Christmas Picture Tips

MP is in full swing of Christmas sessions. It is an exciting time to be a photographer. I love connecting and meeting new families. Thank you to all my faithful clients who spread my name around. The past two weeks have been busy. Creating and designing Christmas cards, collages (which make awesome presents), and editing pictures for galleries has kept us on our toes.


If you haven't set up a time yet, give us a call, email, or facebook message. We'd love to fit you in. Here are few things to remember:
  • Timing is everything: Make sure it's the best time of day for your kids
  • Outdoor pics are fun: Dress with hats and scarfs and leave the coats off. Your kids will survive.
  • Daylight sessions have to start by 4pm.
  • If you want outfit changes, bring em'.
  • We like to capture natural moments; we won't pose every picture.
  • Don't put every family member in the same exact color. Mix it up!
  • Bring along a favorite toy for your kids. Snacks are good too.
  • We love bare feet. Think out of the box.
  • If your hubby doesn't love pictures, remind him this is not mall photos. Much more relaxed!
  • If we need to stop so your baby needs fed, we'll do it.
  • Bring tissues and wipeys. Boogers are photoshop time consuming.
  • The studio is on the small side and designed for 3-4 people max. Best options for larger families will be outdoors.
  • When you schedule a session, we will shoot indoor and outdoor shots. 
  • Don't say Cheese! Natural.
  • Your photos will be edited and ready in your custom online gallery within 3 days (may vary). Remember that we hand pick and edit each of your prints in your gallery and that takes time.
  • Your best bet is to order within 1 week. 

Finally, if you want pictures by Christmas your session needs to be by December 10th and placing your order by December 15th.  If you want to send Christmas cards, your session needs to be by Dec 5th and you placing your order by December 10th.
Any session between December 11-20th may purchase a DVD and print on your own for Christmas.

We hope you trust in MP for your family, wedding, engagement, belly/baby, and special occasion pictures!
