Fall Mini Sessions | Indianapolis Family Photographer

It’s been a few years since I’ve blogged some mini sessions. My fall mini’s have become some of my most popular offerings - selling out fast the past couple years. I love mini days - fun, quick sessions at some of my fav locations. And even though the sessions are fast, I still am able to get a variety of shots and plenty of poses in a session. After doing this awhile, I have a typical flow for each session and it helps me rock them out to get great results in a short period of time.

The mini’s featured in this blog are from last November. It was a gorgeous fall day - in the 60’s and it was the last weekend of the beautiful fall foliage. The leaves literally all fell down 4 days later. All sessions were returning clients which truly makes for a fun day. I love meeting new clients but there is something about the feeling when a past kid client comes running up hugging me and calling me by name. That is where the important relationships are created.

I typically offer a couple dates of mini sessions in the spring and I have been offering three dates in the fall. If you are not a past client of mine and want to be notified first of mini offerings, reply with your info in the comments section of this post and I will add you to my newsletter. Newsletter recipients get first dibs on mini sessions before I open them up to the general public.

Fall Mini Fun | Indianapolis Family Photographer

The dynamics of the fall mini - quick & dirty, fall colors, cooler weather, perfect timing for Christmas card pics. They are popular and my fall mini slate was full last year.  In late October and early November I had 20 fall mini's, held at a few different locations. I had a wonderful combination of past clients and new ones.  It's always great to see familiar faces and catch up (as much as you can in 20 minutes) and then connect with new families.  

Kudos and a huge thanks to all that participated in my mini sessions last fall.  They are marathon days for me but I love every minute.  Below are some of my favs. I hope to see everyone again next year!!  

If you want to get in on the fall mini fun next year, shoot me a note at kellymartinphotos@gmail.com and I'll add you to my newsletter so you'll be one of the first notified.

Fall Mini Sessions | West Park, Carmel | Carmel Family Photographer

On October 17th I held my first fall mini sessions of the season at West Park in Carmel.  I had two families join me on that chilly, bright sunny day: The Kerrigan's and the Babbs. 

The Kerrigan's were referred to me by our good friends the Landrigan's (they were one of my first clients and haven't hit the blog yet - stay tuned for that).  Mary and Adam have a very active 2 year-old, Isaac, and another boy on the way.  I'm honored they also chose me to be their newborn photographer when #2 arrives in December (due on Christmas day!!).  What a Christmas blessing for this family (: 

My second session of the day was the Babbs Family.  They are ironically also good friends with the Landrigan's but we also all know each other from a marriage prep course we facilitate called One in Christ.  We facilitated with the Babbs at the October session and I was able to talk them into a mini (:  Sarah and her husband Eric have an almost 5 year-old girl Maggie and almost 2 year-old twins Charlie and Mary Cate.  The kids had fun posing (the girls) and running around (Charlie).  Mary Cate was digging the camera action.  I was glad to get to meet Sarah and Eric's children after hearing so much about them during our marriage prep weekend.   (:  Eric and Sarah demonstrate such love and patience with their children - such an example for others.  We all know having young children is chaos but the rewards are oh so sweet. 

Thanks to the Kerrigan's and the Babbs for a fun afternoon and for participating in my fall mini sessions!
