How does a Mini-Session work?
-
Preparation
- Check your Calendar: Pick a date and time that works for your family
- Lock it in: Reserve your time slot by paying for your session. I offer flexible payment options, including credit card for a small fee.
- Check your Email: I will be sending a very detailed email including all of the information you will need to prepare for your fabulous family experience!
- Wardrobe: Choose your outfits wisely! We will be moving around (standing, kneeling, maybe even some running for the kiddos), so the most important rule is to be comfortable! Whether you choose to coordinate is up to you. Ask me for some style tips!
-
Photo Day
- Be on Time: Your scheduled time is just that, scheduled. There will be others before and after you, and I do not want you to miss out on your session. Try to arrive early enough so you are fully camera ready at your scheduled time!
- Don’t Worry: Kids are unpredictable at times, so if you have little ones who can be uncooperative, that is ok! We’ll get through it. I’ll give you some tips to help keep them happy, and I’ll even let them run around if they want - we love a good action shot!
- The Main Event: Photos! We will take photos for 15-20 minutes. There will be a variety of poses and prompts we will go through, making sure there are plenty of genuine interactions and big smiles!
-
Delivery
- Be Patient: All great things take time, and your photos are no exception. I will make sure they are excellent, but this does not happen overnight, and we all deserve a healthy work-life balance!
- View & Download: It’s time to see your photos! My favorite 10 photos are included, but what will you do when you love them all? Don’t worry, you will have the option to purchase any additional photos you can’t live without! Make sure you download (not screenshot) for the best quality.
- Share, Review, Refer: If you really LOVED your experience, the best thing you can do is tell your friends, or tell the world! I would love to put your review on my website or share your top photo choice on my socials. Also, I would love you to share on YOUR socials! Tag me, invite me to collab post, I’ll happily accept!
Full Session vs mini session
Unsure which is best for you? Let’s break it down.
Mini-Session: A mini session is usually a 15-20 minute shoot. I will choose the location, date, and available time slots. We will go through a list of poses and prompts, mostly including all family members together. You will receive a specific amount of photos (usually 10 photos) with additional being watermarked, but available for purchase upon delivery. If there is a theme or concept, like a holiday theme or a fun activity, it will be the same throughout all sessions that day. The current mini sessions are priced at $175.
Full Session: A full session is usually a 30-60 minute shoot. You can choose your desired location (or we can find one together), date, and time. There will be more time for coaching, more unique posing prompts, and a wider variety in shots (mom with children, each child individually, mom and dad together, etc). You can expect a larger album, usually around 50+ photos. If you have any specific shots you want, or a concept or customized theme you’d like to see, a full session is best for this. You can expect a full session to be in the range of $350-$500.
mini-Sessions for all!
Mini-Sessions are not just for families with children, but for couples also! Do you want to do a cute, cozy shoot in the color changing leaves? Or take a romantic walk through the trees? I have poses and prompts for you as well!
