Mini Sessions Frequently Asked Questions

What is a mini session?: A mini session is a focused photo shoot lasting 20 minutes. Perfect for quick, beautiful portraits or small family shots without the full session commitment.
How many photos will I receive?: Mini sessions include 5 professionally edited digital images, delivered via an online gallery.
How much does a mini session cost?: Mini sessions cost $375.
Is there a fee to use the Client Closet?: Yes, access to the Client Closet outfits is available for an additional $100.
How much are additional images?: If you’d like more than the 5 included images, you can purchase additional images after viewing your gallery:

Individual images – $75 each
Add-on package: 10 additional images – $300
Add-on package: 20 additional images – $500
Full gallery upgrade (50 total images) – $600
Can I have all the unedited images?: Yes! If you prefer the unedited versions, you are always welcome to have them. The cost per image remains the same ($25 each)
Who can attend the session?: Immediate family members only. Guests outside immediate family are welcome for an additional $25 per person.
Do I get extra time by paying the $25 per additional person?: No, the session length remains the same—20 minutes—regardless of additional attendees.
What happens if I am late?: our session time will be shortened if you arrive late because mini sessions are scheduled back-to-back with no buffer time in between. To respect everyone’s appointment and keep the day running smoothly, we need to start and end on time. Please plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early, especially if you have kids, so everyone has time to settle in and be ready to start.
What happens if we have an emergency and can’t attend?: Mini session fees are non-refundable. However, in case of an emergency, your payment can be applied toward a future session date. Please contact me as soon as possible to discuss rescheduling options.
What type of pets can attend?: All pets are welcome! Bring your furry, feathered, or scaled family members along.
Who is the hair and make-up artist?: You'll receive a list of three trusted hair and makeup artists who offer exclusive discounted rates for my clients. Their contact info will be included in your What to Wear Guide.
What is the Client Closet?: The Client Closet is a curated collection of beautiful outfits you can borrow for your session to help you look your best. Access to the closet is $100.
What is personalized outfit guidance?: I create a custom outfit board just for you, featuring looks that flatter your body type and coordinate well with colors and textures. I prioritize pieces from the Client Closet, but if you prefer your own clothes or if I don’t have certain items, I send multiple outfit options based on current size availability and budget.
What if my child has special needs?: I welcome children of all abilities and want to make your session as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Please let me know ahead of time about any specific needs or accommodations so I can prepare and support your family in the best way.
Can I use the mini session for something other than a family session?: Yes and no. Mini sessions work well for quick maternity or pregnancy announcement photos—just keep in mind the backdrop will be the same for all 5 images, and there won’t be outfit changes or different locations like in a full session. Engagement, newborn, or wedding portraits are not suited for mini sessions.
When will I receive my photos?: You will receive your proof gallery within 5 business days after your session. Final edited images will be delivered within 10 business days after your favorite images are submitted or payment for additional images is received.
Can I book a full session instead?: Yes! If you want more time and more images, I offer customizable full sessions.
How do I book a mini session?: You can reserve your spot by visiting the booking page on my website or contacting me directly.
