Plan Ahead for Fall Photos

It may be the start of summer, but I’m already booking fall sessions and getting some questions so I thought I’d go ahead and share some info—especially for my clients who’ve done fall minis year after year because after moving into our new house and using our property as my primary location for sessions, I made some changes at the beginning of this year with how I do minis. Please visit the Mini Session page on the website for details on your mini session options: Classic and Styled Minis, but here’s the gist.

CLASSIC MINIS are what most clients are used to booking with me in the fall. However in the past, I’ve allowed about 30 minutes of shoot time whereas now, they are 20 minutes long—short and sweet but you will get fewer photos. Classic Minis are basically shortened lifestyle sessions. They will be done at our property in Moreland where we will have a tall grass meadow, a giant oak tree with tree swing, a little country garden, paths through the woods, and more. Since Classic Minis are about 20 minutes long, we’ll only have time for 1-2 backdrops around the property. If you would like more time, more backdrops and MORE PHOTOS, please be sure to book a regular Lifestyle Session instead. With your Classic Mini, you will get all of your edited digital images from the session in an online gallery for downloading. Classic Minis are $200 and can be booked ANYTIME. There are no specific dates for these. For bookings in September-November, a $50 deposit is required.

STYLED MINIS are special events scheduled throughout the year on specific dates at our property in Moreland, GA. They include designed backdrops and props that display a theme or celebrate a season or holiday. The remaining styled minis for this year are WATERMELON TRUCK MINIS on July 8th, WILDFLOWERS/SUNFLOWERS in August or September pending blooms and the CHRISTMAS TRUCK on November 4th. Details for each of these styled minis will be posted to our Events page on the website once final plans are set.

The most important thing to know is YOU NEED TO BOOK SOON if you want either a regular Lifestyle Session or a Classic Mini Session. The fall calendar is filling up and I am running out of weekend availability. Please keep in mind that it will start getting dark earlier as the year ends so that means fewer time slots available.

I hope this information helps. Fall photos are my favorite and I can’t wait to see all of your wonderful families again. If you have any questions or want to book your spot, just let me know.
