Tony + Jonelle are a great couple we met through Gerry’s brother and his wife. They currently live here in Dayton, but are just weeks away from moving to their new home in Indiana, where they will be serving full-time with Keynote Ministries. As part of their send-off, they wanted new photos for things like their ministry newsletter and some updated family portraits. Because they knew exactly what they needed, I suggested we get together for a quick mini session. Jonelle quickly agreed.
We met early on Saturday morning in a parking lot behind a BBQ restaurant and took off on a mission, searching for some kind of ledge that Jonelle could stand on to give her the extra 15 inches she needed to be the same height as Tony. We were inspired by Pinterest, again. It was important to get that shot.
Wink.
Thirty minutes later, this is what we had:
I noticed Tony had a very, very difficult time not smiling while he was kissing his sweetheart. Not that he was trying not to smile; but look at that. He’s cheesing!
There’s that smile again.
That big guy is Moses. He’s their baby. He got some of those smile kisses, too.
we found the ledge toward the end of the session — and she’s actually a little taller than Tony. So cute.
And that’s a mini session!
We schedule these short shoots about 4-6 times a year, and they can take place anywhere; from inside a basement to the streets of an old town. The only thing that’s limited is time. Mini shoots last 30 minutes and result in about 20 proofs to share online and choose from for printing.
The benefit of a shoot like this is that you can get a few pictures for use on specific materials like announcements, Christmas cards, or newsletters without spending extra time or money. If you want to talk about setting one up, send us an email: photos@fullamphotography.com
