Locations
When I launched Moments to Memories I knew it was going to be essential to have the perfect locations to host my pregnancy announcement sessions. A place where mums feel comfortable capturing such special moments with their families that will soon become memories. Depending what style you are after I have a variety of locations to suit everyone. These are some locations I like to do my sessions at, but if you have a particular location you would like your session to take place at I am more than happy to do that. My locations include, the beach, a beach with mainly rocks, and long grass fields.
Styling your session
Please try and colour coordinate the whole family so you are all wearing similar tones. If you need help with styles or want my opinions of an outfit, don’t hesitate to ask.
Planning for your session
SCHEDULING
I typically book out anywhere between 1-3 months in advance. It is highly recommended to book your session early on in your pregnancy. This guarantees your session and secures a date.
PAYMENT
A session fee is due upon booking your session. Your chosen digital collection package is due the day before your session. You’ll receive an invoice for both payments. Additional digital images can be ordered and paid for after your session date.
WHAT TO BRING
1. Toy if the kids have a favourite beach toy
2. Towel incase you get wet at the beach sessions
3. Spare clothes incase you get wet at the beach session
WHAT TO WEAR
Wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident. If the whole family is being photographed try and coordinate your colours so you are all wearing the same tones. For siblings match to mum and dad so everything is coordinating.
Preparing for your family session
BEFORE YOUR SESSION
Sessions are in the afternoon just before sunset so we can get the perfect lighting, we will arrange a time closer to your session depending on when the sun is setting. Before the shoot I will be in contact with you as to which location you would like and if you would like to use any pieces from our client closet.
DURING YOUR SESSION
Once we arrive at the location we will get straight into it, I do a variety of full length and close up pictures. I will normally photograph the whole family first incase you have young kids that might get distracted and then move onto more candid photos.
AFTER YOUR SESSION
1-2 edited sneak peek photos from your session will be posted on my social media or sent to you within 48 hours. After 1-2 weeks, you will get to choose your favourite images from an online gallery that is protected for your eyes only (and other family members if you wish). Photos in this gallery are raw and unedited. If you wish to upgrade your collection to include extra images, this is your opportunity to do so.
Once you are happy with your choices I will then spend the next 2 weeks editing and putting the finishing touches on your images. This includes exposure edits, colour edits and skin retouching etc. Your finished gallery will then be ready for digital download. The whole process usually takes between 2-4 weeks which can fluctuate depending on how busy my schedule is.
