Is a mini session right for you?

 

 A mini session is great if ….

  • you know you want just a couple of good photos of the family and you can go with the flow of a faster paced session

  • you have kids that are generally cooperative and won’t need much time to warm up to the camera

  • you are totally cool with the kids just being themselves even if that means they might not smile or might be a little camera-shy during that short time span. I always work for happy faces but sometimes 10 minutes just isn’t enough time to make that happen.

  • you are confident that you can arrive on time and the family will be ready to go for those quick 10 minutes we are together

  • you don’t have a specific location in mind and find that the location of the planned session fits perfectly with your style


 

You’re better off with a full session if …

  • you have a longer, more specific set of images in mind (i.e. each kid alone, kids together, mom+kids) which cannot be accomplished in the short 10 minute session.

  • you want to include extended family members like grandparents, aunts/uncles, etc.

  • you have kids who are more on the shy side or even the rambunctious side. Over the course of a 60 minute session, there’s plenty of time for kids to either warm up to the camera or burn off some energy before sitting for a nice family pose.

  • you know it’s next to impossible to get your crew out the door on time or you have a tight family schedule, because of nap times or sports, where you just can’t make it to the few mini session times available.

  • you really want to have your photos done at a specific location that is meaningful to you like Valley Forge or your backyard.

Tell me more!

 

What does the mini-session include?

 

Your session will last about 10 minutes - a perfect amount of time to have some fun and capture a few Christmas Card-worthy photos. Your session includes the high resolution digital downloads of approximately 8-10 images edited in both color and black/white.

What if it rains?

 

I really wish I could control the weather! A little sprinkle won’t stop us but pouring rain will! I will work with you to find a rain date and if we truly can’t find another date that works, I will refund whatever amount you have paid for your session fee.

What if I get sick or have to cancel?

 

All sessions require a non-refundable retainer to secure your day and time. In the event that you absolutely must cancel, you may transfer your session to another family with advance notice to the photographer.

What should I wear?

 

Be comfortable (weather-appropriate). Be yourself. If your toddler hates jeans right now, don’t bother forcing the issue. The session will be so much more fun and successful if everyone feels good! I do recommend staying away from neon colors, really bold stripes or clothing with words or large logos. You, your loved ones, and the connections you share should be the stars of the image. I am more than happy to chat with you if this is a big concern for you though! Pinterest is my favorite spot for inspiration!

When and how will i get to see my images?

 

I understand the pressing need for holiday cards so, within 2-3 weeks of your session, you will receive a link to a private online gallery of hand selected and edited images from our time together. You will then have two weeks to download your high resolution digital images that are included in the session fee as well as to order any prints or gifts if you’d like.

digital downloads are included?

 

Yep! I like to keep things simple and easy. Included in your session fee is access to download your final images as high resolution files. The “how-to” details are included when you receive the link to your gallery. They are yours to keep and share and use for personal purposes. Please know that every printer “reads” colors a little differently so it is always possible that a print may end up looking different than what you see on the screen. I highly recommend both MPix and UnitPrints for accurate prints.
