Mindfully Planning Your Holiday Family Mini Session
As the festive season approaches, it’s that magical time when we come together, embracing the joy of the holidays and cherishing the bond we share. A family mini session is not just about photographs, it’s about capturing memories, emotions, and the essence of togetherness. Our mini sessions are 15-20 minutes. They are super quick and fun. We guide you through many prompts and poses in a quick time capturing a mix of candid and posed photos for your annual holiday card. Planning it mindfully ensures not just stunning photographs, but a delightful experience. So, let’s begin this beautiful journey together, and ensure every moment feels good!
1. Wear Your Joy
Choosing the perfect outfits can sometimes feel like an adventure. However, it’s good to remember to be yourself! Opt for complementary colors rather than matching outfits, and embrace comfort to allow natural movement and expression. Whether you lean towards festive reds and greens, or neutral tones, wear what reflects your family’s unique spirit.
2. Arrive Early
Arriving early ensures you have time to settle in, and take care of any last minute touchups or bathroom visits.
3. Breathe and Envision
Before beginning the session, take a moment to breathe deeply. Close your eyes, focus on your heart’s desire for this session, and visualize the beautiful memories you’re about to create. Your family can feel your energy, and there’s nothing more infectious than joy and positivity.
4. The Essentials: Snacks and Hydration
Hungry tummies can be distracting! Pack some healthy snacks and drinks. A quick bite or sip can provide a boost of energy, ensuring everyone feels good throughout the short session.
5. It’s All About Feeling Good
You look your best when you feel your best. Remember that it’s okay to take pauses, readjust, and stay relaxed. The aim is to capture organic, candid moments that reflect genuine emotions. Trust the process, even if we ask everyone to do things that are silly and playful because the results will be breathtaking.
6. Embrace the Moment
While it’s natural to want every photo to be ‘perfect,’ sometimes the most beautiful memories are the candid ones. Laughter, spontaneous hugs, or even a playful chase – allow yourselves to be in the moment. Embrace the authenticity, and we will do the rest.
7. Fun is the Key Ingredient
Above all, remember that the essence of these sessions is joy. Let loose, be playful, and allow yourself to ENJOY it all. These moments of laughter and carefreeness will shine through in your photos, taking you back to these moments to always be remembered.
8. Presence Over Perfection
Finally, within all the giggles and poses, take a moment to truly absorb the experience. Feel the warmth of your loved ones, the happiness in the air, and the beauty of the present moment.
Your family mini session is a celebration of togetherness, love, and the festive spirit. When you approach it with mindfulness, joy, and a touch of planning, you ensure memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.
So, come with an open heart and let’s make magic together. After all, memories aren’t just captured with a camera, but with love, joy, and mindfulness. See you soon! 📷❤️
