Mini / Style Sessions

what is a mini-session?

Simply put, a mini-session is a smaller version of a full session. Sounds pretty straightforward. But let’s break it down a little further.

Logistics of a Mini Session:

• 15-30 minutes long.

• Scheduled back to back.

• Location is a spot the photographer chooses.

• Date is a day the photographer chooses.

• Includes 5-10 images.

So what makes it different?

• Sessions over 30 minutes are considered full sessions.

• It isn’t custom to each client – meaning the client doesn’t get to choose their own date or time.

• Mini sessions do mean fewer amounts of images, but that’s okay! I typically deliver a gallery of 20 images and let my clients pick the 5-10 that are included in their session, or purchase additional images.

WHO ARE MINI’S FOR?

So clearly, mini sessions aren’t the solution for everyone, BUT they really do allow clients to get a great selection of images in a quick amount of time!

If clients are looking for a custom session – a date they chose or at a specific location – generally mini sessions ARE NOT the solution for them. I encourage these folks to book a full session.

The types of sessions that work well for minis are families (immediate families, not large extended families), couples, maternity, and individuals. The timing is best for groups no larger than 5 people!
