Prep guide
Thank you for booking in your mini session with Jessica Ross Photography
I'm really looking forward to capturing your family. Family time is fun, adorable, full of love and real moments,
this is what I aim to capture of your family, the connection & love you have for each other.
With your children anytime is a special time in your life to capture, children grow so fast, you will look back on these images for many years to come
Thank you for letting me be a part of such a special time!
I have put together this prep guide as your go-to resource to help you prepare for the best possible outcome.
I will be in contact a couple days before your session where you can ask any final questions you may have.
PREPARING FOR THE SESSION
Please arrive 5-10 mins early to your session, the sessions are quick so you and the kids can get settled and we can get straight into it. If you are late this will take into your time as the next session will be straight after you.
Please bring clothing and all accessories needed. You can arrive and get your children dressed at the session if you are worried about them getting messy on the way.
To be extra prepared, bring snacks & a favourite toy to comfort them if they are feeling a bit overwhelmed.
WHAT TO WEAR
I recommend you choose a style you like and a few colours you like as well
Pick colours that compliment each other
eg. neutral colours (white, tans, greys, light denim etc)
soft colours (Light pinks, blues, yellow etc)
deep colours (jewel tones, like mustard yellow, deep purple, turquoise, dark pink etc) Textures look great, eg lace, velvet, faux fur, ruffles etc
Avoid busy patterns and big pictures or logos.
Beanies, hats or little booties can be included you wish. Complimenting the colours will make a huge a difference in the final product.

I also have a Client Wardrobe for Maternity & Family Sessions. This is a free service I offer my clients. I source the most beautiful fabrics, designs and textures that photograph beautifully and fit most. These dresses can be worn if you have a baby bump or no bump.
I will have my wardrobe with me so you can pick your favourite and try them on.
DURING YOUR SESSION
Children are unpredictable..... so, it's my job to be ready for anything! Sometimes you may feel the session doesn't seem
to be going perfectly, but those small moments in between any tantrums, crying and chaos are beautiful.
People are often surprised to see there are so many great pictures.
The only job I give parents is to relax & enjoy it! I will do all of the hard work. I will chat with the kids and get to know them & give direction during the session so you will know exactly what to do.
Mostly being to play and have fun with your kids, throw them in the air, cuddle & smother them in kisses and interact with them. Enjoy this time together as a family !
Children match your energy, so if you are having fun and showing them how much you love them, they will show you the same in return.
AFTER THE SESSION
After your session, I will get to work on culling your images down to the very best of the best, then editing those images and getting them up into your gallery. Once they're ready, I'll be in touch with the link to your gallery.
When you're ready choose your favourite 5 images for download
You can upgrade to your full gallery for $150 or add on any beautiful products in the Print Store
Copyrights (and wrongs):
Once you've got your digital files in hand, you are free to print them when, where, and as often as
you wish - you can use them to make holiday cards, share on your social media pages or personal blog, etc. The only things you can't do are related to the resale of your photos or use for commercial/business purposes. For instance, if you authored a book, you'd need additional permission to use one of the photos on the dust jacket, and you wouldn't be able to enter one of the photos into a contest and win prize money for it. Otherwise, you've got free reign.
Printing your images
While everything that I offer in my store is printed in professional labs and guaranteed to be beautiful, I also recognize that you may want to print your images yourself, and thanks to those digital files, you absolutely can! I recommend
ProAm Digital for local printing and Pixel Perfect for online prints. Be sure to upload the original files you downloaded, not copies. The files you receive from me should allow you to print up to 20x30" at minimum.
SOME OF THE PRODUCTS YOU CAN ORDER IN THE PRINT STORe
I look forward to creating beautiful memories of your family
