Me Ra has said “YES!” to Minis in Chicago!  She will be there for the CONFIDENCE! Workshop May 27th-29th, and she has carved out the time for Minis since families are enjoying them so much (and truth be told, she LOVES doing them!)!  People started emailing before I had a chance to do this blog post, so we already have a couple  bookings.  But there are two, maybe three spots still left.  This is an example of some of the Mini Magic she has been capturing with families from Colorado to New York!

Beautiful Mama Love!

Benefits of a Mini Photo Session with Me Ra

1. Done in 30 minutes! Have you ever experienced a photo shoot where you find yourself standing around, wondering what to do for the photographer.  Not going to happen with me!  One of the BEST time frames for a photo shoot with kids is about 30 minutes long.  And I maximize that 30 minutes like you would not believe.  We are moving, trying different ideas, laughing, playing and DONE before the kids are frustrated and tired. (Some of you may be thinking, THIRTY minutes?  What can you shoot in thirty minutes?  Answer: a whole heck of A LOT–see below)

2. 30 Final Images Narrowed Down for YOU! Are you one of those parents who has thousands, I mean THOUSANDS, of images on your computer?  Do you feel lost in knowing how to choose certain ones to print?  I hear your pain.  This is why I narrow down our time to the top 30 moments of the shoot.  And I mix them up with both Color and BW toning.

3. High Res Files FOREVER! The 30 Final Images are YOURS!  (yep, you get to keep the images and print them wherever you’d like)

4. Show the Sweetness Off!  16×20 Metal Print of Your Favorite Image.  Our team is more than happy to help you pick the one photo for this Metal.  Moms have gone CRAZY over these Metal Prints since we spotlighted them on the Nate Berkus Show.  Nate LOVES these Metal prints–I LOVE these Metal Prints!  Watch the episode by clicking “Turn Your Portraits into Art.”

Me Ra has these metals all around our house, and she even has them hanging on her outside deck because they can handle rain and snow and add this wonderful design and color to our backyard.  Once you get yours, you’ll join the fan club of Metal Prints! 

The BIG question…What can Me Ra shoot in 30 minutes? Well, this is what she shot in 10 minutes at a recent CONFIDENCE Workshop in Seattle.

Mom had these amazing, long legs, so Me Ra walked the group through my thought process on how to set up a shot that tells this story along with the story of two generations.

Love all that JOY!!

(Within this 10 minutes, 20 plus women were watching her as Me Ra walked them through my camera settings and creative process–while trying to keep the kids entertained–mind you.  )

When Me Ra does your family shoot, you won’t have an audience.  And, she is going to pull out the individual personalities of your kids so that you feel like the story of “who they are” is found in your photos.

When Me Ra is doing a live shoot on The Nate Berkus Show, she get less than 7 minutes and ONE click for each photo–one shot, and it has to work because 2 million viewers see it.

Bottom line, a thirty minute Mini Session with your family feels like total LUXURY on her end!!  She can do ENDLESS things in thirty minutes!

Email me to pick your time slot and pre-pay!  Once you are signed up, I will email you with details, like what to wear, what to bring, how to prepare, etc.  Questions?  Don’t hesitate to email and ask!

Want more than 30 minutes?

Me Ra’s Portrait Packages start at $3K.  She comes to your home and spends up to two hours with your family, documenting the many expressions of your family being in the place you love.  If this is something you’d like to discuss, shoot me an email.  I’ve planned last minute newborn shoots on the other side of the country in 48 hours, I’m ready for you!  🙂   email genie@fioria.us.

See you in Chicago!

Much love!

Genie (and yes, I’m NOT a Fake Assistant!  Although I’d LOVE a French accent a la Nate! Oui oui!! 😀

p.s.  Please keep in mind that you MUST be on time for your Mini Session.  If you are late, your time and payment will be forfeited.  Thanks for understanding and arriving early!
