Mother's Day Mini Session Preparation Guide

Thank you so much for choosing me to capture these precious memories for you. This guide is designed to prepare you and your children for your upcoming session and to answer any questions you might have! If any of your questions went unanswered, please do not hesitate to contact me at hi@lisajohnsonphotography.ca.

Location

My home studio is located in Stittsville at 322 Eaglehead Crescent. Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your session and wait in your vehicle until your scheduled time or you see the previous clients leaving. If I do not answer the door right away, you may enter and wait in the front entry. If you are late your session may be cut short as someone may be scheduled right after you. It is very important to arrive on time!

What to expect

My intention with these sessions is to capture the tender embrace of a mother and her babe. Moments you wish were caught for you - all the cuddles, the giggles, and the gentle feeds. I will be there to direct your poses but most of your time will be interacting with your children and giving them all the cuddles and kisses. I’ll capture your love and special connection.

What to wear

I have 7 beautiful dresses available for mama in white, beige (x2), caramel, mocha, sheer white & brown. The dresses available are chosen to match the style/colours of the studio and my overall photography style. These dresses are very stretchy (fits sizes XS-XL) and are very flattering on new mamas! If you prefer to bring your own outfit I strongly suggest wearing white/cream/beige/brown tones (Please avoid bright colours and black).

You are welcome to use any items from my client closet for your children! Outfits vary in sizes from newborn-7. Head over to my Instagram stories highlight "Client Closet" to see all your options!

After the session

Within 2-3 weeks of your session, you will receive your full photo collection through a secure online gallery. Galleries will remain online for 2 months, and then will be removed to make room for new sessions. Please ensure you have downloaded your gallery!
