yahoo Year six!
Going into our 6th annual year of Mommy & Me Super Minis has me right giddy. I started this fun endeavour in an effort for all Mothers young and *Mature* to be able to have beautiful photos with our babies - regardless of their age, and their budget. I'm sure we have all been in the predicament of the "dad" photos. They mean well, but can't they just get ONE good angle!? Love em' anyway. Feel free to take a gander through Year 5 Mommy & Me: Super Minis CLICK HERE!
When: May 3rd, 11:00am - 2:00pm & May 4th, 2:00pm - 4:00pm
*ANY + ALL WEATHER CHANGES/REVISIONS WILL BE NOTED HERE ON THIS BLOG POST*
Where: The setup location is in Charlie Lake. If you have joined us for Mommy & Me's in the past, it'll be at the same place as last yrs. Here is a google maps location PIN. https://maps.app.goo.gl/5ab6DsSe853vUM9J9
How Does it Work: This is a drop in event, no bookings required. In the past we have found that waiting with your children IN the car has been the best/easiest way to corral them while waiting for your turn. Simply wait in the car lineup (its a round-about driveway) until you get to the front of the line and then head over to the set up. Please make sure you are getting prepared prior to your turn, so wipe the faces, change into the good outfit etc. so that when you are at the front, you are ready to go! In the last 2 yrs, the longest someone had to wait (that I was informed) was 20 minutes. The photos themselves take around 5 mins depending on the number of groupings. When the editing is done, I upload ALL the images to a mass group gallery. You are then welcome to find and download your own images from there.
Cost: This is a pay what you can, CASH event. I realize that not everyone has the budget for a professional photo and thus this event was born. When it is your turn there will be a spot to check in, including your name/email and a box for payment.
FAQ:
"When do we get the photos back?" - Guaranteed delivery prior to Mothers Day 2025
"How much do people normally pay?" - I don't oversee the payment process. This is truly a pay what you can event. I do encourage people to pay what the photos are worth to them, also taking into account how many "moms" y'all are bringing.
"How long will we wait?" - Hopefully not long, I work quite quickly. On average, since we started doing the drive through method, I have heard reviews of wait times around 15/20 minutes.
"What should I wear?" - I always advise to step it up from your daily outfits. Coordinate yourself and your kids in colours that go well together. Jeans & Blouse, Dresses, etc. My setups are defiantly geared toward Spring Vibes so pastels, and neutrals definitely fit in best.
"How many images do I get?" - I do a few different groupings: Mom with all kids, Mom with each individual kids. If Grandma's join in, then obviously we do more groupings including them such as Grandma with all the grand babies, Grandma with her daughter/Son, etc. So depending on the number of people in your party, will determine the amount of photos you receive.
