How to Make the Most of your Mini Session - JENNAKPHOTOS, NJ Photographer

Making the Most of your Mini Session with JENNAKPHOTOS

Mini sessions with JENNAKPHOTOS are designed to be short and sweet, capturing beautiful memories in a 10-15 minute timeframe.

Here are some tips to ensure your mini session is a smooth and successful experience:

Pre-Session Prep:

• Plan your outfits well in advance. Check out my blog posts on outfit tips and color palettes. Remember, comfort is key, and coordination (not necessarily matching) creates stunning visuals. 
• Get ready & arrive early! Mini sessions have tight schedules (with little wiggle room) and arriving late cuts into your valuable photo time. 
• Be on the lookout for a reminder email/text with last minute details on parking and weather (if needed) the day before your session. 
• Make sure everyone is well-rested and has eaten before your mini session, including you! Consider bringing snacks and water, especially for little ones.  
• Research parking ahead of time. I highlight parking in each of my location spotlight blog posts.
• If you have specific props in mind, gather them in advance and bring them to the session. 

Communication is Key:

• Talk to your kiddos beforehand about what to expect. Briefly explain the process and reassure them it will be quick and fun. A little encouragement goes a long way. 
• If you have specific pose requests or photo inspiration, send them over to me ahead of time at jennakardaszphotos@gmail.com

I know it feels like a lot for such a short time together, but these tips can help make mini session magic. Our session will run smoothly and you’ll walk away with stunning photos that capture your family’s unique story.
