Fall Mini Session | Warrenton, Virginia Portrait Photographer

Every year, I host an annual Christmas mini session extravaganza. It always starts the Christmas season on the right note with Christmas cheer! 🙂 Who doesn’t love an official start getting into the spirit?! This year, I thought why not photograph these portraits earlier in the season, so families have the time to enjoy their pictures before they send out Christmas cards. 🙂 The only thing is now I’m getting into the Christmas spirit sooner than usual! Is it too early to start decorating? 😉

When I first announced these fall portrait sessions, I didn’t expect all thirteen slots would book within twelve hours! My gratitude to everyone who booked a slot is overwhelming. THANK YOU!!!! Each of these sessions below had a 15-minute session and boy, did we use the 15 minutes efficiently! We managed to play around the park and catch up while having fun! I had the BEST time with everyone and could have easily kept going at the end of the day. Maybe it was the two cups of coffee (which I never drink) or the fact that we got an extra hour of sleep due to daylight savings or just because we were having that much fun! 🙂 Enjoyed every minute!

I have to add a quick note, especially if you are a photographer! One of the BEST things I brought with me to make these sessions a breeze, especially when photographing kids or dogs, was a cow squeaky toy! I cannot tell you how many times I used it throughout the day and it WORKED! I added it to my bag a year ago, and it has saved me in so many situations, especially if I have a kid who is on the verge of crying or I have dogs who refuse to look at my camera. I’m going to keep the toy in my car, so I always have it handy. 🙂 I mean, look at Molly’s photo (above)! Made my heart swell with joy as soon as she cocked her head! CUTE!!!

THANK YOU, to everyone, who came out on Sunday!!! I had a wonderful time and look forward to the next mini session extravaganza! I only host mini sessions once a year in November/December, but I can hardly wait until next year! Here are some previews from our time together. 🙂 When looking through the photos, was SO hard choosing a selected amount of photos to share today … soooo many favorites from each session! Enjoy!!
