Holidays are about celebrating traditions, spreading joy, and creating beautiful memories with your loved ones. They offer a simple beauty that can be forever encased in a photograph, a memory forever frozen in time. At Courtney Mitchell Photography, we understand how essential it is to capture these sparkling moments, and this is why we have streamlined our process to ensure a seamless, enjoyable experience for you.

Step 1: Booking Your Session

Booking your holiday photography session with us is a breeze. Simply visit our website, select 'Book A Session' and provide a few essential details. You will receive a confirmation email and text shortly after. As soon as we are available, someone from the studio will personally call you to begin planning your session. Remember: the early bird truly does get the worm. Starting early gives you ample time to prepare, and it ensures that your stunning holiday cards are ready to be sent out in good time.

Step 2: Selecting the Perfect Location

A beautiful setting can drastically enhance the ambiance of your photos. Courtney Mitchell personally enjoys working with clients to find the ideal backdrop, whether that's at the studio, in the comfort of your beautifully decorated home or a stunning outdoor location. She'll sit with you, discuss your preferences, and offer expert suggestions based on your unique requirements and her rich experience in various locales.

Step 3: The Right Outfit Selection

Choosing the right outfits is crucial to making your photographs pop. Remember, simplicity is key. Opt for colors that complement your skin tones and the location you selected. At Courtney Mitchell Photography we begin with the end in mind. What does that mean?  Basically, think about what end result you want to have from this session.  If its a large piece of Wall Art for your living room, then choose colors that will compliment your living room decor.  But remember to remain true to your family's style. After all, these photographs are a celebration of you, and they should reflect your true essence.

Step 4: Prepping for the Photo Day

The day before the photoshoot, make sure each family member tries on their outfits to ensure a perfect fit. This step can eliminate any last-minute scrambles. Relax and get a good night's sleep—the best pictures emanate from a radiant and happy state of mind.

On the photo day, we encourage you to enjoy every moment. The focus isn't solely on the perfect pose but the genuine emotion behind it. Feel the holiday spirit, enjoy the togetherness, and let that joy reflect in your photographs.

Step 5: Reviewing Your Photos

After the session, we'll invite you to a personalized sit-down with Courtney. You'll have the opportunity to review your photos and pick your favorites and the products you want to order. This is your chance to relive the beautiful moments captured, filled with holiday cheer and love.

Once you select the perfect photos, we'll help you choose the best framing options to suit your home décor and gift choices for your loved ones. From simple elegance to ornate grandeur, you'll find a wide range of options to choose from.

Holidays are a time of joy, warmth, laughter, and love. At Courtney Mitchell Photography, we're all about transforming these treasured moments into beautiful, lasting memories. Let us help you create a pictorial narrative that encompasses the simple beauty of your family holiday season, immortalizing it forever.
