Get ready for the most fun, sun-filled, and sweet session of the year! Your Summertime Sweetness Mini Session will be full of joy, watermelon slices, and vintage truck charm. Here’s your guide to help you prepare for your sunny photoshoot:
What to Bring
- A Change of Clothes: We’ll be enjoying watermelon and sunshine, so it’s always a good idea to bring an extra set of clothes—just in case!
- Towels: Perfect for wiping off watermelon juice or drying off after a splash of water (if you want to cool off!).
- Sunscreen: Don’t forget to protect your skin from the summer sun, especially if the session is outdoors.
- Pets: If you’re bringing your furry family members, make sure to bring their leash, water, and a treat to keep them happy and focused.
- Snacks for Little Ones: Keeping your kiddos happy and energized is key, so pack a few snacks for the session if needed!
How to Prepare
- Talk to Your Kids: Let them know that this session is all about having fun and enjoying the moment. Let them get excited about the vintage truck and the watermelon!
- Practice Smiling & Playing: Get them used to smiling and having fun in front of the camera by playing games or doing mock “photo shoots” at home.
- Arrive Early: Plan to arrive at least 10 minutes early so you can relax, get settled, and let everyone feel comfortable before the session starts.
- Check the Weather: Keep an eye on the weather in case we need to make any last-minute adjustments. If the weather isn’t ideal for the session, we’ll reschedule!
Wardrobe Tips and Ideas
- Light & Airy Fabrics: Think breathable, comfy fabrics like cotton, linen, or soft knits that will keep you cool in the summer heat.
- Soft Pastels & Brights: Light blues, pinks, yellows, and soft neutrals look amazing against the vintage truck and the fun decor. A pop of color can really make the photos stand out!
- Fun Prints: Stripes, gingham, florals, and polka dots are perfect for a summery, playful vibe.
- Denim & Casual Looks: Light denim, overalls, or casual shorts and skirts work great and keep the look relaxed and natural.
- Accessories: Don’t shy away from fun hats, sunglasses, or hair accessories—just keep in mind that everything is going to be part of the fun and may get a little messy!
- Matching but Not Too Much: Try coordinating colors and styles for a cohesive look, but don’t worry about being too matchy. This is about natural connection and fun!
Pro Tips
- Go Barefoot: Barefoot photos are timeless, relaxed, and so fitting for a summer session! If you’re up for it, let everyone go barefoot and feel the grass under their feet.
- Stay Relaxed: The best photos come when you’re enjoying the moment! It’s okay if the kids are a little messy or distracted—they’re being themselves, and that’s what makes the photos beautiful.
- Bring Water: Make sure to stay hydrated throughout the session—especially if it’s a hot summer day.
