This year, I’m offering Fall Mini Sessions on October 24th. I find late October/early November to generally be peak foliage in the Northern Virginia area - when the golden, amber and russet hues dominate the landscape. Set at Claude Moore park in Sterling, Virginia, these minis will showcase a classic Northern Virginia fall, perfect for your holiday cards or updating family photos.
Date: Saturday, October 24
Rain Date: Sunday, October 25
Investment: $335
Each mini session is 20 minutes long and includes:
10 high-resolution, hand-edited jpeg files;
professional retouching (as desired);
a private proofing gallery where you choose your favorite 10 images;
a clothing guide (if desired); and
an online final gallery with cloud storage of up to one year.
These sessions are designed to be short and sweet with me doing all the corralling needed to get the kids actively participating. You sit back and let me worry about getting your must have shots.
Spots are limited and will go quickly - claim your session today. Let's document your family in this phase of life among Northern Virginia's stunning fall foliage.
FAQs - Fall Mini Sessions
What should we wear?
Neutrals with (or without) a pop of color. Earthy, warm tones work well like forest green, mustard yellow, burnt orange or chocolate brown. The goal is always to vibe with the background colors, NOT compete. Reduce patterned clothing to one person. If you want more detailed advice, be sure to let me know in your questionnaire when you book and I’ll send you my clothing guide. I'm always available to talk through options as well.
What happens if it rains?
I’ve secured a rain date on Sunday, October 25th. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, your session will be moved to that date. I'll be sure to reach out as the weather predictions change.
Can we bring a pet or extended family?
Sure! But be aware that additional people and pets may end up taking away time from your list of "must have" shots. We'll only have 20 minutes together so be sure to evaluate how much coordination time will be needed in having those additional folks - or fur babies - present. My mini sessions are stacked back to back so unfortunately I will not be able to add additional time to your session.
