As I finish up my new client session prep guide I will be sharing some on here as well!
When is the best time of year to plan your session. Let’s talk specifics-
A lot plays into this- what’s the vibe you’re going for- spring blooms, or sunset golden kissed images or are you more of a fall vibes type person to your core.
Family sessions- when it comes to kids and planning we have to take into account time of year. The sun sets earlier still in the spring vs in the summer when it can run into bedtimes as start times are typically right around bedtime in the summer. I do have some session planning tips for littles and I keep my sessions moving and play lots of games but in my session prep guide I will share some of my personal favorite ways to help make a sunset session go easier.
Fall is also extremely popular for photographers and I will be opening my books in Mid summer for those dates. So knowing that your photographer books up those days quick it’s best to inquire early for those dates.
Maternity sessions- I prefer around 30-36weeks. Just in that sweet spot where you’re showing but not too uncomfortable yet so you can still enjoy your session and comfortably move around.
Couples- anytime of the year, but if your planning your engagement photos plan the time you do them if possible, in the winter the weather is unpredictable also if your including a hobby of yours knowing when the best time of the year for that hobby or special interest is key. Example- say you guys love the river, or the beach while it’s possible to do this in the winter, warmer days might work out better like spring or summer.
Just a few things to keep in mind- all my sessions this year will include a session prep guide and a questionnaire to help better prep and prepare to make the most out of your session and make it a fun and enjoyable experience for everyone.
