Fall 2022 Session Options

July 27, 2022

It’s that time again! There are four different mini session options this fall/winter. For each session type, you choose when you book if you want 5 images and all of the mini session images.

Christmas tree farm minis: October 22 and 23 (rain date October 29)
Studio holiday minis: October 29
Fall outdoor minis: November 5 and 6 (rain date November 13)

Q: What if I book as 5 images and decide I want all of them after the fact?

A: If you choose the 5 image option at booking and decide you want the whole gallery after seeing it, you can purchase it. It is just less expensive to purchase the entire gallery upfront. I can upgrade you anytime prior to the shoot, though, if you change your mind after booking.

Q: When do we receive our images?

A: You will receive your gallery within 10 days of the session. If you selected the 5 image package, you will get instructions for how to make your selections. If you selected “all images,” you will have a code to download the gallery at that point.

– CHRISTMAS TREE FARM MINI –

This will be my 5th year meeting clients at Country Cove Christmas Tree Farm in Murfreesboro, and they typically sell out. We shoot in the fields there, and I will have a classic black Windsor-style bench with me. Here are some examples from last year. Kids-only or the whole family.

– WINTER STUDIO MINI –

I introduced this mini last year, and it got rave reviews from the families who came! I’ll have a collection of wreaths on the studio wall and a large tufted bench. It will look wintry but will be a little more timeless. Kids-only or the whole family.

– FRANKLIN OUTDOOR MINI –

Third year for these minis, though I’m going to switch up our location. We will still be at a local Franklin park and be aiming for beautiful evening light. Think simple and classic outdoor family portraits. Kids-only or the whole family.

– SANTA MINI –

Can you believe this will be our 7th year together? It’s for good reason– my Santa minis are different than most in town– your child(ren) get 5-10 minutes with Santa. They can ask questions, show him their wish list, make silly faces, etc. So many families come every year just because this experience is unique!

While I slightly tweak my set every year, the black wall with flocked trees will be back. I always aim for a classic style– gold and neutral décor.

As a reminder, this is a kids-only session.

– CHRISTMAS TREE FARM MINI –

This will be my 4th year meeting clients at Country Cove Christmas Tree Farm in Murfreesboro, and they typically sell out. We shoot in the fields there, and I will have a classic black Windsor-style bench with me. Here are some examples from last year. Kids-only or the whole family.

– WINTER STUDIO MINI –

I’m creating a wintry set at the studio– complete with a collection of wreaths on the studio wall and a large tufted bench. This is a classy set for kids-only or all of you. It will look wintry but will be a little more timeless. This is a great indoor option for the whole family! These will be taking place at my brand new studio. Don’t know what I’m talking about? I’m still located in Lenox Village in Nashville, but we moved to another section of the neighborhood into a different building in early September. Our new space is big and bright!

To book October 30, click here.

– FRANKLIN FIELD MINI –

These sold out last year, so they’re back again this year! This is for kids-only or all of you. They take place at a local Franklin park. We’ll stand/sit in this beautiful spot where the sun sets behind us. Think simple and classic outdoor family portraits.

– SANTA MINI –

Santa wasn’t able to come last year, but we are so excited to be back! Woohoo! I’ve offered these since 2015. Hard to believe this will be our 6th year together. Santa minis was one of the first things I ever offered when I first got a studio. I remember being so nervous about it because it was a lot of NEW all at once, but it was great!

While I slightly tweak my set every year, the black wall with flocked trees will be back. I always aim for a classic style– gold and neutral décor. My Santa minis are different than most (maybe all?) in town– your child(ren) get 5-10 minutes with Santa. They can ask questions, show him their wish list, make silly faces, etc. Many clients have been coming year after year just because this experience is unique! I’d love for you to join us.

Fall 2020 Session Options

September 8, 2020

It’s amazing to me that when I first started this business years ago that I used to blog every single session. Yep. Whew. That was two kids and a lot of other commitments ago. Ha! Now, I’m doing well to get summaries up of special events. Time changes things. I thought it would be helpful if I posted all of the different session options this fall for those who are new to ECP and are trying to get the lay of the land. With Covid-19, things are a little bit different. We can’t do our typical Santa minis, which I know is disappointing. I’ve created what I think is a great option, though, so make sure you scroll down to see that. For the first time, I’m inviting the whole family– not just kids– to a winter studio mini AND to a new outdoor mini session. The Christmas Tree Farm minis are back by popular demand, and I only have 7 spots left at the time I’m typing this. Read below to check out all of the fall and winter options from Elizabeth Clements Photography. I’d love to see you and your crew!

Regular Family Photo Sessions: Half or Full Sessions

I offer two main portrait session types year-round to families. A half session runs about 30 minutes and includes 15 images that you get to choose from a digital gallery. A full session is anywhere from 45-75 minutes depending on family size, how engaged the kids are, etc, and includes a much larger gallery. I deliver basically all of the files that I believe are keepers (good expressions, in focus). I guarantee at least 45 files, but it is generally far more than that. More details about half and full family outdoor sessions can be found on my website here.

Nashville Studio Winter Minis

November 13 & 14 (Friday/Saturday) in the morning and early afternoon
At the studio (6977 Sunnywood Drive in Nashville)
Good for just kids or the whole family! Sessions are for immediate family only.
It will be like my Santa sets have been (black backdrop, flocked Christmas trees, neutral/gold decor, bench, “snow” on the ground, etc). Photos show set from 2019. Some of those details will repeat and others will be new!
Santa can’t come himself due to health issues, but I have arranged to borrow his boots so I can stuff them and we can create a version of that client-favorite “boot shot” I’ve been doing for years with kids by Santa’s boots! I know it isn’t ideal, but I think it feels like a great option for those wanting a “Santa” photo in this really weird year.
Minis will last 10-15 minutes and will include 5 images (you choose from a gallery within 10 days of the session).

Nashville Santa Mini Sessions 2019

October 22, 2019

Hey friends, booking is well underway for my annual Santa minis in my Nashville studio. In fact, limited spots remain! It is going to be another fabulous weekend of children piling onto Santa’s lap to share wish lists, ask questions, and general silliness. I have reserved two dates– November 8 and 9, 2019. Some of the decor will be the same as pictured below (flocked trees, black backdrop, chair, Santa 😂), but I will be incorporating a few new design details.

If you’d like to see what spots remain, check out my booking calendar here. Just click on November 8 or 9.

P family | Franklin family photographer

October 1, 2019

Ok, this is one of my favorite new spots to take families. I think it is best suited for an evening session due to the way the light falls there and where the shade is. Look at that dreamy golden light streaming through the trees! I believe I first starting taking clients there last fall (2018), and so many loved it! I definitely plan to advocate for it to be in rotation for family photos again this year.

Speaking of which, we are already in the MIDDLE of family photo session season around here at Elizabeth Clements Photography. Say what? It may only be early October, but I have had several busy weeks already working with families. I have had so many families say to me, “I’m so thankful we are doing this EARLY this year so we aren’t rushed.” For the past several years, I have stopped shooting family sessions after Thanksgiving week because it becomes too much of a crunch time for me with editing and clients with trying to order/address/mail cards. This year, I anticipate stopping a little earlier in November due to some family commitments. Schedules only get crazier the closer we get to the holidays, so considering marking family photos off your list now.
