get some great pre wedding images. Its also great to get in a little practise in front of the camera if you’re generally a little camera shy. The only person you spend more time with on the day of your wedding is actually your betrothed so knowing this person a little better will make for a more comfortable and relaxed experience – minus awkward moments!
