WHAT EXACTLY IS A MINI SESSION?
Most sessions will be 20 minutes in length, which is ideal for families with young kiddos, dogs, or spouses that hate photoshoots and let's face it, there is someone in everyones family who hates photos. This is different than a portrait session which tends to be an hour+ and/or outfit changes.
Many photographers will pick a date (or multiple dates) and have a certain location and grouping of available times. This makes it easy and efficient for the photographer to get as many shoots done on one day as possible without having to travel to multiple locations. I do sessions every 20 minutes during my mini session dates.
Mini sessions are ideal for SINGLE families but I have found that they are good for a short maternity session, just children images, or a birth announcement, etc. I've even done a quicks senior session at mini sessions.
Not only are these a great way to get a quick photo shoot to update your frames or gift something to family members, but it doesn’t break the bank either.
I offer mini sessions several times throughout the year but typically they are: Spring, Beach/Summer, Fall, and Winter/Holiday.
