I'm super excited to share this concept with you. It's going to be all about Mom And Me Photography Ideas, but these can also work Perfectly for a Dad And Me session as well. There really is not limit to what you can do with this idea, but I have a few special vintage themed shoots that were designed for this concept. I have already had a few clients, and they all Rave about it.
There are TWO Vintage Sessions that I am currently promoting under this Mom And Me Photography Ideas posting. One of them is a Rosie The Riveter style theme. That would be for the Mom and Me. It's really a Construction Worker / Welder kind of setting where you are up on a Skyscraper beam. So this would work great for Dads as well.
I built a faux Steel Beam at my studio that is held up with a couple of low rise stools. A parent and a child can comfortably sit on this beam, pretending to be suspended up high on a skyscraper. The Skyscraper background will be brought into the mix during the editing process. Initially the images are done on a plain paper background.
The outfits are very simple for this session. Both the parent and the child should be wearing a light blue or denim looking outfit. I do have serval denim tops and outfits for Adult Women and children. There is no need to have a professional Hairstyle for this either. I supply some red bandannas which add to that Rosie The Riveter look. For guys, I do have a construction helmet.
I also have some incredibly fun PROPS for my Mom And Me Photography Ideas. These FREE props include a Kid's Construction Book (that the parent can read to the child); a welding torch; vintage welding manual; welder helmet; vintage lunch box; and much more. Once you see the various props, you will naturally have fun interacting with them.
There are several standard fun poses that I will have ready to go. But this session is really about THE EXPERIENCE between MOM/DAD and their child. The child could be a teenager as well. I definitely encourage some natural "play" between the two of you while pretending to be seated on the skyscraper beam. Some of the best images are the non-posed ones.
We can also do a few photos of just Mom / Dad and Just the child. These are a great addition to the set. This session can also be for Two Adults.
The second Vintage Theme I have for the Mom And Me Photography Ideas, is the Retro Diner. This is another session where the final background is brought in digitally during the editing process. The basic idea is for the Mom / Dad and the child to be Waitresses or a Waiter. You could also have this where one person is the Waitress/Waiter and the other is a customer.
I do have a number of Waitress Uniforms and outfits of various sizes that are provided for FREE. A Waiter outfit would simply be a White button-down shirt and black pants and black tie. I have a few simple aprons as well.
For this sessions I have a variety of FREE Props and Furniture that works well here. This includes some Faux Diner Food; Faux Sodas; Diner Table; Retro Cooler; and much more. Again this is all about THE EXPERIENCE between the Parent and the Child. I encourage the two of you to "play" together as I photograph.
We will do mostly the Paired photos of the two of you, but we can also do some individual shots as well. Sessions can be done in the weekdays, weekends, and evenings, The Skyscraper Session can only be done at my Ste. Anne studio, as the beam is too large to transport to the Winnipeg Studio. The Retro Diner can be done at either studio.
This Mom And Me Photography Ideas session is all about Having Fun between MOM / DAD and your Daughter or Son. It's interactive and it creates a BOND between you. You will be able to look at your images for years and laugh and smile from the Experience.
