Mother’s Day Mini Session
Saturday, May 13th, 2023
Celebrating Moms of All Kinds!
I want to thank you for signing up for my Mother’s Day Mini Session! Before our session, please fill out the questionnaire at the bottom of this page so I can better gauge your expectations, ideas, and goals for your session and get to know you and your family/group a little better before the shoot. Preparation and communication are the keys to a successful photoshoot, so make sure to share all your ideas and concerns with me on your questionnaire! If you would like to share some example photos, a Pinterest board, and/or poses you like, feel free to email that information to me prior to the session at hollycapassophotography@gmail.com.
As we prepare for your session, here is some information about what to expect:
Location and Timing
The mini session well be held at the Wilton Nature Preserve - Old Gick Parcel, located at 4402 NY-50, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866. When you arrive for your photo session, you can park and meet me in the small parking lot off Route 50. Feel free to arrive early if you’d like walk some of the trails and to scope out the location prior to your session. The preserve is comprised of a sandy trail system with tall grass, various wildflowers, and open fields - a perfect backdrop for mom and kiddos!
As these are short 20 minute sessions and may run back to back with others, please arrive on time ready to photo. Please text me at 585-506-7173 if you are running late just so I know!
If the weather isn’t looking so good, I’ll give you a heads up prior to the evening of the session. From there, we can either decide to go for it, or reschedule the shoot for a later date that works best for both parties.
Session Tips and Details
Try to use the bathroom prior to session if you can. These sessions are held in locations with limited to no bathroom access.
These sessions will take place in the evening, so if you have small kids, you might want to give them a nap to make sure they are up and still going for the session. They might just nap in the car on the way to the shoot!
Make it a fun evening! Plan a dinner out on the town, take a walk in the preserve, or visit downtown Saratoga Springs nearby before or after the shoot!
Don’t get too anxious or nervous for the shoot. I will be right there to direct you and make the photos as natural as possible. Just be your natural self and enjoy the ride!
If you’d like any tips on clothing choices, reach out to me and I can help out with it!
