Spring is almost here, which means flowers are starting to bloom, the sun is shining (most days, anyway), and it’s the perfect time to capture sweet memories with an Easter Mini Session! If you’ve been thinking about getting updated photos of your little one, Easter minis are a fun, quick, and stress-free way to do just that. Whether this is your first time booking a session or you’re a seasoned pro, here’s everything you need to know to make the most of your child’s Easter photos.
What’s an Easter Mini Session, Anyway?
Easter mini sessions are short and sweet photo sessions designed to capture the joy of the season without the commitment of a full session. Think adorable springtime setups, pastel colors, and maybe even a few bunny ears (because let’s be real, baby bunnies and babies in bunny ears are equally cute). These sessions are designed to be quick and fun, perfect for little ones who have a limited attention span. You’ll walk away with beautiful images that showcase your child’s personality and the magic of the season!
How to Prepare for Your Easter Mini Session
Now, let’s talk about getting ready. I know what you’re thinking— “How do I get my toddler to cooperate for photos?” The good news is, I’ve got you covered! Here’s how to ensure a smooth and successful session:
1. Choose the Right Outfit
Pastel colors, light neutrals, or soft floral prints work beautifully for Easter photos. Keep comfort in mind—if your child hates ruffles or stiff fabrics, opt for something cozy and breathable. Simple outfits let your child’s personality shine and ensure the focus stays on their sweet expressions (instead of that scratchy dress they keep tugging at).
2. Bring a Favorite Toy or Snack
Sometimes, a tiny bit of bribery works wonders! A small snack (nothing too messy) or a favorite stuffed animal can help little ones feel more at ease in a new setting. Plus, that beloved lovey or bunny can make an adorable prop in photos.
3. Arrive Well-Rested and Fed
Nothing ruins the mood faster than a hangry toddler (we’ve all been there). We try to schedule around naps and meal times so your little one is feeling their best. A happy, well-fed kiddo is more likely to be engaged and cooperative during their session.
Listen, I’ve photographed enough little ones to know that sometimes, things don’t go as planned—and that’s okay! Maybe they don’t want to wear the bunny ears, or they suddenly decide shoes are the enemy. That’s part of the magic! Some of the sweetest moments come from those in-between moments—the goofy faces, the sweet cuddles, or the tiny hands clutching an Easter egg like it’s treasure.
Once your session is over, we'll view your images together where you can select the ones that make you smile from the inside out. We will then edit the images for you and the purchased web files will be sent to you to share and enjoy, all in the same day. Whether you want us to print them for Easter gifts, create an album for your coffee table, or share them with family and friends, these photos will be a treasured keepsake for years to come.
