Mini-Session FAQs

What is the difference between a mini-session and a full session?

Regular photo sessions are 60-90 minutes at multiple locations and outfit changes. You have a selection of 35+ photos. A mini-session is a smaller version of that, but a substantial difference in price. There is only one outdoor location, one outfit, and a limited time period for shooting.

Why do a mini-session?
This is a great opportunity to experience custom photography at a lower price. Sometimes around the holidays families do not need a large photo session, but something to mark the occasion.

What if it rains or the weather is bad on the day of our mini session?
In case of poor weather, mini photo sessions will be rescheduled as early as possible.

Are you in? Yes? Hooray!
