Get ready to bring the fun and excitement to your Confetti Mini Session with The Light of May Photography! These sessions are all about celebrating joy, and we want to help you prepare so your photos capture every colorful and lively moment. Here’s how to make the most of your time with us:
1. Dress for the Occasion
Confetti Minis are vibrant and playful, so let your outfit reflect the theme. The background will be white. There will be pastel confetti and balloons with a pop of gold. Consider these tips:
Simple Patterns: Solid colors best to keep the focus on you.
Comfortable Clothing: Make sure you can move and play freely during the session.
For kids, outfits with fun textures or tutu skirts add an extra touch of whimsy!
2. Bring Props (Optional)
Confetti is the star of the show, but a few fun props can add a personal twist to your photos. Consider:
Party hats or crowns
A favorite toy or accessory that matches the theme
I will provide heart glasses, lollipops, a princess crown.
3. Prepare for Confetti Fun
We’ll provide the confetti, but here’s how to get ready to play with it:
Practice tossing confetti at home to get a feel for the movement.
Be prepared to laugh and have fun—candid moments are the best!
Let kids know it’s okay to get a little messy; it’s all part of the experience.
Personality mini session info:
What is Personality Mini Sessions?
Personality Mini Sessions are short, focused photography sessions designed to capture the unique essence of your child. Unlike traditional photo shoots, which can feel formal and time-consuming, mini sessions offer a relaxed environment where kids can truly be themselves. These sessions typically last for 20 minutes, making them perfect for capturing spontaneous moments and genuine smiles.
Choose Outfits Wisely: Think playful yet classic—neutral tones, soft colors, or something that feels like “them.”
Props: bring any props that you might want to include in the photos that will make their personality really shine. Examples: Any interests, toys, favorite item.
Preparing Kids for the Session:
The shorter timeframe of Personality Mini Sessions doesn’t allow for extensive warm-up periods. Therefore, it’s essential to prepare your child for the session. Let them know what to expect and get them excited about the experience. Instead of pressuring them to perform, keep everything positive and encouraging. A small bribe, like a favorite treat or toy, can work wonders to keep them engaged and cooperative for this small pocket of time.
If your child is extra shy typically, it’s best to show them a picture of me so that I don’t feel like such a stranger the day of the session. With a limited time frame, we don’t have the luxury of time to warm up as much as we would at a full session.
