This session can be tailored for anyone! The 15 minute timeframe is perfectly suited to little one's short attention, senior portraits, or for a couple looking to update their framed artwork. This is also a great session for grandparents (but please see the next question for information about timing).
Due to the shorter nature of this session, mini sessions are best suited for either a singular individual (such as a graduating senior), singular couple, or a family of 5 (parents plus kids or grandparents plus kids). The session can also focus on just the kids. This allows us to get one formal shot (everyone looking at the camera), an action shot (walking through the leaves), and possibly an individual portrait of each person. For larger families, or extended families, please consider booking two, back-to-back sessions.
There will be a tan, textured studio style backdrop set up at the top of the yard with the trees in the background, and a floral installation. We will do close up formals on just the backdrop, a pulled back shot of the backdrop with the leaves falling, and then we will move into the yard for classic fall portraits with the leaves.
