Fall 2018 Mini Sessions

Mini sessions this year were a big hit! I love being able to offer this for families where it fits their lifestyle. Maybe they don’t want to spend a lot of time getting family photos done. Maybe they only really want to focus on one great whole family photo and don’t need a lot of extras. Maybe they want something a little more affordable for their budget. Whatever the reason, I am happy they booked me for their session. Honestly, you can get A LOT of photos taken in 20 minutes. And…I am not the best at narrowing down images. :) They are all so good!

Here are some of my favorites from my mini sessions. Some were in Carmel, Zionsville, and Greensburg. But, they all were wonderful! I had such a great time with each one of these families.

Would you be interested in mini sessions in the spring? If I have enough interest, I will set some dates in May to offer mini sessions.

Please contact me here if you are wanting to book a session. Or email me at hello@jenndavisphoto.com.

Kate is ONE!!

I love it when the newborns I photograph come back for milestone sessions!! Kate has grown so much over the last year. This family is extra special because I have done their family photos since their family started! I photographed Brittany and Kevin for their engagement session and wedding. And I have done 3 milestone sessions for Kate over the last year. Brittany told me that pretty much all the photos in their house have been taken by me and that makes my heart SMILE!

I can't wait to see where this little girl goes in life. She is on the move and not slowing down! 

And here is a peek back to her newborn session. So tiny!

Finley - Fresh 48 Session - Zionsville Newborn Photographer

I LOVE these types of sessions! Ashley and Daniel wanted me to capture the moment their daughter, Madison, met her new little brother. She was so cute! She was apprehensive, but excited. And...she was definitely the star of the show and let everyone know she was the one in charge. ;) Baby Finley was born early Saturday morning. He was just adorable! Perfect new baby skin, soft blonde hair, and big dark eyes. He was awake for most of the session and those eyes were taking it all in! I can't wait to see him for his newborn session later this week.

The Phillips Family - Westfield Family Photographer

This session was so fun! From the very beginning, I felt welcomed into this family. Their smiles and laughter were contagious. Plus...their family farm is beautiful!! It was a HOT day, but everyone cooperated and we finished the session with TONS of beautiful images. Here are some of my favorites.

Thank you to the Phillips family for this FUN session!!

With love,

8 Tips For What To Wear – Ways to look your best during your session

Figuring out what to wear during a session can always be stressful. I know from experience! But, there are a few tips that can help you in your journey to put together a GREAT wardrobe for your session. 

1.  Choose a coordinating color, but not the same outfit - Pick a color that can be included in part of each family member’s ensemble. However, you don’t want everyone to look like they match.

2.  Limit distracting patterns and logos – Stay away from small check patterns, too many distracting patterns, and anything with large logos that might take the eye away from what you are wanting to capture.

3.  Consider your home décor – These photos are most likely going to be seen around your home. Consider what colors and outfits will go well with your color scheme and décor. Also, think about timeless outfits for photos that can be art for years to come.

4.  Clothing that fits well – Outfits that are too large can look unkempt and baggy. Wearing clothes that are baggy are unflattering to your figure. Also, making sure the children’s outfits fit well is very important. Trying on all outfits before the day of the session is a great idea.

5.  Comfortable & Confident – During the session, you and your family want to feel comfortable in different poses and could be doing some walking around. When you feel uncomfortable, it can show in photos. I want you to relax and have fun. Being comfortable and confident in what you are wearing will help.

6.  Think about the little details – While your beautiful faces and expressions are what the photos are about, don’t forget all the little details. Remember to include accessories/textures that aren’t too distracting. Scarves, lace, cute tights, suspenders, vest, sweaters, jewelry, belts, etc. And, don’t forget about shoes. Stay away from crocs, shoes with characters on them, and excessively worn shoes. Also think about socks, as they might be seen while sitting.

7. Dress for location/weather – Consider outfits based on where the session will be located. If it’s springtime and there are lots of green, stay away from greens. When deciding what to wear, pick colors that will complement the backdrop and not compete with it. Also, dress appropriately for the weather. If you or your children are too hot or too cold it will show in the photographs. Everyone needs to be comfortable during the session.

8.  Lay all outfits out together – It’s always helpful to lay everything out together to see what works and what doesn’t. Plus, you can make sure you aren’t forgetting any essential piece of clothing. 

Remember, feeling great during your session and having a good experience is so important. Plan ahead for success and a beautiful session!

Alaina is 2!!

Alaina was born 2 years ago and I can remember going to the hospital after she was born. Kristin and Kyle welcomed me in to their hospital room to take photos of their new arrival. Since that day, I have been photographing Miss Alaina every year. It has been so fun to watch her grow. I'm looking forward to many more years to come!

With love, Jennifer
