Booking is now open for the Spring/Easter Mini Sessions. I can not wait to get started on these sessions! This years sessions will take place on Sat. March 16th, 2019. The set is light and airy and fun. As usual, I have props available for use to make it as “Eastery” as you wish.
The process for choosing a style and building a set for Christmas sessions is a hard one, but I love doing it! Thought I would share the process, as it is very rewarding in the end. The challenge these past couple of years was creating something that would be suitable for kids as well as families, as the special has grown since I first started. I knew the general idea of what I wanted – a cozy family room space that was bright and airy. I love natural light, but for sessions throughout the day I needed something that was bight and consistent. I started by creating a plain white room and blocking out most of the window. Here is what the final set looked like.
I thought it was time to offer a natural setting for cake smashes that really puts the focus on baby. Simple, elegant and organic in feel. You don’t always need loads of decor and background options – baby and a cake is all it takes. It took me a while to decide on a general setting. I do offer standard simple set ups such as solid white or neutral backgrounds – but what if there was a little more to it than that. I wanted a natural feel to it, not a typical studio feel. I thought, what do I do when I want to photography my own children somewhat candidly? Answer – find the best light and tidy a small space just enough to make my home look clean 🙂 So why not have a set that is simple and clean with great light, and may possibly look like it was taken in a natural home setting. That is what I wanted to do. So I found a space, created the light and went from there.
I was so glad to get to meet Baby O. What a sweet little bundle she was! Met at the door by her newly appointed big brother with excitement, he was eager to show me around and show off his new sister. It is always fun photographing siblings with their new brother or sister.
