Mini Session Questionnaire

I’m so looking forward to photographing your family. Please help me get to know you, and especially your children, by answering the questions below. Your answers will help me to plan out your session and get the best smiles from your kiddos! 

    Your Name *
    Email Address *
    Tell me a bit about each member of your family that will participate in the session. (Names, ages of kids, likes and dislikes, hobbies, personality traits, super-powers, etc.)
    What are the kids interested in and what makes them smile/laugh? (Favorite characters, TV shows, funny noises, being silly, etc.)

    Let me know why you want family photos? (Maybe you do annual family photos, or it’s been too long since your previous session. Or maybe you’re celebrating a special occasion like a new baby or pet, or a birthday.)
    Is there anything else you think would be helpful for me to know before our session? (Examples include super shy children, physical difficulties and disabilities, autism, and the like.)
    Do you or your family members have specific features you would NOT want retouched? (Examples include birthmarks, moles, etc.)
    Which images are important to you? (check 2-3 for mini sessions) family togetherkids individuallykids togetherparents togetherparent/kid pairs Other (please specify)
    If you were referred by someone, who can I thank?

    I will add you to my infrequent email newsletter with updates and specials, unless you request otherwise. I will never send you spam or sell your email.
