MINI SESSION Questionnaire
Thank you so much for choosing Shawna Shenette Photography for your upcoming Outdoor Mini Session. I can't wait to see you!
Mini Sessions are such a fun way to get some great portraits in a short amount of time. Please take a moment to read the information below and fill out the following form so that we can prepare for your session and create images that you'll love. Twenty minutes isn't a long time; however, it's actually plenty of time as long as everyone is prepared.
Please plan to be ready 5 minutes before the start of your session and wait off to the side and out of view of those being photographed, so that any sessions in progress are not disrupted. Any tardiness will result in a reduced session time, as sessions are held every 25 minutes. It is also recommended that you stay out of view from the session beforehand so as to not interrupt or distract. Thank you so much for being on time!
CONTACT: If you need to reach me on the day of the session for any reason, please call or text 508.685.0885.
Helpful Tips:
1. Relax...and take a deep breath - Children's attitudes can be unpredictable, meaning they might not exactly want to be photographed. It's always best to relax and just do your best to have fun. Yes, we want some amazing, smiling photos, but in my experience, once a child is stressed or overstimulated, there's no going back. It is a VERY rare occasion where I am unable to get beautiful family photos or photos of your children. If necessary, I might pull your child(ren) aside and take some photos of them individually. We all know they act differently when we, as parents, are not around!
2. I encourage you to make this a fun family experience. Instead of bribing your children with a treat, make this a feel good day. Make plans to go out for dinner or a treat before or after the session as a family. Not as a reward, but as part of the overall experience.
3. Clothing - Please see the link in your email for suggested ways to mix, match and coordinate outfits. Feel free to email me photos of your outfits if you would like a second opinion.
4. Makeup - A little extra makeup than you normally wear is recommended since it always looks like less on-camera.
5. IMPORTANT!!! We all know that the weather has been less than favorable for outdoor activities this year. I will be watching the forecast for Sunday closely. If there is a significant chance of rain or very wet/muddy ground, I will provide options for rescheduling and do my best to accommodate everyone.
