Hello!
Thank you for expressing an interest in the 2022
Kim Winey Photography Christmas session!
As you probably already know, each Christmas session has a theme or story. This year's theme is
"Before the Ball"
Your family will step into a beautiful dressing room where you'll be "getting ready" for the Christmas ball.
We'll take stunning photos of you all as you prepare for your (imaginary) elegant evening at the ball. For example- you may be putting on jewelry, straightening ties, applying lipstick, etc... We'll also get some fun candids and maybe even a few romantic photos during our time together. And as always, we'll get at least one classic shot of the whole family posed and looking at the camera. The scene also has several mirrors which will give us opportunities for some creative, reflection imagery.
The scene and some of the lighting will have an old Hollywood feel. To fully embrace this look, at least 50% of your photos will be in black and white. However, the color palette of spiced plum, mauve, blush, black, and gold is too good not to show so you'll have images in full color, as well!
This theme is perfect for almost all ages, especially older kids, teens, and adults. If you have a baby or toddler we'll chat before booking to see if we think it's doable. Typically if you have only one it'll work!
While the photos will look as though "Before the Ball" happened at night, this session can take place almost any time of day thanks to room-darkening curtains.
"The Experience"
It's important that we not only create one-of-a-kind photos for you but that we have an unnnnforgettable experience, as well. I truly want everyone to have a great time as we capture some gorgeous photos.
With that goal in mind, each experience will include:
(before your session)
~ an invitation to our private Facebook group where you'll find loads of info about our session, as well as see behind-the-scenes images as the scene is prepared
~ styling assistance to help you and your family select the perfect outfits & accessories
(during your session)
~ access to the prop and clothing closet to borrow any clothing pieces, accessories, or props, at no additional cost
~ fun prompts to create natural-looking photos that feel more like playing & having fun than posing (We create pictures but the memories we create are just as meaningful!)
~ and a tidbit to eat because a) food is my love language and b) hanger is real and we need to avoid it at all costs
...
