The Complete Guide

Summer Beach Mini Sessions

First, some house keeping things!

  • Mom and child playing and running on the beach at sunset, with waves and foam around their feet.

    Should I bring anything?

    I will provide several blanket options for us to use during your shoot!

    If there is anything specific you want in your session please do bring it.

    Bring memorable items depending on the session you booked. (Ex: ultrasound photos, blankets, wine glasses, books, senior jacket, etc.)

    Please bring any items you wish to have handy with you ( hair brush, makeup for touch ups...etc)

  • A woman with curly dark hair walking barefoot on a sandy beach near the ocean at sunset, smiling happily.

    Things to remember

    Timing - You have to show up on time. Mini sessions are only 15 minutes long and do not offer any wiggle room to be late. If you are more than 5 minutes late you will be forfeiting your time slot. Reschedules for mini sessions are $100 and availability may be months away from your original session date. Please arrive EARLY.

    Weather - Please understand that I do not control the weather. My inclement weather policy is to reschedule if it is ACTIVELY raining 2 hours before our session time. Georgia’s weather is extremely unpredictable.

    REMOVE

    Apple Watches

    Hair ties

    Phones (try to leave them in the car or off to the side during the shoot)

    Please keep in mind I do not offer body modifications.

What you wear makes a difference.
