Mini photography sessions are short, 15 minute sessions. I offer two types of mini sessions: mini session days and choose-your-own-mini sessions. Mini session days are back to back sessions shot at one location. These days happen at a pre-set location and date with multiple time options. Choose-your-own-mini are mini sessions that happen as stand-alone bookings and you get to choose the location. These are priced higher ($200 vs $175) than the mini session days because the cost of gas and prep time is not split across multiple groups.

If you’re trying to decide between a mini session and a full session the list below may help you decide which is best for your family. Both options create beautiful photos that meet your current needs, schedule, and goals.

Mini Session: ($175 – $200)

• 15 minutes
• 15 high resolution, hand edited image downloads from an online gallery, with option to purchase more.
• Immediate family only (You decide what family means, typically 10ppl limit)
• Less variety in poses and backgrounds
• Great for quick updates, reluctant seniors, busy families, holiday cards

Full Session: ($250 – $350)

• 40 – 60 minutes (price and time based on group size)
• 40 high resolution, hand edited image downloads from an online gallery, with option to purchase more.
• More time for kids to warm up
• Options for more backgrounds and time for more play and poses
• Perfect for creating a photo story, extended family sessions, senior photos, and celebrating milestones like birthdays, retirement, engagements, etc.
• Collaboration in location, time, and creative direction of the shoot

I love meeting your pets! If they are comfortable in public, they are more than welcome to join us! I recommend bringing someone with you to be the pet wrangler so they can help keep your pet’s attention while I shoot and manage your pet when they’re not in the shot. Treats and attention grabbing toys are also good ideas.

Yes! Mini session days have flexiblity within the full series of sessions. For example if you book a fall mini and need to adjust your booking, you can choose from all the Fall Mini dates and times that are still available. Choose-your-own-mini days are also adjustable as long as our availability matches. You can also change your mini session day booking to a choose-your-own-mini day if needed for a slight upcharge.

All sessions require a $50.00 non-refundable deposit. Due to the nature of mini-sessions any sesssions cancelled with less than a week’s notice will not be refunded – they can however be transfered. Of course, there are exceptions to that for illness and emergencies. Life happens and I’m always willing to work with you. If a full refund isn’t a possiblity, transfers, credits, and reschedules always are.

Previews from your session are shared within 48 hours of your session. Proof galleries are typically sent within 2-3 weeks of your session. For busy seasons, that window may be extended but will be communitcated at booking.
