Disclaimer- Mini sessions are in no way guaranteed. Parents are under order to come with a realistic attitude! Kids are kids. And these are “mini” sessions. Lisa makes every effort to work with your family and kids, but she can not be responsible for members who are not cooperating/smiling for photos, this includes fussy babies, toddlers who will not pose, teens who are stinky and miserable husbands ;) (bring treats and bribes, the husbands love fruit snacks too!) Also be prepared for a LOT of laughing and obnoxious silly faces, Lisa has no shame! PLEASE DO NOT give your kids “treats and bribes” prior to the session, these are magic weapons and to be used when necessary! Please just keep this in mind when you are booking mini sessions. All finished photos will receive editing, but not retouching or extreme measures such as “swapping heads” ;), please make sure your kids are TATTOO free (big pet peeve lol) Please also note anyone saying, “oh but you can just photoshop that right?” will get a pinch :D ALSO mini session can run a little behind at times, if you are waiting for your session to start please be patient and do not interrupt the current session, we are all moms and dads and know sometimes other little ones need a little extra few mins  at times and no one wants any kids to be left out. Thank-you for your understanding.  

If your child is facing any challenges or concerns we should be aware of, if there is special needs that we can accommodate or any restrictions due to disabilities, please contact us with your concerns. We want to make sure that all kids who want to come out are welcomed with open arms!

Cant want to see you all!

Santa Minis 2015

Its beginning to look a lot like SANTA IS COMING!!!

Our annual Santa Mini sessions are BACK! Every child will have a mini session with Christmas Props, as well as time with Santa! These are not just photo sessions, they are an experience. That you get to all be a part of. Throw out your idea of the typical Santa visit though! No waiting in line and praying you get your kids on that big ole lap. We are not looking to replace tradition, but to enhance to it! We don’t pose your kiddos on Santa’s lap, and let him be the main event, we are focused on the kids 100%, their reactions, emotions and Santa is just an idea, and more of a “prop”.

These sessions are honestly the most memorable mini sessions I have ever done, HANDS DOWN. There is an element to these that I did not anticipate when I started doing them 5 years ago :) Being quick and having tons of experience with small kids makes for an excellent mini session photographer. But you add a big guy in a red suit with a beard, WHOA…this takes on something entirely new. I have never been so emotionally excited and exhausted after an event. The pure magical and sometimes horrific reactions had me and my team on our toes!

For this reason we added the “portrait” mini bonus in the beginning of the session with NO Santa to start so no matter what reaction your little ones have, you leave with some holiday magic :) *please note, it is not an option to just do Santa or the portrait session at a discount. If you are just looking for Holiday Mini’s with NO Santa, check out all the Holiday Mini Sessions HERE!

What can you expect?? ANYTHING!!! That’s whats so different about these sessions. You really can’t predict most of the time what the reactions will be. With more time then just plopping your kid on some strangers lap, even kids who are a bit afraid sometimes can overcome that fear and pose with a scary 19 year old in a red suit ;)

And… sometimes, they are still a little nervous :)

And that’s perfectly imperfect as well!

I have to admit, there is a special place in my heart for ALL of these reactions! No matter what way your kiddo reacts, you have the memory forever. And let me tell you as a mom of a 19 year old (who also plays our UN-intimidating Jolly Santa)…. THESE ones are PRICELESS!!!! (literally there are no limitations on what you can do with gold like these!)

As I said, this is an experience!! One I look forward to sharing with you and your kids.  You can choose to prep your kids and tell them what they are doing, or as most do, make it a surprise! You know you kids best. You may just be surprised as to how they react! I am looking forward to a couple of these kids above coming back this year. I can’t wait to see some of those fears turn into excitement :)

When:  November 27, 28, 29, 2015 NEWLY ADDED: Dec 5, 2015 – Quick before Santa goes back to the North Pole!!

Where: Lisa Marie Photography Studio, address is sent with final confirmation!

Whats included: Each session we will be 20 mins long, spending a little time before Santa arrives taking some Christmas themed photos, once we are set, Santa will come in and we will capture their first looks for you to cherish, YES some are absolutely magical and  at times those looks can be, well, …frightful..hehe.. but these are timeless moments!! Santa will pose with your children, give hugs and high fives, as well as give a candy cane and say goodbye. 1-2 weeks later you will receive a high resolution gallery with images via email. YOU get to choose your favourite 5 images (plus one extra per added sibling). Your gallery will have options for instant download, sharing options on all social media sites, custom links for easy emailing, affordable printing options, and safe online storage for up to 10 years, as well as a free app for your smart phone where you can show off your gallery anywhere you are! As well as the options to purchase more images.

What to wear: Please feel free to bring your Christmas outfits, Christmas PJ’s and anything you choose, we will allow for 1 outfit change between Portrait session and Santa session so your welcome to bring 2 outfits.

Who is invited? All children, from newborn to 18 years! Sorry parents these are not for gown ups! No family sessions will be taken at this time, please check out our Christmas mini family sessions or inquire about booking your own family portrait session.
