What I bring to your session

7/15/2015

The type of session I am shooting determines what I will bring. My most popular sessions are for families so I will give you an idea.
I bring some portable chairs and stools for posing. If it's indoors I bring backgrounds and professional lighting too. If there are small children I like to bring some things to engage them like feathers for tickling. They seem to love that! I make sure to have reviewed your 'Portrait Session Booking Form' so I know names and good info about all of you. I like to be as prepared as possible for your session!
I occasionally bring candy and/or treats to a session for the little ones because a little bribery can win a LOT of smiles!
For a child session I will bring more chairs and props and for newborns I bring all types of baskets and things to put them in as well as hats, diaper covers, ect. I love to work with my clients for a custom look. If dad is a painter, perhaps we will have a newborn session with paint cans and brushes.
The more original and creative my families are with ideas the better their session will be. Session planning with your photographer makes it so much more fun!

For one of my favorite newborn shots of my daughter we ended up using our leather otoman, my 2 pairs of cowboy boots, a favorite bear who has made more appearances in other photos and my cowboy hat. The only thing that was Jenni's was a beautiful animal print background. It is one of my favorites because it is so me! Everything I love in one amazing photo!
Other times we've used only things Jenni brought besides my daughter's outfit. It just depends on the session. If you as the client wants certain things used Jenni is going to try to get them in the photos. It helps when I have a plan too, then Jenni and I combine our creative thinking and gave come up with some fabulous shots! As you can tell we LOVE blissful images!
