Bare Baby minis are some of my favorite mini sessions! I love the age that the babies are at, and how happy and curious they are!
Bare Baby mini sessions are made specifically for infants that are able to hold their heads up while on their tummies to one year old. We are aiming to show off all of the sweet, squishy little rolls and wrinkles that we all love!
Bare Baby minis will be held on February 7th in my studio in downtown Midland. These will be 20 minute sessions, include approximately 7 digital images with a print release (so you can share the cuteness with family!), all for only $120!
Please click the "buy now" button to book your Bare Baby mini session now! These will go VERY quickly, and I will only be shooting these for one day instead of two like I did last year. After you complete your session payment I will email you to finalized the details, including selecting a time for your session!

Studio Family Mini Session Booking
You asked for it (okay, you begged and pleaded) and here you have it. MORE family mini sessions!
When & Where: These will be held only on Saturday, November 15th in my studio in downtown Midland. The address is 214 W Texas, suite 507.
How much: The session fee of $150 is due now to secure your spot. This fee is non refundable and non transferrable. You are more than welcome to purchase a spot for someone else though!
What do I get: You will receive a 15 minute session and a minimum of 5 digital files with a print release. That means you get to download the picture and print it yourself, make Christmas cards with it, share it on Facebook...whatever floats your boat!
These mini sessions are best for a group of up to 6 people. If you are wanting to do a big huge multi-generational session or just have a really big family, please book two sessions back-to-back. You will receive a minimum of 10 images this way and a 30 minute session. Pets ARE allowed as well!!
These will be on a simple set- gray seamless backdrop with a sofa or a chair, depending on how many people there are. Sample family images are coming soon, but this shot from my Nursing Minis is a perfect example of the set-up!

Time slots are first paid, first served. Your session is not yours until payment has been confirmed.
Once you have taken care of that, please email me at mari@mariannelisephoto.com with your session time, contact information (phone, email, address) and a little bit of information about your family (names, ages, etc.).
I recommend wearing something neutral and casual like you see in the image above. Bright crazy patterns will be distracting. I will have more set information as the time gets closer!

Holiday Scheduling
Hello friends!
This Friday marks the first official day of Fall, and I couldn't be more excited! This is my favorite time of year! The days get cooler, the sun shines a little softer, the days are shorter, and I get to break out my favorite hoodies. All of that wonderful pumpkin-pie-spice scented goodness brings challenges for my business, however. As I said, days are shorter, so my opportunities for outdoor sessions are limited. The last two years, some of the "holy" has been taken out of my holiday season by the mountain of editing I was doing. My laptop would literally go with me on family vacations so I could try to visit while editing at the same time. This year, I will be doing this a bit differently. I am going to significantly limit my scheduling availability in an attempt to find some balance in what is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, instead of my most stressful!
The great thing about this season is that I have a studio available for your sessions. So here is how things will work:
As you can see, things are already filling up quickly, and session opportunities are limited! Book as soon as you can to ensure you can get your session in on time!

The great thing about this season is that I have a studio available for your sessions. So here is how things will work:
- Weekday evening outdoor sessions will only be available through October 15th.
- Anyone wishing for a studio based session will be able to schedule that session on weekday evenings. Sessions may be scheduled after 6:00pm.
- Weekend sessions are already extremely limited, as these book up months in advance. Usually, I do not offer Sunday sessions, but will offer some this holiday season. The only catch with Sunday sessions is that the $150 sitting fee must be paid at the time of booking.
- I will limit myself to only TWO Saturday sessions. Anyone wishing to secure a weekend session will need to pay the $150 sitting fee in advance.
- Sitting fees will NOT be refundable or transferable.
- Those who have already scheduled sessions before me will retain their session times and dates.
- Cutoff date to have photos ready for Christmas gifts or cards will be November 10th.
As you can see, things are already filling up quickly, and session opportunities are limited! Book as soon as you can to ensure you can get your session in on time!

This may be confidence suicide,
but I'm going to do it anyways.
I get great feedback from my friends and family about my work, and it's always positive. Don't get me wrong, I couldn't function without that constant support and praise! There's no way I could keep going without it! However, growing up the way I did, I've grown accustomed to constructive criticism. I took ballet, art lessons, piano lessons, and I spent 8 years playing the violin. Of course my mom and dad had nothing but wonderful things to say about my playing (parents think everything their children do is wonderful). But my teachers and private lesson instructor knew the difference. It was their responsibility to point out my mistakes so I could learn from them and improve from there, instead of continuing to play that one note flat over and over and over...etc.
I encounter the same issue with my work in photography. Of course my mom is going to tell me it's wonderful. So will my friends. If someone doesn't like it, 99.9% of the time, they wont say a word. I admire the few people out there that have had the guts to tell me when something isn't right, or when I've made a major blunder.
I've definitely made my share of mistakes. I'm talking plagiarism. (Yeah, yikes.) I had a client that wanted to replicate another photographers work, and I was naive enough to agree. I was young in my business, and ignorant to the ramifications, but I still should have known better. Of course, I had to answer to many people. I know that photographer was more hurt by my mistake than they let on, but their grace was such a valuable lesson. and thankfully they were kind, gracious, understanding, and helpful in making me understand what could happen to someone who makes that mistake.
That mistake changed the way I work. I almost never look at the work of local photographers now. It's not because I don't like what they do, because their work is always beautiful. It's because I don't want to have anything but my own creativity influencing my work. I don't read their blogs. I don't check their facebook pages or websites. It makes me confident that I'm sticking with what I know and doing my own thing.
I want your constructive criticism. I'm not fishing for compliments. If you've got 'em, I appreciate them. Leave them on the photo you like on my facebook page. Right now, I want that kind of criticism that will help me improve in my art and business. I don't mind if you want to be anonymous about it.
I need those people that are going to point out that flat note so I can adjust my hand position and play the song the way it was written.
