Christmas Card Mini Sessions
Hey there, friends! We’re only a few days from your Christmas Card Mini Session in Brownsville, Tennessee on Saturday, November 11th! Here are some tips on how to prepare:
ARRIVE 15 MIN EARLY: Please arrive ready to go and park in the parking lot to the right of the house (if youre facing it)! We will walk around the property for photos with the magnolia leaves & the white house!
WHAT TO BRING: Feel free to bring a small bag with non-messy snacks/incentives for the kids or makeup. If you want a nice quilt or blanket to sit on with your family, feel free to bring that as well! Leave everything else in your car, please!
LOCATION: We will be taking photos on the property of Eader House in Brownsville, TN — directions here. The grounds are covered with magnolia trees, the perfect winter backdrop for your Christmas Card photo! It is easily accessible for all ages, however, the brick walkway is uneven. Please be careful as you walk!
WHAT TO WEAR FOR TIMELESS PHOTOS:
Classic Color Scheme: Soft shades of reds, pinks, and blues, mixed with sophisticated neutrals like heather gray, creams, leather, and white look great with all skin tones. Please NO neons. Timeless colors look great for years to come in frames around your house!
Coordinate, Not Match: Mix up the colors of pant bottoms and/or hemlines of skirts/dresses on each individual to create visual interest and help you coordinate, not match! Don’t be afraid to use patterns and textures. Dad could wear a checkered button-down while daughter could wear a floral pattern. Lay out your clothes prior to the session, take a photo, then convert it to black and white. If everything is the same shade of grey, mix it up!
For moms: Long, flowy A-line dresses, skirts, or romantic shirts flatter any figure. Heels are great to slim you.
For dads: Khakis or dress pants look great with layers — blazers, vests, coats, and v-neck sweaters with a pop of color from a long-sleeved collared shirt.
For kids: Above all, keep them comfortable! If they are itchy or the outfit doesn’t fit just right, you will notice.
FULL 30 MIN: These sessions will be a full 30 minutes (with a 15-minute buffer before & after) so that we aren’t rushed and you get the most bang for your buck.
INCLUDED: Receive 50-75 images in Color & B+W all delivered via an online gallery with full print release. Editing should take 2-3 weeks.
FREE PRINT PRODUCT: I want you to savor your images, so included is your choice of a metal ornament as a keepsake for your beloved memories! You will receive an email after your gallery is delivered with instructions on how to order your ornament!
BACKUP DATE & RESCHEDULING: The backup date for bad weather will be Sunday, November 12th. I will get in touch with you via text and confirm if we need to reschedule. If you are unable to do the backup date, you may use your deposit towards any future portrait session for up to one year with L&B.
I can’t wait to see you all there! As always, feel free to reach out anytime via text at 731-661-1360.
Blessings,
