This post briefly outlines the differences between mini sessions and full sessions when you book with me since I do not arrange the typical mini session events.

I have yet to successfully arrange a day jam packed with 20 minute time slots, but there always seem to be lots of interest in mini sessions. I'm not going to lie but I used to dread the words "mini session", immediately I thought *you mean cheap session*. Let's face it, photography sessions can be expensive (but being a photographer is expensive too!). If you are wondering if I will be "doing Valentine's day minis" or Easter minis or Halloween, the answer is yes. We can pretty much create any theme you want, you just need to book a time. 

You can book a mini session at any time, the same as a full session. A "mini" can either be booked for children only or for family. (Though I will always recommend booking full family sessions, I just want to spend more time with you!!)

Mini sessions cost less, include less shooting time, fewer poses, and less digital downloads. Don't worry, same amount of creativity! If you are "just looking for a shot or two" then a mini is your best option. What truly helps keep these sessions mini is the timing. I would not recommend a mini family session if you have a large family or you know from past experiences that 30 minutes is probably not going to be enough time.

A mini session might include a trip to a small park, with one main location whereas a full session would include multiple locations within a larger park or city. You'll have plenty of images to choose from your mini session, but you will have more to choose from with a full session.  

My mini sessions are perfect for themed sessions, think holidays or milestones for children. 

I'm excited to hear what YOUR ideas are for a mini session!!!
