Fall
In Love
This mini session is designed for friends, couples, and families (and your dog, too)! I photograph a variety of combinations and poses, including smiles and candids. Friends and couples will have a variety of poses. A typical family can expect photo combinationsto include the entire family, parents, siblings, and individual children shots.
The indoor studio option is recommended for groups of 6 or smaller.
Who should book a mini session?
You can make these photos themed to your preference! You may choose to dress in fall colors or possible Holiday outfits! Maybe in pajamas indoors!
Old Town has a variety of backgrounds we will use including a white brick wall, cute streets with trees and florals, and the cobblestone alley way. You may also choose to bring a blanket or prop of your choice. There are also plenty of shops and nearby places to explore after your shoot!
The indoor studio is located 5 minutes away from Green Spring Gardens in Alexandria. It is a natural light studio with a variety of clean, lgiht colored backdrops. You can theme it up with additional props to fit your vision including blankets, wreaths etc.

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?
COMPLIMENT & COORDINATE
When choosing outfits, choose outfits that you're comfortable in and compliment each other without looking too matchy-matchy. You can choose to do neutrals with a few pops of color, a softer palette that has different ranges in tone of the same shades, or bold. Patterns are also acceptable! Avoid harsh patterns on the eyes or combining too many patterns on different people.
Suggestions:
I always suggest that the woman (especially mom if it's a family session) choose an outfit she feels confident and beautiful in. Then plan the color palette and everyone else's outfits from there.
If you have a fun patterned outfit you would like to use, limit the number of people in patterns. That way they will pop and still coordinate with everyone else. Multiple patterns can look busy, and this way they won't be competing with one another.
Add dimension and interest by mixing up the texture of the clothing material and accents.
Feel free to use cute little accessories such as scarves, hats, belts and basically anything with a fabulous texture. Accessories can pull together an outfit and make it look complete. Plus by switching up accessories and layers, you can get multiple looks without having to do complete outfit changes.
Keep our backdrop in mind when choosing your clothing. If we are surrounded by fall leaves, layering in great textures is a great option.
Most importantly, be sure to wear clothes you feel comfortable in. Your confidence will really shine through in your photos!
Try to Avoid:
+Large logos
+Large text
+Neon colors
Be aware of any tan lines and how those will look in your chosen outfit.
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?
I edit and return your final gallery in a timely manner. Expect portrait galleries within 2 weeks of your portrait session. I always try for 1 week :)
WHAT IF IT CALLS FOR RAIN ON MY SESSION DATE?
If the weather calls for more than 50% chance of rain, I will likely reschedule the day of portraits. You will be contacted via email. The rain date will likely take place in November. If you are unable to make the rain date, your deposit can be used toward a future session with Katie Rose Photography in the 2021-2022 year. (The overcast sky can sometimes be the most even light for portraits...so no need to bum out if it was a light sprinkle earlier!)
HOW MANY IMAGES WILL I RECEIVE?
20 high-quality edited images. You will have the option to purchase additional photos if you choose.
CAN I BRING MY PET?
Dogs are allowed on park property, but must abide by park rules and remain leased at all times. You are responsible to clean up after your pet.
