A GUIDE TO EXPRESS SESSIONS
It’s time for you to get in the photo and experience the magic of express sessions.
These bite-sized, budget-friendly sessions offer a taste of the full professional photography experience. They are quick, super simple to book, and a fantastic starting point if you’re on the fence about a full session. Most importantly, they’re relaxed, fun, and perfect for everyone, including individuals, couples, families, expectant parents, and even our furry friends.
What Are Express Sessions All About?
Express sessions are designed for families who want to create lasting memories. They’re not just about the photos; they’re about freezing moments in time and cherishing them forever. Whether you’re looking to update your family album, surprise your loved ones with heartfelt gifts this Christmas, or simply treat yourself to professional-quality images, express sessions are your best bet.
What to Expect
After your photo shoot, you can look forward to receiving an online gallery of edited images, capturing the joy and love shared during your session. You’ll have a selection of images to choose from, ensuring you find the perfect shots to use for your holiday cards or as cherished keepsakes.
Tips to Prepare for Express Sessions
Dress the Part
Choosing the right clothing can make a world of difference in your photos. Opt for comfortable clothing that you feel good in. Aim for lighter colours or deep earthy tones such as navy blue, khaki, rusty orange combined with white, beige and peach as they complement the natural outdoor setting in Royal Park best. Try to avoid black if possible. Rule is if you go light at the top then choose a darker colour for the bottom and vice versa.
Comfortable Footwear
Especially if you have kids in the mix, ensure everyone is wearing comfortable shoes. Kids can be quite active during photo sessions, so having comfy footwear is a must to keep up with them.
Preparing Kids for the Shoot
Taking photos with children can be an adventure in itself. Make it a fun experience by bringing along their favorite treats, snacks, or some water. A little bribery (we mean treats!) can go a long way in getting those sweet smiles.
Have Fun and Be Natural
The best photos often happen when you’re simply being yourselves. Candid moments capture your family’s unique dynamics, so don’t be afraid to let loose, laugh, and enjoy the experience.
Arrive Early
To make the most of your express session, aim to arrive at least 10 minutes early. This ensures you have enough time to settle in and get comfortable, so you’re ready to shine in front of the camera.
