Fall Micros this year were a bit of a wild ride. The session was originally scheduled for one day where families came out to my property and had their photos taken. Well, it did not go that easy.

The week of the family sessions, I was in Bayfield, WI photographing an elopement with Lace & Brass. The Friday that I was coming home, I was continuously checking the weather and sure enough, it was still high chances of rain so I sent out emails. All of the families were agreeing that the weather was just not going to be favorable to photograph in so we started rescheduling.

For some families, the new session date that we had picked worked out perfectly and had wonderful glowing sunsets and others had snow flurries flying.

Despite the weather and some families having their session date rescheduled a total of three times, we made it work and it was absolutely incredible. A lot of these families that I worked with for the Fall Micros this year, I had spent photographed last year and I tell you, it is the biggest freaking honor.

Each family was amazing with kiddos that were so willing to give all the smiles and the best hugs.

The biggest questions that I had this year was “what do I wear?” and “what if my kids don’t cooperate?” My answer to this is that you should wear what you are comfortable in first off. As far as colors, I always recommend neutrals, earth tones, and jewel tones. Patterns and textures are also incredible to incorporate into your color scheme. My biggest tip? Pick mom’s outfit and build from there. As far as kiddos cooperating? It depends on the kid, the weather, did they nap? Are they hungry? I will be totally transparent, some kiddos show up and are complete rockstars. Other kiddos need a nudge. I don’t force kiddos to do anything, we instead play games, they tickle their parents, we run, we look at leaves, look for birds and so on. By giving them things to do, they don’t realize just how much fun they are having and the most genuine smiles and laughs come out.

Next year’s Fall Micros Tinies have already been released and I am so excited to see what comes of this next year.
