Valentine's Day Minis

I am so excited to offer Valentine's Day mini sessions this year. One huge benefit of having a Main Street studio is the freedom to get to do fun stuff like this and preserve these memories for families. Scroll to the bottom of this post if you want to know more about how to book one of these sessions.

Do you get excited about Valentine's Day? What is your favorite part? When I was a kid, I loved getting all the little valentines in my school mailbox. One year I was sick and had to miss my class' VDay celebration, but I was so thrilled when my mom came home from picking up my things at school carrying a large paper bag filled with valentines. We sat on the couch together reading them, and I just remember feeling so loved. It was the first bright spot in that flu-ridden week. 

As an adult, I have cherished making my kids' Valentine cards to take to school. I love having something unique to share with their friends. We always do a little shoot in my studio together, and my kids' cards get lots of laughs and compliments from their teachers. This year I get to offer the same opportunity other families. 

* Sessions are available Saturday, Feb. 3 and Sunday, Feb. 4 in the afternoons.
* Space is available first come, first served.
* Sessions will take about 20 minutes.
* Each session will yield 5 digital photos delivered to an online gallery.
* You will receive a print release so that you can print your photos at your leisure.
* More than one child can be included in the session, but you will need to order additional cards for that child if you would like them.
* I will include 20 custom Valentines that will be available to pick up within a week. You can order more Valentines for an additional cost. I will choose the design, but you will be able to choose the photo and text.
* Only $95 ($30 deposit due at booking).

Santa Sessions are Here!

I am so excited about these sessions! I've been looking forward to this all year. Full disclosure, Santa is my father-in-law. He moved here recently from Austin, Texas, where he plays Santa for my sister-in-law's group home. My sister-in-law, who is actually in her mid-30s, was born with a brain defect that renders her unable to think past the age of 2. When my husband and I first started dating, one of our first excursions was to the group home Christmas party. My father-in-law disappeared for a bit, and then Santa emerged, bearing presents. I knew immediately that I could be part of this family! 

I was so excited when he agreed to play Santa again, this time for my clients! 

I've been offering mini sessions several times a year since I started my business, and one question I get most often is "How Do I Prepare?"

For the best photos, your main job, mom and dad, is to dress your kids in ways that compliment the rest of the session. The colors I chose for this session are black, white, gray and that bright cherry buffalo check red that is so popular right now. You should have no trouble finding something to go with that. Remember to keep it simple and don't mix too many patterns.  I am a big fan of solid colors with subtle patterns as the details. But do what makes sense for you!

I will be dressed as one of Santa's elves. When you get to the session, I'll explain to the kiddos that Santa is going to be there soon and that we are going to make some art of them meeting Santa. I want to warm them up to the idea that they will be getting their photo made. I will tell them that if they are good, Santa may even have a little gift for them. We will do a couple of photos without Santa, and then I will "go check to see if he's arrived." I'll bring Santa out, we'll take some photos, and then I'll let Santa go back to the North Pole. When I return, I will have a gift that Santa wanted to leave for them.

I am so excited about this shoot. Please let me know if you have any questions!
