    3 Reasons to book a Christmas Mini Photoshoot

    3 Reasons to book a Christmas Mini Photoshoot

    3 Reasons to book a Christmas Mini Photoshoot

     

    In the last two years we got so used to… well, NOT plan anything in advance, that these days even talking about Christmas in October seems a bit of a stretch.

    At the same time, weeks and months seem to pass even faster than before so I know the holidays will be here in the blink of an eye.

    And what better than a Christmas mini photoshoot to get in magical, wintery… mood?

    If you are still on fence about booking one of these themed photoshoots for your children, here are 5 reasons you should do it… before they sell out!

     

    Christmas Mini photoshoot

    1 – THE MAGIC

    No, really. 

    I love Christmas and love how magical this time of the year is for children, so I always put extra effort into making these sessions a memorable experience for the little ones.

    From the themed props to the themed Christmassy scenes… everything will be ready for your family, when you come for your session on the 24th October or 6th November 2021 (reserve your slot here www.sliceoflifephotography.co.uk/christmas-mini-photoshoot)

    2 – IT’S A QUICK & EASY SESSION

    These Christmas photoshoots are perfect for babies (they must be able to sit up unaided) and children, and we know even the most magical… magic trick… doesn’t work forever, when it comes to keeping kids occupied.

    That’s why your photoshoot only last 20 minutes: enough time to capture a beautiful gallery of images, but not enough to hear a single “are we done yet??”

    3 – YOU ONLY BUY WHAT YOU LOVE

    Most parents LOVE the idea of top package, which includes 10 digital images and two special themed composites (the Christmas Window and the Snow Globe) however, packages start at 2 digital images for only £69 – so when it comes to budget and images, you have plenty of options to choose from!

    And not just that, our packages are all-inclusive!

    You can reserve your appointment for £25 only, which is then deducted in full from your chosen package… easy!

      What to do with children this October half term in and around Lincolnshire

      October half term is just around the corner.  I always find it a tricky one to fill with activities so I thought it might be helpful to share some of the local attractions to help keep the kids entertained this autumn break. With the help of suggestions from some of my wonderful clients here are a selection of the local attractions you could visit.

      1) October half term includes Haloween this year and after everything being cancelled or scaled down last year we see the return of many Haloween activities.

      The fabulous Burghley House in Stamford turns the scuplture garden in to a fun filled ghost trail.  Find the scupulture garden ghosts and solve the clues in the beautiful gardens of Burghley house.  If you attend in fancy dress there is even a sweet treat gift for you 🙂 

      2) Tyrells Farm, near Cowbit, Spalding have pick your own pumkins available throughout half term.  It looks like there are a variety of pumpkins to explore and plenty of photo opportunities as well as picking your own pumpkin to take home and carve.  If your stuck for carving techniques you can also grab your Free downlodable templates here.

      3) Keeping with the Pumpkin theme.  Kings Lynn have a fab Pumpkin trail that sounds great for getting out and about.   While your there it is a perfect time to pop in and visit the new Maple Tree Bakes pod!  I hear her wagon wheel cookies are to die for. 

      4) The Exotic Pet Refuge just outside market Deeping was a firm favourite with my 2 when they were younger and they are holding a Halloween on 30th October.  A chance to get spooky and support a worthwhile charity too. 

      5) This ones not haloween related but great for if the weather is not so welcoming and now my children are older one they are likely to be utilisiing this october holiday.   Inflatanation in Peterborough is a giant inflatable theme park so great for all the family.  Check out their website too for a 15% discount.  

      6) Ferry Meadows Country Park – Ferry Meadows is where many of my own childhood memories were made and is somewhere I visit regularly with my own children. There are a range of play areas for children, boat and train rides, walks around the lakes and plenty of open fields to kick a ball or throw a frisbee. There are also lots of picnic areas and BBQ spots that make for a great family picnic. Ferry Meadows also has a water sports centre where older kids can try a spot of wind surfing and canoeing. They often run activities during school holidays so it’s worth checking out their website for more info.

      I hope that you have found this article helpful and that you have a spooktastic Half term. Are you planning on visiting anywhere different this holidays? Why not share your top places to visit in the comments for others to share or let me know what you think if you visit any of my recommendations.

      Enjoy the half term holiday fun.

        Photographer Appreciation Month

        Photographer Appreciation Month

        Photographer Appreciation Month

        October is Photographer Apprecition month!  It reminds us to show a little extra appreciation to those who go the extra mile to capture the important moments in our lives and make them last forever.   As a photographer myself it seems a little odd to be acknowledging the custom directly but for me Photographer appreciation month is about acknowledging the amazing people around me that help me to be the best photographer I can. 

        behind the scenes of babyphotoshoot

        First up I want to acknowledge my fabulous 2nd shooter! Lisa from Nix Pix Photography.    Lisa recently worked with me at a wedding and did a fabulous job at capturing candid moments for me as well as assisting with ensure the finer details were just right for capturing the more posed portraits. 

        Sleaford photography studio

        Working solo in a studio can be a lonely affair.  Once a shoot is over and I am hiding away in my little office, editing or carrying out the other zillion admin jobs I have to undertake it can be very secluded.  And so for this I give thanks to the local photography community.  My Personal Photographer Appreciation nomination goes to Kerry.   Kerry Unwin Photography  is seemling my nearest competitor however actually we chat daily and discuss ideas and use each other as a sounding board.  Despite it seeming we are in direct competion with one another this is not the case.  We lift each other, offer support and encouragement to each other and send referrals across when appropiate.

        I wouldn’t be able to be the phototgrapher I am without the amazing network of suppliers and other small businesses that I access.  In particular I wish to acknowledge my fabulous baker, Hannah from Iced Rose by Hannah!   Hannah is responsible for all the cakes supplied for my cake smashes.  She never fails to get them spot on.  She will acommodate all of the crazy requests I make and is able to work around everyone’s food allergies too. 

        Next up are my own children.  These two are my reason why!  The reason I work so hard.  I want to lead by example and prove you can achieve anything you set your mind too.  I followed my dream and I hope they will do the same.  

        Family

        Finally I need to acknowledge YOU, my amazing clients!  Without you supporting me and visiting time and time again I would not be doing the best job in the world!  Trusting me with your precious bundles and family memories is a true honour and one I hope I get to continue for many more years.

          What to wear for your Christmas Photoshoot

          What to wear for your Christmas Photoshoot

          What to wear for your Christmas Photoshoot

          Many factors are important when creating the perfect photograph. Lighting, posing, facial expressions and clothing all play an important part. If one element is off balance the result can be that the final image doesn’t look right. Christmas Photos are no exception and what to wear for your Christmas photoshoot is an important consideration.

          Below are some top tips from me to help you plan what to wear for your Christmas photoshoot to ensure we can create the best images possible.

          Christmas photoshoot spalding
          1. Co-ordinate Outfits

          It is important to ensure that what each person participating in the photoshoot blends together well.  Co-ordinating outfits is an easy way to create a unified look.   This doesn’t mean everyone should wear exactly the same colours and tones but it does mean that what you wear for your photoshoot should compliment one another.

          1. Simplicity is best

          Photographers want to emphasis your faces and emotion and wearing plain clothing helps to avoid distractions within the photographs.  Logo’s and patterns can draw attention away from you and your family.   That said Tarten is very traditional around Christmas time and can work very well in small quantities within your Christmas photos.

          3. Be Timeless

          Try to avoid wearing clothing that represents the latest fashion. Timeless clothing such as jeans, or a classic style will still look good displayed in your home in years to come.

          4. Dress for the time of year

          This is particularly important for Christmas Photos.  Consider seasonal colours and styles.  Shorts and a t-shirt may look a little out of place in  a winter wonderland.  Opt for festive reds, greens and navy wear possible and clothes that give the appearance of warmth.  Please avoid black.  Please choose between clothes or pyjamas for the bed scene but ensure all participants are wearing the same.   

          5. Shoes Matter

          Don’t forget to think about your footwear.  Fluffy socks are ideal for the bed scene or of course you are welcome to go bare foot.  Shoes appropriate for ‘snowy’ weather are ideal for the outdoor set up.

          6. Be comfortable

          This is especially important for young children. You don’t want them in an outfit that they don’t like or find irritating. The likely outcome is they will be fidgety and tugging at their clothes during their photoshoot.

           

          I hope that you have found this article on what to wear for your Christmas photoshoot helpful in planning the perfect outfit.  If you wish to share your ideas with me ahead of your session then please do get in touch for advise.
