Mini sessions are sort of like Christmas to me...only better. You know how you spend weeks or even months getting ready for Christmas? Choosing just the right presents for the children, planning all the right trips to see lights, visit family, sit on Santa's knee? Preparing all the right foods and cleaning until even the dust motes sparkle as they drift through the air? And then on Christmas morning there is this massive sense of the anti-climactic. The kids tear through the wrapped presents with nary a thought in their little sugar-plum filled heads for the time and attention you paid to coordinating bows with paper. This gift has to be taken back because it doesn't fit and that gift must be returned because it doesn't work. At the end of the day, the house is a wreck, there is literally no room in the fridge for the ridiculous amounts of leftovers. So at the end of it all, instead of a feeling of satisfaction and joy, you are left with this very real, very urgent need to just cry. Yeah, well mini sessions are sort of like that with one big exception: after all the planning, the creating, the painting, the arranging, the blogging, and the Facebooking, there is a studio full of clients and there is proof in your camera that all of those hours upon hours of cutting lace and burlap into exactly 8.5 foot strips were definitely worth the effort!
My really favorite part of the mini sessions is the wide array of people who come and they all want something a little different. One wants classic, clean portraits, while another wants soft focus images with texture and a little something extra. No matter which one you are, I am grateful that you came today because now the REAL fun begins for me. I get to play with the images.
P.S. Please forgive me if this blog entry rambles and has errors in it. I refuse to proofread when I could be editing instead! :))
Here is a link to some of the sweetness happening over on my Facebook page:
